This beer came a slightly foggy peach with some orange highlights and sadly no head at all.
Smells of orange rind and peaches with a little dry, homemade bread crust, fresh from the oven. Theres also a slight hint of alcohol that sneaks through, but over all, the smell is rather faint.
Tastes of light and fruity pineapples and nectarines thats based on the same fresh wheat bread from the smell. The wheat fades in the finish to a nice and dry citrus.
The mouthfeel was medium to heavy bodied with a mild thickening micro-carbonation.
I liked this one. Not that Ive had all that many wheat wines, but this one is my favorite so far.

Appearance: Served a light hazy apricot color creamy head, and notable lacing.
Smell: Cereal and tropical fruit esters. Dried peach with wheat aromas along with a hint of alcohol show through in the nose.
Taste: Easy wheat cereal flavor and a grainy raw sugar cane attribute meets a bit of yeast and pineapple rum.
Mouthfeel: Slick syrupy texture of a barley wine with a bit of gritty body to it. It has a palate painting lasting aftertaste.
Drinkability: I am not very familiar with this style of beer but really enjoyed this one and I plan to seek out more of the style.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!

Interesting name...considering I work on the corner of Old Eagle School Rd.
Appears a light orange with a 2 finger off white head. Tons of lacing is left around the glass. Head drops off after a few minutes.
Smell is of tropical fruit, citrus, and pineapple esters with a scent that reminds me of a trippel yeast but it's actually aged on Williamette hops and an English yeast.
Taste is of fruity and sweet with a bitter pineapple flavor.
Mouthfeel is sweet and sugary with the sweetness lingering along the palate.
