Having a re-rate of this...wow. I used to really like this beer. Now, it’s a dull gold, totally vapid excuse for a wheat. There is nothing going on here, and it had its ass kicked in a flight that included wheats from Sam Adams and Weinhard’s.

Hazy orange colour. Spicy, phenolic aroma of medecine, sweat, cologne...like a classic saison meeting Orval. The palate is crisp, slightly toasty but largey perfumey, piney and phenolic. Straightforward, but I like it this way. Refreshing.
Old Notes (2000): Orangey, lively aroma and palate. Soft, rounded malt notes, peppery hints, and a touch of acidity dancing on the tongue. Very stylish.

Exceptional example. Very flowery aroma and palate. These guys have used some of the world's best malt to get flavours like this, and have mashed it well.

A wonderfully acidic, spicy, flavourful rendition of the style. Astonishingly refreshing with a huge blast of ginger and depth of pepper, earthy hoppiness, and a dry finish. Re-Rate is hopefully pending.
