Bottle. Very fragrant spice and citrus aroma—too much stuff added maybe. Nicely balanced flavor, though. Refreshing and light with a good dry finish. A bit too spicy, but good enough.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with large foamy head with some retention and not much lacing. Aroma of medium wheat malt with some coriander. Taste is also a mix between some average wheat malt notes with light fruity ester and some coriander. Body is about average with OK carbonation. Lacking body and spicing is a bit shy for a middle of the road offering.

33 cL bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very hazy lemon yellow color with a thin head. Kind of sickly looking. Aroma is bread, spice and dusty, grainy notes. A little offensive. Fortunately the taste is a big improvement... yeast, bread, grain, citrus, caramel. Medium bodied. What a freaking weird brewery these guys are.
