Hazy dark gold, white head. Nose is floral, soapy, some honey, lemon, orange. Flavor is the same. Not a ton of wheat but I'm not complaining. Maybe some bubblegum. Soft, medium bodied finish. 7 3 7 4 13

12 ounce can thanks to hershiser2. Thanks! Hazy amber, head quickly fades. Aroma of toasted grain, lemon, a bit of vinegar. Taste is grain, sugared fruits, lemon. Medium bodied, tart., high carbonation. Weird, and maybe a bit off, but it's decent nonetheless.

Draft at Fair Winds. Poured a mostly clear yellow/orange color with a small white head. Aroma was nice funky Belgian yeast, light citrus, touch of grain. Really, really nice. Super juicy, with some funky, yeast notes. Super solid.

Draft at Fair Winds. Poured a mostly clear yellow-orange color with a small white head. Aroma was pineapple, some light soapy zesty notes. Lemon candle. Flavor had some light resin. Pretty nice with a touch of crispness to it that was really nice.
