A touch of sweet & bitter: orange, coriander, pepper & cumin along with a special yeast make this summer wheat ale crisp & refreshing!

Poured into a Speiglau Wheat Glass from a 22oz bomber
Inch head and cloudy golden yellow color
Aroma is spicy and floral very appealing
Taste is light and refreshing with spicy fruity notes coming through
Body is thin but that is to be expected I believe from this style
Great beer for summer

Poured on-tap at the Portsmouth Brewery and served in a pint glass. The beer pours a cloudy, unfiltered, pale yellow coloring with no head. The beer has an extremely clingy body, and it leaves traces all over the glass while you drink. There is a very fruity and spicy nose, with cloves and pepper throughout. Flavors of cloves and citrus sweetness, with a creamy body. The aftertaste is lightly spiced, with toasty qualities. An extremely smooth finish, with a mid-linger to the flavors.

On-tap at the brewpub.
A - Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, thick collar, thin cap.
S - Fruity, spicy, malty, citrus peel.
T - Lots of fruits and spices, orange peel, malts, sweetness.
M - Light to medium, good carbonation.
O - The fruity notes are nice along with the spices. I enjoyed this one and had another glass while I was there. Easy to drink and for 5%, perfect for the summer.
