First had on tap at their brewpub

Definitely not retired. Had on tap: 8/9/11. Poured a cloudy--almost opaque--straw-yellow with a delicate layer of white bubbles for a head; suspended yeast sediment noticeable. Very unique aroma, and the best way I could describe it was "freeze-dried soup" or Ramen noodles. I assume the yeast had a lot to do with this. I actually kept a little bit of this in a glass to the side so that I could copt a whiff every few minutes or so. Nice yeasty witbier profile in the taste, with notes of grain, mild citrus, and coriander. Light-medium mouthfeel, and quite drinkable...and tantalizingly waftable.

On tap at the Pumphouse, and sampled at the Boulder Strong Ale Festival. Poured an almost clear gold color with a slight effervesence. Aroma is coriander and other spices. The flavor is much like many other Belgian whites, but has more malt backing than many others I have tried. Very balanced and drinkable, and a strong ABV to go with it.
