From bottle to Tulip glass. Great tart sourness and tropical fruit, including kiwi, on the nose. Sweet grain and saltine cracker aroma as well. Pours a slightly hazy straw/yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly leaving a collar and dusting across the top. Taste is nice lactic acid with the wheat providing a healthy backbone and nice medium mouthfeel. Lots of fruit on the aroma and a great dry finish. Well carbonated, but not quite effervescent.

500 ml bottle shared by beastiefan2k. The pour is lightly hazed gold yellow, with a small white head. The aroma is soft wheat, a touch of citrus lemon, decent amount of herbal, and grass and straw in the back. The wheat and the herbal blend together giving it an almost medicinal nose. The taste is the soft wheat, along with the herbal medicinal flavors, lightly lemon citrus, and maybe a little bit of earth in the back. I really do not perceive any smoke here, though the earthiness is a dirty earth. The palate is medium bodied, soft low carbonation. This is a weird beer, interesting though. Thanks for sharing Eugene.

Pour is a hazy orange with almost no head at all. Aroma is hard to detect. Some hefe banana and estery yeast but that is faint and there is not much else. Flavor is more pronounced. Some sour notes to start then comes a almost juniper berry. A ever so slight smoke note hits the tounge after the swallow. It’s different I’ll give it that.

Pours deep cloudy gold into a stein. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface leaving scant sheets. Sweet tropical fruit aromas. Medium bodied and dry with earthy caramel and sour wheat front to back. Lasting slightly bitter finish. No sign of smoke.

Whole Foods, Bowery, NY 500ml ($7): Pours a light copper with floaters and bubbles and a loose looking white head. Aroma is mostly ginger. I don’t really smell the anise, but I taste a tiny bit of it. The rosemary is subdued as are the bay leaves. The body is light and crisp. This is mostly a ginger ale, but certainly a good one.

Pours a hazy yellow with light soapy head. Huge nose of potpourri. Tastes heavily of ginger, lemon, bay leaves, eucalyptus, earth, and anise. Interesting different brew for a Tuesday night
