A classic and refreshing Belgian-style wheat beer spiced with coriander and orange peel. The Belgian-style ale is brewed with pilsner and wheat malts. Freshly ground coriander and Curacao orange peel, along with a special Wit yeast strain, contribute wonderful orange and citrus aromas and a crisp, yet silky, mouthfeel.

This brew's name is a reference to Grassroots organizations. Revolution Brewing became what it is today by working our way from the bottom up!

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen

Pours clear yellow with a small head. Aroma of spices, wheat, yeast and tartish fruits. Taste is fruity and yeasty with notes of lemon and citrus. Finish is sweetish and malty. Decent, quite fruity wit. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bottom Up Wit on 19 Aug 2015 at 15:29 - Score: 7. Original review text: Välilasku ennen San Diegoa. Hyvät sapuskat Tortas Fronterassa.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a mostly clear palecaramel gold with minimal head. Aroma of corriander and spice with some light citrus. Taste is light sweet. Follows aroma with the addition of some dark wheat and more citrus with a little clove. Light bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Very lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, good. Another great beer from revbrew.

short volatile aroma. fairly clear, some sediment from bottom of can. yes, witlike in some aspects but probably is more in line with a mild wheat ale. overall a fairly smooth beer experience. decent sizzle. dull finsih. went down easy.

Can. Pours a slightly hazy deep yellow with aromas of coriander, grass and honey. Flavor is pretty sugary for me, without quite enough of the spice and mild lemon to balance it out. Not bad, but not a homerun.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 10/5/2017. Pours moderately hazy pale golden/straw color with a 1 finger fairly dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Mild herbal bitterness, yeast spiciness, and wheat/tang tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and wheat tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious witbier. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful with a great body for the ABV. Perfect balance of pale/wheat malt, spice, and yeast character. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Can @ home, thanks to TheAlum. Pours a hazy, somewhat cloudy, yellow appearance with a bubbly, off white head. Fairly spicy yeasty, sweet wheat, light lemon/orange citrusy, coriander, straw aroma. Very refreshing, somewhat dry wheat, lemon, spicy yeasty flavor. Very easy to drink and a fine witbier. I would love to get blasted on this shit.
