Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Pours a cloud-orange with no head and a white rim. Lacing is loose and oily. Smells are welcoming with flaky baked banana bread and raw sugar-cookie dough. Tastes are similar with more fruit, some heavy cream, pronounced caramel on the palate. Mouth-feel is a little stingy and wheaty. Medium carbonation/ body. Not bad. Different.
looks quite fruity with very fluffy lasting head... wheat aroma with fruits, not too strong... spicy flavor with minor hops in the finish... this is probably as good as a wheat ale can get but the style is limiting
Bottled. I love this beer and finally found it in Florida. Has a orange hazy look. Interesting mix of wheat and fruit that offset each other in a delicious way. Not bitter, sour, etc. at all.
