12oz bottle poured into a wheat glass. no visible freshness dating.

A- this one pours a slightly hazy pale yellow with a huge pillowy white head that lasts for a while and leaves behind a solid wall of lacing. cant ask for anything more from the style. this is perfection.

S- very strong odor for a wheat. lots of yeast. lots of spices like coriander and clove. lots of bubblegum. getting excited about this one.

T- this one is very sweet. full of coriander, clove, bubblegum, and of course wheat. the taste is like a typical wheat beer, but amplified. theres also a moderate level of hops at the end. nice.

M- medium to full bodied. a nice moderate level of carbonation.

D- excellent. i wish i could drink this all the time. a perfect beer for summer. check this one out while its still on the shelves and relatively fresh.

I ended up with a bottle of this after a weekend road trip with my buddies. A friend of mine commented that he was going to clear out his fridge and bring some beer along for our weekend away. This was still left in my cooler once I got home and I drank it about a week later. The first thing I want to comment on is that I noticed that there hasn't been any reviews made on this beer in over a year. When was it last brewed? I realized that I was drinking a beer that is at least a year old. (no "bottled on" date on the bottle). I don't think this is a beer that is supposed to age so it may affect in a negative way what I think about it.

The first sip was almost medicinal or acidic in it's taste. I didn't like it. As I drank it though, I got a pleasant wheat taste and some fruits underneath this. It wasn't anything special but certainly went down easy enough once I got going.
