This time around we used some Unmalted Wheat, just the right touch of Kaffir Lime Leaf, and a really cool Belgian yeast. The result is a bit like a strong Bier de Garde / Saison-esque influenced beer coupled with some aromatic Bavarian Hefeweizen style phenolic banana esters, and a backnote hint of lime from the lime leaf.

[1] Review by philbertgodphry from Tupelo, MS, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/15/2009 10:03:01 PM)
"Pours a slightly opaque orangish color with a fizzy white head. It has a very strong citrus aroma with sweet malts and alcohol along with it. The taste is sweet malts and floral hops that aren't too bitter. A bit of alcohol warmth in the finish. Reminds me more of a barleywine. This was a very nice beer but I see no reason to save my other one until 2012."

[4] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/10/2006 3:58:46 PM)
"Poured a golden color, somewhat of a thin head that didn't last long. Aroma of grapes, apples, coriander, yeaste, and some alcohol, considering this thing was two years old. The flavor followed the aroma mostly. Mellow malts, balanced with a light yeasty bitterness, an underlying light sweetness, bready flavors, and alcohol that was noticeable but not "new" sharp. The mouthfeel was moderate with a leathery type feel."

"Beer poured golden color with little head or lacing. Aroma was apple fruitiness. Mouthfeel was super smooth. 2 years aging has served it well. The flavor was light fruitiness with cloves and other spices. Some caramel flavor came out as it warmed. Nicely done."
