A "Belgian White" wheat beer, gently spiced with coriander and bitter orange peel. Light bodied with hints of orange and lemon. A great beer to have in hand as Spring arrives in Pittsburgh, which can take a while.

Very hazy bright orange, solid white head. Citrus, orange, even some spiciness here. Quite juicy up front then goes to soap and orange peel. Wheat body but only a little banana at the finish.

Crowler (courtesy of Weihenweizen). Coriander, lemon/orange, and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy pale yellow with large head. Sweet creamy orange-banana, light coriander, wheat malt, and very mildly bitter dry hay flavor. Nice body. Excellent - a full flavored, well balanced beer.

On tap at the Bocktown, such a great place! Smells like the lemon scented fruit erasers we used to get in art class! Hints of sourness and lemon grass are also in the aroma, very interesting. Gorgeous hazy wheat or wit appearance, the only thing missing is the muck on the bottom of the bottle, but this is a tap! Spicey mild initial flavor, very friendly, I really like the attitude of this brew. A great example of a wit and this is brewed right in my own back yard, forget about Europe! Gentleman mannerisms, very good tingly carbonation on the back of my throat but not excessive. Refreshingly good beer. That sour smell just keeps kicking on thru the session. I think I can now also detect some grassy of haylike smells in there to! Very enjoyable and fun complexities with an evolution of flavors. I better get a growler of this stuff. Finish is pleasant and easy to like. If you enjoy wit beer you better seek this out. Great overall tasting experience, I think I’ll have another!

Sampled on draft at the State College beer festival this beer poured a very pale yellow color that was cloudy and topped by a small white head that faded quickly. The aroma was sweet and lemony. The flavor was vaguely wheaty with a bitter lemon element and a sour tangy finish.
