Pours an opaque orange cream color with a thick white cap. Aroma is mild rhubarb and yeast. Flavor follows the disappointing nose. Feel is thin and no help. Overall a poor (IMHO) summer quencher. Hoping for better, would not recommend.

Unfortunately the idea is stronger than the execution here, but worth trying with this classic Minnesota summer ingredient. I love that it's not a lone or a flavorless wheat beer, this is much more ambitious, and I appreciate that. It works well on paper, but something about the tangy pink rhubarb and the powerful very warmly fermented Belgian yeast just isn't congruent. Like they are too similar, too much of a good thing maybe. Belgian spice and white wine tang abound, soapy yeasty feel is interesting, turbid and murky and dense but also alive and cool. The rhubarb flavor is pungent, and it's easy to see why so many folks balance it out with something sweet like strawberries or apples, it's almost astringent without that, and it's amplified hereby the yeast. Not a bad beer at all, still real summery and fun, but it's a it of a miss for me on the proportions. Good idea though, it has me thinking a Belgian strong might suit rhubarb better than a wit, but I sure appreciate the attempt here. A serious rhubarb lover might like it more than I did...

Pours a cloudy dark peach/tangerine color. Smells like Belgian yeasts, a little banana, spicy clove, and a bit of yeast rhubarb. Tastes light overall, with a grain taste predominate, light banana, and slightly tart fruitiness.
