Hazy golden. Thin dirty white head. Splotchy patches of lace are left behind. Big bouquet of hops on the nose. Very fragrant. Minty. Garlicy. And yes, onion powder too. Flavor follows suit. Actually, a fairly weak body to support much of anything. Hop flavors are onion and garlic. Malts are missing altogether in the flavor profile. Quite weak with hop flavors that don't appeal to me. I liked Chameleon's witbier. Not this one though.

Clear gold color with lingering large white collar. Strong earthy hoppy aroma but the taste is a neutral beery taste.

Pours a clear medium yellow with moderate head.
Smell is surprisingly mild citrus hops.
Taste is a very watered down hop bitterness.
Thin and unsatisfying. Like flavored water.

It tasted like failed beer batch that was cut with water and then added hops aroma at the end of the process. So it is like bud lite with hops aroma added.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine #90 (July 2014):
Floral, Crackers, Herbal, Thin
Love the effort and uniqueness of this brew, while the bitterness is extremely low for a pale ale the hop flavor. Wet and a bit thin with a decent amount of crispness which lends a touch of graininess. This is a great learning brew to pick out hop flavor, as for actually drinking think of it has true hop water.

Maybe a bad bottle not sure. No head. The carbonation is Gone quickly. Cant drink anymore. Rancid. Must be infected.
