Tasting with Casey, Traci, Craig, Stella and Loz 27-09-08 Pours amber, with a thin white wispy head. Striking bittersweetness, some bonfire toffee. The bitterness is really strung out, good soft squidgy tangerine as well, very likeable.

Tasting with Casey, Traci, Craig, Stella and Loz 27-09-08 this bottle brought along by Casey Pours very dark brown looking quite brittle at the edges and with the thinnest film of head on mine and a few random brown bubbles. Rich, creamy chocolate, silky and smooth with some warmth. There is lots of cappuccino in this along with a good double shot of espresso. Some oakiness and vanilla towards the end, nice.

Pint @ brewpub. Pours a completely hazy, cannot see through it, golden/thick yellow color. Has a nicely sticky lacing as well. Aroma is candy sweet bubblegum. A bit sweeter smelling than standard Hefe. Taste is slightly less bubblegum and more just sweet candy. With a light herbalness in the aftertaste. Hey I like estery brews and this is definitely got plenty of that.

Tap @ brewpub. The beer comes to the table with a very dark amber color that comes of as almost a shade of brown and has a sticky lacing. Aroma is hoppy ala West Coast with a bit of "green" plant-like hops at the end. Taste is lightly sweetened hops with a clean maltiness. Aftertaste is lightly "green" hops. Its pretty low on bitterness but with a dry bitter-esque flavor lingers a bit. Its a darker IPA, I don;t get any chocolate or roast brew at all. Nice stuff that I would drink again.

Pint @ brewpub. Yeah, this was really nothing special. I mean it wasn’t "bad" just completely dull and uninteresting. Maybe meant for the non-geek crowd. Clear muted-golden color. Lightly sticky lacing. Aroma is mineral, earthy, and grainy. Not real wheat or esters coming through. Taste is basically like sweet paper. Eh.

Poured from a growler into my ,4 liter Kulmbacher glass. Growler was generously transported from the brewpub to my house by csbosox. Pour is hazy straw yellow and orange with a big white head. Nice thick lacing left behind as the head retreats. There are a bunch of carbonation bubbles clung on all sides of the glass. Bubbles rise to the top as well. Aroma of bready wheat toast, perfumey lemon citrus and bubble gum. The bubble gum comes on last but certainly is the strongest. Taste is the wheat, with a touch of lemon citrus and standard Hefe yeastiness. Palate is medium. Overall a nice hefe. Thanks for being my Free State mule, Chris.
