On tap at Vynil, Manhattan, NY. Cloudy orange color, short sustained white head, came with an orange slice on the edge of the glass. Looks almost like a weizen... Aroma of witbier, wheat, spices and orange. Palate feels very astringent and dusty, hyper dry. Aroma however is very light. Taste is flat. Short spicy finish. Served very cold, ultra refreshing, not the best thing ever but for sure good for summer.
Bottled. Orange color, cloudy with a big creamy offwhite head, perfumed. As above, but the belgian yeast breaks through and feels a bit more alcoholic. Tart, but less dry, still dusty. Flattish taste with some undecise hops here and there.

From a 355ml bottle on 25/1/2015. Pours a cloudy pale golden with a medium white head which disappears quickly. Has a pleasant light spicy, wheaty nose with some doughy yeast in the mix. The flavour is refreshing with lots of orange, a hint of banana, and more light spices, including coriander. Has a fullish body and average carbonation. I have no doubt this gets punished a bit on here ratings wise simply because it made by Coors, but this is actually a rather good Belgian wit, which is a style not that many brewers manage to nail. Nice work.

Bottle from conglomerate faceless grocery emporium; hazy golden yellow pour, head is unacceptably massive, this craft brewer had squeezed in all the wit essentials, bravo to the clove, bow down to the banana chips, stale gum in abundance.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle with a Best Buy date of 02/16/15. Aroma has a subdued, slightly stale what character. Medium light citrus notes with some moderate coriander and faint grains of paradise phenolics. Hints of stone fruit esters. Pours a hazy orange with a small, thin head that quickly disappears. Minimal lacing and only faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a bit of a sweet finish. Some light what notes with moderate orange character. Orange tastes a bit artificial. Medium light coriander notes. Low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a perfectly fine and boring beer. A bit artificial in the flavor, but more drinkable than a lot of beers I have had from micros. Too sweet for me.
