Brownish and slightly hazey. Nice haylike initial flavors. Very friendly. Some bitterness but much less than I expected for a brew of this style. Not over the top in personality and I appreciate that. Surprizingly good beer IMHO. Not much arom, just plain old good beer olfactory with out any negative attributes. Slight ale bitterness on the finish for a few moments.

Interesting banana aroma. Very wheaty taste like many good wheat beers. Has a little more bitterness than I care for in a wheat but the bitterness is not over the top. Nice hazy biege orange color and its cloudy. Good carbonation, which I like and appreciate in this style. Finish is well behaved but again, does have a mildbitter linger. Better than many wheat beers.

Very attractive color like cloudy pink champagne. Faint berry aroma and very nice on the olfactory. No head. The initial palate is a little perfumy and that carries over to the flavor. A little more bitter than I expected on the taste buds but it rapidly fades after each sip. Finish is well behaved after I got over that initial mild bitterness. A fruit beer with mild ale attributes, the fruit is not overwehlming on this one.

Hazy iced tea color. Aroma of dull pine and floral hops but it is barely perceivable. Very bitter taste as with any IIPA but the evolution of the flavors really makes it interesting. It starts off very floral or fruity on the buds and then BIG hop the slam comes along. A little more well behaved than many unruley IIPA. I really like the way the taste morphs on each sip. Bitter lingering finish that reminds me of chewing grapefruit rinds that are not quite ripe. On target for an IIPA.

Draft. Body is a coppery brown with a sweet aroma and a nice little bit of hops bitterness. Flavor is fairly bland, but nice enough. Unasserive, but good.

Draft. Dark brown body with a thin look to it and coffee aromas. Flavor is heavy with coffee, peat, smoke and charcoal. Although mouthfeel was a bit thin, I found this to be way better than normal Buck Snort.
