Mill St Belgian style Wit is a refreshing beer made with a unique blend of ingredients. The soft texture and pale colour comes from the use of wheat. Coriander, orange peel and our special yeast produce the complexity and depth of fruity flavours contained within the glass. This beer is unfiltered. The resulting cloudiness gave rise to the term Wit, or White beer

Draught at the brewpub
Unfortunately served with an orange wedge. Cloudy blond, with almost no head. Very light wheat aroma. Some wheat flavor, with very light residual sweetness, almost no spicy character, low bitterness, and a very light fruity touch (the orange?).

Bottle @ home, courtesy of pushkinwow. Thanks! Cloudy, golden orange appearance with a small white head. Coriander, orange citrusy, light lemon, fairly bready yeasty aroma. Tangy, orange peel, somewhat spicy, orange juicy flavor. Ok.

This wit poured a clear light yellow with a quickly disipating, bright white head. To the nose there are scents of weiners, spices, corn and light malt. First sip was highly carbonated with a slightly thin mouthfeel and flavours of spices, weiners and corn. Just like the scents. Finish is light bitter with corn and light hop flavours lingering.

Pours a rather radioactive-looking yellow with little head. There is some sediment on the bottom of the bottle but it pours pretty clear. Smells a bit of banana, tastes like a little coriander but it isn’t that well worked in - seems almost artificial. Not a huge fan. 330ml bottle.

I heard of this Toronto place, but I didn’t know they made their own beer down there. It pours with a decent cloudy yellow body and modest head, good carbonation. Aroma is sweet wit-ness and a faint hint of detergent. Flavour is a good mix of citrus notes and wheat, but unfortunately the palate is a little weak. It’s all right as a "new world" wit, but has a ways to go to be a serious contender.

Originally rated February 2008. Awesome, Mill Street’s white beer at the LCBO. I love wit beer, and Mill Street brews are always good. Pours a cloudy light golden-yellow colour with a big creamy white head that has great retention. The nose is big on the corriander side with notes of oranges. The mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with not much sticking, but great refreshment. The taste is pretty mild, with a smooth mix of hop, spices and fruits. Nothing really sticking out, appealing to the mass market. What I love about witbiers, is that they are great in wintertime, and in summertime too... and this brew is no exception. Still, I prefer my Unibroue Blanche de Chambly and Boréale Blanche.

Bottle courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a medium thin white head that burns away steadily. Thin rings of lace on the glass. Aroma of yeast, banana and coriander. Light body with a fruity character that has sweet spice and yeast notes, plus some malt. The finish is doughy malt and bananas. Decent Wit overall.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice thin white head and a million bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of corn, wheat, curacao, yeast and a lot of coriander seed - nice! Medium-bodied; Assertive carbonated feeling and a lot of lemon and citrus character up front fading to a slightly mild coriander seed taste ending with a good light wheat taste - very nice and complex. Aftertaste is mild, subdued, sweet and slightly tangy from the citrus. Overall, a very nice wit, definitely good for the style due to its complexity throughout the beer! I enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto or can get it at an LCBO! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from the LCBO in Toronto (Summerhill), Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 11-October-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 16-April-2010.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small white head and a hazed golden body. Aroma is tart with lemon, coriander and other spices. Taste follows through with the tart and lemony character of the aroma with perhaps a bit of pineapple. Tingly carbonation. Refreshing.

(bottle) clear yellow colour; aroma of malts with hint of citrus; clean, acidic light flavour; nothing repulsive but not much overall - simple, one dimensional
