Overly yeasty with far too much baking spice character, and a bizarre fruit taste that ranges from tasting like a cough drop when cold, to cotton candy/bubblegum when warmer. Little else to be derived from this beer, aside from a slight floral scent. The mouthfeel is also lacking -- bubbly upon initial sip, then watery immediately after. Overall, very disappointing. Hardywood has been hit or miss recently.

Appearance - The beer was a dark pink color with a slight white head.
Smell - The nose shows wheat but a little sweet sourness.
Taste - The wheat makes the initial impression before an overpowering wave baseball card bubblegum flavor. The beer finishes with a medicinal taste akin to an adjunct lager.
Mouthfeel - At least the beer does not have the mouthfeel of baseball card bubblegum. The carbonation is a little low for a white ale, allowing the beer to stick to the mouth.
Overall - This is a dumper. I hate saying this about somebody's hard work, but I cannot endorse the beer.

Pretty unique in appearance. A pale pink color with with a 1 inch head. You might think it was raspberry lemonade. Initially I only got the wheat beer taste with a nice full mouthfeel. The dragon fruit comes through strongly at the end to nice effect (not that I really know what dragon fruit tastes like). Its a bummer this beer is only a one time thing. I would love to have it again next spring/summer.
