Initial tasting notes: 9/30/08 - Tastes more or less like I'd expect a wheat beer to taste but surely will improve with chilling and carbonation. Hopefully it will ready to drink on Friday.
Tasting notes: 10/12/08 - Tastes pretty good. The flavour has rounded out a bit, and it seems to have a bit more body than before. The wheat flavour comes through nicely.
10/27/08 - There's been a slightly "off" flavor in there from the start, but it hasn't increased over time. Tonight at the DOZE meeting one of the members correctly described it as "Band-Aidey". Several suggested it could be due to chloramines in our tap water, which would not necessarily volatilize in the boil.
