Bottle shared in London - cheers to Dave. Pours cloudy green with a foam, white-green head. The nose has some mint, lemon zest. Light-medium sweet flavour with a lot of zest character, lime peel. Meidum bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Reasonably clean finish, plenty of zest, a little cleanser, lemon, faint menthol. Good fun.

Thanks to Wingman. I think. Hazy sea green beer, small pale green colour head. Cracking! Palate is smooth and fairly dry, good fine carbonation. Soft malts, sweetish. Sweet generic fruits, pleasant mild spices and lemon. Some light seltzer on the back end. Highly amusing and quite drinkable.

Bottle thanks to Dave. It pours cloudy green with a medium foamy greenish head. The aroma is herbal, hay, doughy, tangy lime, sugary, bready, straw and spice. The taste is dry, tart, musty, funky, good mouth - pucker, grapefruit, pithy, zesty, doughy white bread, green banana and some spice with a dry finish. medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Nice tart edge to it. Quite good fun.

750mL bottle drunk at Row 34 on 9/29/17.
Moderately cloudy, oxidized bronze. Hint of green flecks in the large, but rapidly falling, white head.
I like Martin's suggestion of aloe in the nose, which is what it primarily smells like. A touch of perfume, soap and even a bit of honey-like base malt, thankfully, with low funk. Smells fine, honestly was shocked to see this listed as a witbier, but it's more or less just that simple. Light citrus, herbal characteristics and easygoing malts with no alcohol or flaw.
Soft and "chewy" texture shows good attenuation and engaging carbonation. Herbal-spice notes range from lime, to hickory skin to nutty coriander. Soft, vegetal, lightly honey-dotted finish with a moderate amount of acidity. Clean and drinkable.

Odd saison, fruity and in the vicinity of sourness, but with a bitter herbal undercurrent and not a whole lot going on texture-wise. Berry, orange, apple, grass, wheat, clove, and yeast all show up, yet none ever grow overly aggressive or impressive, instead leading to a semi-dry, semi-sour, semi-decent back end direly in need of more effervescence. Unique, but more for the way the lees turn your pint an odd puke green than for the taste. Pours a sickly greenish yellow with a thin white head and a teensy bit of lacing. Nose is yeast, apples, and grass. Texture's the weakest point, with a thin, watery feel sorely missing bubbles. Curious, but not enough to go back.
