Dark yellow opaque, good white head. Strong clove ester. REAL smooth. Wheat flavor, esters, and hops are EXTREMELY well-balanced. A little dry in the finish, but a real pint-pounder. Brought a gallon of this home…the box sprang a leak, so I charged it up in a Cornelius keg....which also leaked.

Golden, low carbonation, OK head. Nice malty nose, some clover? Malty in flavor, somewhat bitter in finish. I'd either boost the body, or more likely cut the bitterness to get a better balance.

Deep amber, some haze, good head. Smells like Brach's orange candy slices! What kind of hops are these? Thick, caramel and brown malts. Hops are quick in the middle, finish is malty and sweet.
