12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/29/2018. Pours moderately hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with solid retention, and reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of lightly tart lemon, lime, orange peel, pear, red apple, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/peels, and pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart lemon, lime, orange peel, pear, red apple, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/grassy/citrus peel bitterness, yeast spiciness; and slight wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange peel, pear, red apple, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness, complexity, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/peels, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing druyness from bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery finish. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a pretty good fruited witbier. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/peels, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. They missed the mark on this one, just tastes like a regular witbier. No big orange juicy notes that I expected; but it was nicely enjoyable, and well made for the base style.

Bottle from Malt & Mold. Faintly cloudy rich yellow with foamy white head, honey aroma with a hint of citrus, high carbonation, sweetish citrusy taste with pineapple flavor, smooth body, longish finish. It really reminds one of mimosa.
