bottle - Pours cloudy yellow with a very thin head. It has a citrus aroma led by oranges. This brew tastes sweet, but not overly so, and the orange peels are very noticeable. In my opinion theyโ€™re a bit overdone. Itโ€™s light and refreshing as a wit typically is and while enjoyable, could be better.

12 oz brown bottle. The pour is extremely unfiltered cloudy, so cloudy you canโ€™t see the particles floating around in there. There is sludge on the bottom of the bottle. Very nice spiced wheat aroma. Good initial wheat taste, more like a hefeweizen than a wit beer. More in-depth spicy flavors. Good clean tingly carbonation. A little stronger tham wit bier. No obtuse bitterness on the back of the throat, no hoppyness. Thin lacing. Pretty good wheat beer but not worth the $3.50 I spent for it at the Beer Store. Decent entry in the wheat beer arena. Finish is odd top of the palate attack that lasts for a few moments after the last swig. Overall, not as good as a real wit but better than a few american hefeweizens. Definitely not as mannered as a real Belgian wit. Better than sammy addams white but canโ€™t hold a candle east end wit or hogaarden.

Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow with a large white head and sticky lacing. Nose is a bit of citrus, cloves, yeast, and sweets. Taste begins with the hints of spice, most noticable is coriander with some cloves. Some citrus notes, lemon, and malts. Overall, a nice witbier.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat and spices. Flavour is smooth wheat and some slight spicyness. Clean but quite boring. Lacks something from what the Belgians have.

Ah the color of a lemon meringue pie..very pretty beer...yeasty and fresh citrus nose...very apparent coriander(if i diddnt know this spice was involved i would have just said apparent spice)...anyway its very easy to drink...nice little ending bite of citrus fruit rinds..not my favorite wheat, a bit un-balanced in the spice versus fruit ratio...but its good..and it actually starts to taste better as it gets warmer

Bottle; Nose is yeasty and spicy. Lightly hazy gold with a good, glass-lacing white head; Flavor is spicy wheat that tingles your tongue, in the medium body, and the finish is tart.

Bottle pours a cloudy, white/very pale yellow. Small short lived white head but fine and remarkebly lasting lacing. That classic belgian wit aroma, funkt\y and spicy. Flavor is similar. That crazy Curacao orange peel gives it away. So obvious. Works well though. Thin light feel and lively carbonation. A decent example of a style I cant get into.

Pleasing wit aroma, with mild clove and some orange peel, coriander seed also apparent. I like the look of this one, a very pale yellow, with a smallish head - but that pale cloudy color really defines witbier. Zesty flavor with lemon, coriander, and a metallic note that leads to a fairly hoppy finish. Lingering tartness that is surprisingly puckering. Somewhat of an airy texture, with no shortage of carbonation. Kinda nice.
