Draught at Coda, 3/3/16.
Lightly to moderately hazy, burnished gold with a small but fairly well-retained white head atop.
Lots of honey from the malt in the nose, with white pepper, hints of bubble gum and low amounts of clove and citrus. While it’s identifiable as a Belgian wit, it has a good maltiness, both sweetness and graininess, not found in many examples. No alcohol or flaw with light coriander on the end.
Lovely malt sweetness with soft, dry, creamy wheat flavors and textures. Coriander and black pepper-like spiciness dry out the finish but not excessively so. Lightly fruity and exceedingly low on the clove and heavy breadiness that often ruins this style. As well, it’s very drinkable but not thin and overly watery.

Pours clear gold into a tumbler. No head. Sweet hay and caramel aromas. Dry with sweet yeast and corriander turning to a dry wheat finish.

Can at ORD Airport, Terminal 5 Chicago before boarding Scandinavian Airlines 946 to Stockholm/Arlanda. A bit hazy golden with a medium white head. Soft and easy to drink with light citrus, wheat and some coriander. The body was on the light side as was the bitterness.

Can from Foodshow in Shibuya. Drank straight from the can. Juicy fruit bubblegum notes with some light corriander and white pepper. Belgian yeast character. Medium body with some light bitter orange zest and lemon on the finish. Not overly sweet. Dry-ish finish.

can from Chicago. Regular ol’ Wit style beer. Goes down well, but simple in it’s complexity.

Draught @ Chigago airport. Rated on 19.08.2015. Aroma is fruity with apricot, tropical fruits and some yeasty notes. Flavour has apricot, yeasty notes and some hops. Also orange and some fruit candy. Mild mineral notes at the end of the glass. A bit floury palate. Quite refreshing after a long flight.

Revolution’s Bottom Up Wit (kind of odd naming with the raised fist!) pours a great looking cloudy straw gold with a picture perfect head of dense white foam that leaves generous lacing clinging to the sides of the weizen glass. The nose is wheat & spices with lots of cloves and hints of cinnamon/coriander. It has a very nice flavor profile featuring coriander, chewy wheat, a hint of orange peal and a generous handful of spicy cloves. The mouthfeel is silky smooth but has a crisp finish that has your mouth watering for more.

Tap at Revolution. Bright slightly hazed gold with a huge white head, that left sheets of lacing down the pint. Aroma is citrus, wheaty yeast with a faint coriander seed. The taste follows with citrus/ orange peel, a light herbal/grassy bitterness, light coriander seeds and a nice malted wheat base. The coriander seed is also subtle and subdued. The finish is clean and has a refreshing character. What I like most is the brewer used the spices lightly, nothing over powering. It was a nice brew that went down real easy while I chatted with friends. Classic example of the style.
