Not your traditional wheat beer. Tastes like made with belgian yeast. Almost a mixe between a saison and a Berliner Weiss. Tart on the finish.

This beer is probably better off the tap than the bottle I had. It poured a hazy yellow with no head and no lace. The scent had some bread like qualities. The taste is lemon and bread. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with so so carbonation. Overall its ok.

Cloudy light yellow/gold color with a small, but quickly disappearing head. Coriander, clove and a strong yeast presence lead the aromas. Also detect some citrus. Taste is similar to the smell. Coriander, citrus, clove and yeasty flavors. Drying, slightly bitter finish. Thin to medium mouthfeel with an almost perfect amount of carbonation. Not my usual choice of beers, but sometimes I need to step out of my comfort zone (aka, IPA's, Stouts). Another nice beer from the new guys in town. Worth a try.

First off, have to say it's another kick ass label from Hailstorm. They're one of the few breweries that I have visited, and I love picking their stuff up from time to time. This one struck me as very saisonish. Golden yellow with some cloudiness and not much head, tartly flavored, very refreshing.
