Who's been drinking this

Smells like a farmhouse ale but doesn't deliver. Nice aftertaste, though, and a very subtle hint of orange. Very clean-tasting.
Bottle at Home
Refreshing and light, lightly spiced, effervescent and subtly wine-like. I especially loved the finish, which shifted to wheat and then disappeared into smoothness. Best wit I've tried yet.
Known in my house as "owl beer," this white ale is everything Blue Moon aspires to. Crisp coriander and cardamom with a hint of lemon that doesn't evoke furniture polish.
