Pours a hazy orange-amber color with a medium off-white head. Thin lacing. Aroma is lightly hopped and a little citrusy. Medium-bodied and crisp with a decent hops flavor through and through. Very little malt but it is there. The finish is crisp and rather hoppy. This beer really does nothing to offend, although it doesn't really take any chances either.

(draught) Straw yellow; slim white head. Light spicy nose, bit of coriander. Citrussy without outspoken orange peel aroma. Spicy witbier taste, wheat, coriander; lemony touch in the finish. Light mouthfeel, refreshing. Nice, light white.

Cloudy pale yellow. Light peach, marshmallow and coriander aroma. Malty, lightly spicy (coriander, mint) flavour. Marshmallowy, and pretty well-made.

Old rating (2003): Pale light saffron. Hazy. Creamy, light honey character with biscuits, sunflowers, and limited citrus. Sweet and sour towards the finish, with some citric crispiness. 6 3 7 3 13 = 3.2

Bright yellow. Some aroma of hops. Had the flavor of a mid-quality american standard with a barely detectable wheat taste at the end. I was very disappointed in this beer, and can't figure out why the the score is so high, it stands down there right next to leinie's honey weiss in the category of American wheats you shouldn't drink.

A cloudy wheat that is flavorful, but not unique or noteworthy in any regard. Earthy flavor with a slight hint of banana-flavored esters. A nice summer brew, but there are better beers to be had and consumed.

Thanks to Indra for the trade. 2002 Bottle: Pours a rubicund color appropriate for the season, with a medium thick beige head and nice lacing. Aroma is malty and spicy. Medium-bodied with flavors of malt, cinnamon, licorice and some hops. Finish is nicely spiced with a caramel aftertaste. Well done.

Thanks to MOBoy for the trade. Pours a beautiful rich dark amber color with a medium beige head. Aroma is pleasantly toasty and malty. Full sweet malt flavor with a touch of hops and caramel. Finish is sweet. Not bad at all.

Thanks to hey_kevin for this one. This was a decent Amber Lager with a dark amber color and thin off-white head. No real lacing to speak of. Rich caramel malt aroma. Rather strong malt flavor with a nice finish. Not bad at all.

Draught. A fairly nice dry stout, comparable to Beamish. Very dark opaque near-black, served with thin white head, but with good retention. Aroma was lightly roasty with only a hint of chocolate and nuts. Flavor was again mildly roasty, possibly a bitter chocolate finish. Light creamy mouthfeel from the nitro. Update for bottle tasting: I want to lower the numbers significantly (to 2.9) but I'm holding off. This bottled sample may have been off. It featured a pretty significant tang in the finish, which could have been an attempt to replicate the Guinness tang, or it just might have been accidental contamination. My notes: Thin fading head over a near opaque garnet, tinged brown. Caramelly chocolate aroma, hint of roast. Full caramel and ashy flavor, dry roasted finish. Tangy finish, lingering tang on the sides of the tongue.
