Not a bad offering, just not my style. Pours out to a orange hazy color with a fair head of off white foam. Notes of citrus and orange are present, along with notes of wheat and grin. Not bad. Taste is a orchestra of confusion, with the palate being pulled in too many directions; malt, oranges, grain, hops, earthy notes. Similar to a pale wheat ale on cocaine; not quite sure how to taste, so it tries to taste like everything, all at once. Not good. Mouthfeel is fair, slighly bubbly and smooth. Drinkability is decent. Worth sampling, but FSB has far better offerings.

This was just what the doctor ordered on a cool spring afternoon.

A bright amber ale, very clear with noticable carbonation with a fizzy white head that fizzled out into a creamy crown after ten minutes or so. Nose is quite fruity, not overly citrusy though as one might guess. Taste is quite nice, the citrus and earthy honey flavors remind me of Bell's Oberon a little, but overtly so. Quite well balanced and light, easily sessionable. Mouthfeel is a little fizzy, but that's actually quite pleasing on the palate.

SlĂ inte!
