Pour is a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is not much. Some citrus with a bit of malt. Flavor is bland and not much to speak of. Some citrus again but nothing really else. Pass this one by.

Pour is a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is a blast of fresh blueberrys. I can smell this from across the room and now im in the mood for blueberry pancakes. Flavor is not as good as the aroma but blueberry juice is nothing i want to drink. It does have some berry and yeastyness. Not quite a wheat, more like a lager with blueberry flavoring. Wierd beer.

Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, small white head. Aroma of smoke and roasted malts. Flavour is very weird, sweetish plummy, candy sugary, nutty and caramellish. Only weak roastiness noteable. Watery brew.

Like most beers of the style there is little to enjoy, but this is better than many others. It is sort of a Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss with a heavier body. Gold, and a little sweet. Not much else to say. Purchased at Trader Joe’s, St. Louis Park, MN.

Pour is yellow with a small white head. Aroma is strong apricots, so much so i could smell it as i was pouring it in the glass. Flavor is not good so much. Totaly weak and watery is the best description. It smells so good you think this would taste better but its just MEH.

Bottle. Aroma like opening a can of apricots in syrup with some wheat nose coming through. Light amber with small head. Light apricot wheat flavor - rather light and not cloying as the aroma would lead you to believe. Flavor and palate like those flavored, sweetened mineral waters. No offensive flavor, just little beyond apricot and mineral water.

Best before September 2006 bottle consumed on 7/3/06.
Actually got some head out of this one, surprisingly, but then, when Sea Dogs are fairly fresh, they do produce a decent head. Large, white and foamy, it eventually recedes to a ring, with some very minor, spotty lacing. Deep, near-pencil-yellow color, with some brass-golden tones and a medium-high level of clarity.
The nose has some light herbal, leafy hops in it. Very lightly bitter, plant-like almost and quite sharp (or is that some soapiness?). Not much in the malt, some touches of base malt, bit of very lean caramel and mostly cookie dough. Though it isn’t overly sweet in the nose, with the sharp hops cutting through any of that.
The flavor starts off dry, crisp and hoppy, overcarbonated, but still at least manageable because of that (manageable in that it cuts the sweetness). Bitter, almost soapy hops run through the middle, really souring/bittering the palate, as some light dough and graininess finishes things off. As Porterhouse says, there’s something not quite right here? An ester or a phenol, perhaps, that I don’t recognize, some soapiness maybe?
