Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wheat and oranges. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of wheat, leading to a dry wheaty finish. Thanks joergen for sharing.

Sampledat the Hopsnobbery Collective Stout tasting on 01/16/09. This brew pours brownish black with a medium thin and fizzy beige head that burns away quickly. Latticework lacing. Milk chocolate and mild coffee in the nose. Thin body for a Stout and sort of creamy, with flavors of roasted coffee and malt. Just a touch of hops as well. The finish is short and roasty with a mild coffee aftertaste. Just average overall.

Bottle from the wine shop at Bavarian Inn. The beer pours dark brown with a thin and foamy beige head that recedes slowly. Sticky sheet of lacing on the glass. The aroma is roasty with notes of malt and chocolate. Medium body that gets progressively thinner. There is a roasty chocolate malt character with traces of hops. The finish is dry with a roasted coffee aftertaste that is short-lived. Decent overall.

bottle - I had this one side by side with Otter Creek Pale Ale. This brew pours hazy copper with a one finger fading white head. It has a caramel malt aroma with a little citrus. The flavor has some good, crisp citrus hops along with the sweet caramel malt. The bitterness is fairly low but it’s very well balanced. It’s a nice beer and in my opinion it’s a little underrated here.

bottle - Pours lightly hazy copper with a one finger, lingering white head. It has a pleasant aroma dominated by grapefruit accented hops. The flavor is also led by grapefruit hops along with some sweet malt and hints of pine and caramel. It’s medium bodied, well balanced, and overall a very solid IPA.

bottle - Pours amber-brown with a thin tan head. It has a nice caramel malt aroma. The flavor is the expected sweet caramel nut malt with minimal hops. It’s light bodied and could use more to it, but let it warm up for awhile and it holds up decently.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a thin tan head and a light chocolate malt aroma. The roast malt flavor has some light chocolate and coffee notes. It’s medium bodied at best and could stand to be more robust in both body and flavor intensity. It finishes mildly dry and I guess overall I’d say it’s alright.

Pours hazy yellow with small white head. It smells of citrus and yeast. The flavor is sweet citrus and this light bodied, refreshing beer has a clean finish. It’s nothing special, but I thought the fruit notes came through very well and overall it’s an enjoyable beer.

bottle - Pours light amber with a one finger head. It has a mild, malt aroma. The flavor is lightly toasted caramel malt and a bit of hops. It’s light bodied and while drinkable and not offensive at all, quite unremarkable.

Bottled, thanks omhper. Yellowish golden colour, not much head. Aroma is wheat, citrus fruits as well as some slight notes of herbs. Flavour is banana, wheat, some spices and citrus fruits. Mildly bready/yeasty notes in the finish and aftertaste. Refreshing, but quite standard. Good attempt at a German Hefeweizen by a US brewer though.
