Wit is a crisp and hazy Belgian-Style Wit. Wit is Weyerbacher’s thirst-quenching spring and early summer ale. The nose has a light spiciness from the coriander, orange peel, grains of paradise, and star anise. The palate reveals a mild, refreshing and effervescent wheat beer that finishes with just a hint of tartness.

A rather pale sickly yellow, with barely a haze, and an anemic white head. Odour is better, with fresh oranges , rose water and coriander. In mouth, way too lemony, with notes of juniper berries, like a gin, and menthol. Very thin, raspy mouthfeel, too dry.

2004 bottle. Garbage. Pours golden yellow/white-gold. Moderate white head. Sediment in the bottle. That’s about the extent of the good things. Let’s get something straight. I like bottle conditioned unfiltered beers, but that dosent mean that just because you dont filter your beer, it’s an excuse to do nothing else with it. This sucked, I’m sorry, I hate being opinionated in ratings, but Weyerbacher can do much better than this. A nutty chewiness, like chewing on a stalk of dried cilantro. Dry and nutty, with no sweetness, little to no esters, and only a faint yeast presence. Arg.

Cloudy light yellow body, thick, puffy off white head. Strong yeasty aroma with coriander, orange peel, and tangy wheat. Flavor is rather thin and quite yeasty with coriander and pepper leading to biscuity and somewhat tangy wheat malt, finishing with orange peel and more spice. Although watery this is refreshing and makes an easy pour.

One of my least favorite Weyerbacher beers. +++12 oz brown bottle. Very nice picture on the bottle - a shallow thing to notice, but I like the effort. I had looked forward to trying this beer for some time. The description on their website promised some liquid glory. It poured a very cloudy pale yellow. There was a small white head that quickly faded as did my hopes. But the aroma brought me back with strong notes of citrus, black pepper and spice. Then came the flavor. Tart. Sour. Dry to the point of crying out where is the sweetness, any sweetness?! There was a hint of lemon that grew as the beer warmed up, but even this could not save the brew. There was even a vaguely skunky nature to the aftertaste. As it warmed a dry spicy flavor began to creep in, but sadly is was a bad spicy flavor that only heightened my disappointment.

This is a pretty standard little witbier - nothing really stand out about it - it has everything you'd expect - the cloudy golden appearance, the spicy nose, the tangy, citrus flavor - there is a mild sweet/tart combonation at the end that leads into a crisp and refreshing, slightly spicy finish - quenching - on the whole it's enjoyable, but still run of the mill.

The beer is a hazy yellow with a very thin, fast-dissolving white head. Aroma not pleasant, but largely filled with corn. The taste is thin-bodied and resembling the aroma. I love belgian whites, and I do like Weyerbacher, but this one (just like Hop Infusion) is a HORRID representation of the beer. The aftertaste is like water mixed with wheat and corn. I don't know if there is a single good factor about this beer other than the fact it came from Weyerbacher. Definately try another white, this one isn't a good choice for the style.
