Super hazy golden colour with a thin fast-dying white head. Aroma of lemons, yeast, wheat, coriander seed and curacao. Light-bodied; Very carbonated; Odd complexity in the taste-Starts out very spicey with nutmeg, cloves and coriander seed all prevalent. Next comes the sweetness of curacao, brown sugar and sweet peaches. Finally, the taste is topped by the tartness of sour lemons. The most complex wheat i've ever tasted! Aftertaste (way afterwards) is a nice combination of all the three aformentioned stages in the taste...lasting long, especially for a wheat! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Shenandoah Brewing Company in Alexandria, Virginia and sampled it on 21-December-2003.

Slightly hazy brown colour with a thin tan head! Aroma of soap, strong nuts and a fair amount of malt! Tastes of malt, nuts and a fair amount of sugars. Aftertaste shows some bananas and subtle maltiness with predominiant malt. Overall, a better than average brown-impressive for someone who doesn't like the style! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Shenandoah Brewing Company in Alexandria, Virginia and sampled it on 21-November-2003.

Dark brown colour, slightly opaque with a super-thin tan head. Aroma of slight coffee, roasted malt and slight sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavour with a bit of sweetness. Aftertaste bittered from the malt, but fairly sweetened from the caramel. Overall, a decent beer, not too special. I bought this twelve ounce bottle from Shenandoah Brewing Company in Alexandria, Virginia and sampled it on 21-November-2003.

Slightly hazy golden amber colour-looks like apple cider-no head at all! Slightly yeastie aroma full of canned corn-not too pleasant. Light-bodied; Very mild wheat flavour with some slight citrus notes. Aftertaste has notes of citrus and wheat with a slight bitterness. Overall, a decent beer-I was expecting a bit more!

Dark brown colour with a dense tan head. Pleasant aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and even a bit of hop freshness. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong sweetness initially with a milky component which melds into a malt background. Aftertaste bittered from the malt, but left sweet. Overall, a good beer, and definately one to try! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle at The Lost Dog Cafe in Arlington, Virginia with JonR888710 on 20-November-2003 - Cheers Jon!
