The beer pours a slightly hazed metallic gold with a creamy white head that quickly recedes to a ring around the sides. Aroma is grassy malts, light tea, light spices, and very weak citrus. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very different from the aroma with notes of wheat, orange, and tea. There is almost no bitterness in the finish however. So, for me, no detectable hops in the aroma or flavour but I enjoyed the taste.

Pours a slight hazy, very light golden bright colour with a frothy, almost creamy white cap, decent stay and some foamy lacing. Big orange nose at first pour. Then, the spices, banana and other floral notes come out. The wheat comes out in the flavours with the bananas again. Not too sweet, not syrupy with mild hops dry finish. Fairly light mouthfeel. Really feels like a Witbier with a lightly hoppier finish. Still, pretty tame overall with all of the nice things added to this one. I am a big Earl Grey fan and the Bergamot does not come through enough. Still pretty good !
