Canned. Poured a slightly cloudy yellow gold. Bubbly and fizzy. Smells of wheat and orange peel. Little bit of rye but your standard acidic wheat otherwise.

Notes from March 2009 Growler pour into my Carlsberg pilsner glass. A flume of champagne head, with lace just like it's namesake. Though it's all atop a dusty pale straw body. Smell is a touch doughy, accompanied by a little pepper. A subtle apple tone with a grassy touch. Even warm, it barely makes a showing. Flavor is dominated(I use that word hesitantly) by crusty bread, minoring with an illusive rub of citrus rind, & an itch of yeast. A pleasant toasted, iron-y taste draws out the finish. Coriander didn't show up in mine. In total, very much in reserve, & even watered down in some aspects. Just not enough flavor for such an interesting recipe. Carbonation is somewhat spritzy, but overall a little low(probably because I didn't pounce on the growler the moment we met). Dusty. Way too subtle & cautious I felt. Let the rye be free. Because of its tip-toeing, I can't help but think of it as an underachiever. A great idea that just needs some heavy tweaking(psst... more rye).

Bottle. Pours a muddy brown with large frothy beige head that lasts. The aroma/taste is leather, oak, dark fruit. Super dry and disappointing.

12 oz. can from HEB in Boerne, TX. Pours a clear orange-gold color with a white head and great retention. A few spots of lacing. I smell more yeast than honey, but not much of either. Stronger yeast flavor than the aroma, but still only a hint of honey in the finish. Borderline hefeweizen flavor. Okay, but not my favorite take on the style. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness.
