On tap at Mad Mex. Pours cloudy pale golden with small white head. Some thin lacing, medium carbonation, and light wheat aroma. Taste is off wheat, some tart lemon, and a little coriander. A little below average.

Draught at the P.O.P.E. Hazy golden with a thin white head. Aroma is relatively spicy, with light banana, and a touch of yeast. Easy drinking with light wheat, some banana, sweet malts, too. Nothing amazing but easy and refreshing.

Some Philly case store: Pours a hazy orange pale, with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is spicy, with the requisite banana and spice notes. This witbier is a little on the bitter side and that is ultimately one of its key differentiating factors. A sour note here and there. The coriander is certainly there as one reviewer noted. Ultimately, this beer doesn’t really have a shortage of flavors. The question is if they are correctly balanced and I would probably say that they are not balanced perfectly. However, still an interesting and very swillable brew.

Reminds me of a Celis White. Amercanized Belgian wit. Lots of spice. A little overuse of coriander. Taste is spicy orange peel. Rated 8/6/08

Peircing sharp off orange or unique, not quite citrus, olfactory. Lots of gunk on the bottom of the bottle. Pour is big foggy wheat beer and its hazy pale. Half inch thick off white head. First taste is weird banana and spices, in an interesting way. Not much alky is apparent on the taste buds. Creamy carbonation fades rapidly. Chewey wheaty experience. Finish? well...typical mild hefe well mannered friendly forfront. More like a hefe than a wit; but either way pretty good.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very pale yellow color with an enormous foamy yellow-white head that lasts forever. The aroma was musty, earthy and had notes of cardboard, egg and citrus. The flavor was citric, tart and bitter with notes of musty vinegar. Citric finish. Very overcarbonated. A below average wit.

bottle, pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Aroma is light wheat and corriander. Flavor is sour and bitter orange with a light sweet malt to balance things out. Not impressed.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is wheat/grain, perfumy spice, musty. Has some farmhouse traits. Taste is cardboard/burnt toast dominates the herbal/tannins, wheat/grain, perfumy spice-pepper, musty. How am I getting tannins in a Belgian Wit? Aroma was OK/nice. The taste went downhill throughout. Didn’t get any yeast character either.
