Hazy golden yellow coloured body with a light head. Aroma of fresh wheat, curacao, yeast and some honey. Medium-bodied; Strong spicey flavour coupled with some coriander seed and plenty of wheat and yeast. Aftertaste has more of the same with some very pleasant and filling malt flavours. Overall, a very good local wheat - definitely will get better as they continue to brew this one. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 26-March-2007.

Bottled, thanks Immy! Clear ruby, dense creamy head. Striking lychee aroma. Sweet and powerfully hoppy. Alcohol shines through as orange liqueur. The mouthfeel is clean and th efinish is very bitter and lingers for an eternity. Superb hop character. With a softer malt character it’d be something very special.
