(draft) Hazy light orange. Good long-lasting head. Aroma of apples and citrus and wheat. Flavor is light and fruity - a bit like a Belgian wheat. Just the slightest hint of alcohol burn at the finish....

(draft) No head at all, but somehow managed to have very good lacing. A hint of caramel in the flavor. A slightly lagerish finish but not too fizzy. Not bad at all....

dave (draft) The bartender didn't know if this was an American or German wheat, so I had a pint to find out. What it is is a very weak American wheat. Very little aroma or flavor. Since I don't like American wheats, this one was actually very tolerable.

(draft) Hazy yellow. Huge head. Aroma maybe a little woody, hard to describe. Flavor was mostly sweet molasses and caramel. The bitter sting at the finish I attributed to alcohol, and not hops. Decent, not quite good....

(bottle) Wow. I wasn't expecting a beer this special. The label says "Belgian Ale Brewed with Juniper Berries." There's not a whole lot that I can add to that description, but I owe it more. Very dark red, almost purple....

dave (bottle) Wow. I wasn't expecting a beer this special. The label says "Belgian Ale Brewed with Juniper Berries." There's not a whole lot that I can add to that description, but I owe it more. Very dark red, almost purple. Aroma of dark fruits and juniper and grapes. Indescribable flavor. Finish a little drying. Flat-out yummy. If there's a better beer on Earth, then I haven't had it. I want more right now and always.

(bottle) Hazy gold. Nice white head. Aroma of musty apples. Nice smooth flavor, typical for the style. The high ABV is hidden very well. Quite good....

(draft) Looks like grapefruit juice. Smells pretty good, kind of like a blend of Belgian and German wheat styles. Flavor was more of the same. Nothing wrong with this beer at all, but nothing really right about it either....

dave (draft) I was expecting more from this beer for some reason, but I should have known better. This is, after all, the brewery that touts their chocolate stout as "double" chocolate even though it's clearly the weakest of any that I've ever had. But enough ranting. A decent brown ale with a touch of something that I couldn't identify - there's not enough of whatever it is.

dave (bottle) Clear amber. Decent head that faded quickly. Malty aroma with just a hint of hops. The taste was actually pretty decent, though subdued. Malt and maybe some caramel in there, with a bit of that damn lagerish fizziness that I can't stand. No bitterness though. A decent beer, almost a good beer.
