draft at the brewpub - Pours gold with a white head and has a very mild malt and honey aroma. It tastes sweet with ample honey and some light malt. The honey is a nice touch to make it a bit different. It tastes good as a refresher. Yet there’s not enough to this beer.

draft at the brewpub - Pours lightly hazy orange and smells of wheat and raspberry. The flavor is full of raspberries, probably an extract, and other than that is a sweet, light bodied wheat with not much going. It’s alright.

12oz bottle. Thick dirty orange-tan color. Big fluffy white head. Tart lemon-citrus aroma with some toasty malt in the background. Tart and tangy stuff. This is a pretty underrated beer. Nice creamy medium-bodied mouthfeel. Pretty balanced, with some up front bitterness that leads into the fruity malt finish. Tangy stuff, lots of character.

2001 or 2002 bottle via a trade with ratman197. Pours with a very small head over a muddy bronze body. Aroma has tons of caramel, licorice, leather, currants, sherry and brown sugar. Taste is brown sugar, sherry and caramel. Age has been very friendly to this beer. Light bubbles.

12oz bottle. Big raspberry aroma hits you on the first whiff. Hazy orange-tan, with a respectable head. The taste is pretty straightforward red-raspberry, extract style. The wheat adds a hint of complexity, but this one is a little one-dimensional, with the sweet raspberry taste dominating. Not really bad for the style, just lacks some subtleties. OK.

12oz bottle. Opaque black with a small lacy layer of beige head. Mild roasty chocolate aroma. Lots of chocolate and coffee tastes, quite roasty. Mellow carbonation gives it a watery, but very drinkable mouthfeel. Lingering cocoa aftertaste. Mellow balanced hops help out, but are sort of in the background of the rich malt. Slightly better than your typical US Stout I suppose.

12oz bottle. Cloudy orange-gold color, not much head. Mellow honey malt aroma. The taste is smooth and mellow, the sweet malt balancing out quite well with the sweet honey. A touch low carbonation-wise, and lacks any hop depth. An easy drinker and somewhat unique, it still lacks in body...too watery. I’d assume it’s a little better fresh on tap.

12oz bottle. !005 flat. No hiss, no bubbles. Has to be an off bottle. Unfortunate, as it’s got a pretty nice taste to it. Earthy hop aroma. Deep orange-brown color, a little darker than typical. Sweet upfront with a nice bitter finish. Good, but underwhelming when uncarbonated.

12oz bottle. Massively effervescent with resulting head. Black brown color. Rich, with lots of chocolate toffee flavor. Odd carbonation. Rich and chewy, very full bodied for a beer of it’s strength. Something about the mouthfeel of this beer is off to me, be it the bittering hops or the carbonation. Either way, it still comes across as a quality US Porter.

12 oz bottle generously given to me by Dansting. Pour is cloudy golden and light orange. Full two inch white head that falls fast. Aroma of cloves, grass, hay, honey, wheat and some faint citrus. Taste is full bodied wheatiness with slight honey sweetness and a nice yeast spiciness. This tasted much more of a Hefe to me than a wheat ale. Regardless, nice drinkable beer. Thanks Dan.
