Let me start by saying I'm generally not a big fan of wheat beers, but this blew me away. It's gorgeous.

It was near opaque with haze, and depending on subtle shifts in light, appeared either a brownish-yellow or a subdued orange, with a thick, creamy off-white head.

The aroma is powerful and amazing. Orange and a ton of banana, with a great sweet fresh-baked yeastiness, a nice soft spiciness and just a hint of bitterness.

The taste is smooth, with huge banana, orange peel, cloves...it's smooth and sweet. Everything is so well integrated, yet the flavour remains wonderfully complex. Doesn't quite live up to the aroma, though.

This is a beautifully smooth, easy-drinking beer. It's sweet, yet refreshing. I'll have to be careful with this one...the alcohol might be a bit high for constant drinking, but this could easily become a summer favourite.

A - Opaque orange body, white head
S - Full throtled Sweet orange and banana aroma.
T - What this beer lacks in elegance it makes up for with power. Screaming amounts of sweet orange sorbet, banana, baguette, fresh and zesty.
M - Smooth and vibrant, drop dead delicious. Alcohol integrated wonderfully. I woulda guessed 6 percent max.
D - This is a little sweet to get full markes on drinkability, but absolutely delicious!
