330ml bottle into tulip. Faint wheat/citrus nose. Cloudy pale amber beer with thin film on top. Medium carbonation. Zingy and watery in the mouth. Taste is lightly citric with some malt present. Finish is a little floral, touch of musk sticks perhaps. It’s just a bit too polite, needs a bit of body.

Bottle. Very slightly hazy yellow. White head that fades to a fair coat. Smells of lemon myrtle and maybe some other citrus. Very thin body. Rather cleaning fluidy taste. It’s pretty well made but the balance is way too much towards the lemon myrtle (at least for someone for whom it’s not an exotic ingredient). A disappointment after their wattle seed ale.

The lemon is there for sure, in the aroma and the flavor, but I would have liked a little more of it. Very smooth on the palate. Light wheat flavor, this comes too close to being a bad American-style wheat beer, but there is just enough flavor to keep it from going down that abysmal route. Refreshing, and for $.80, I can’t complain.

pours clear golden, white head. Aroma full lemon peek, some yeast and spicy coriander. Flavor, lemony, found it to be not overly bitter, with a nice lemon tartness. Spicy coriander comes across as peppery, more so than the lemon that is more subtle and adds a thin herbal palate.

Bottle from a local Grocery Outlet store. Pours hazy medium gold with a two finger frothy white head. Aroma is a very strange lemon. Medium body with lightly creamy carbonation. The flavor is almost lemon perfume - but with a weird aspect. "Lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is a citrus-fragranced spice that is native to coastal regions of Australia." That tells me a lot. I think this could grow on me, but it might take awhile. Unique!

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear yellow with a large frothy white head that leaves behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong lemon, coriander and citrus. Thin mouthfeel wtih a lemon zest taste with banana and citrus. Easy to drink, a decent wit from AIB.

Pours pale golden with a massive towering soap sud-like head. Good persistence.Aroma is white wine, lemon sherbet, coriander and the ever-present perfumy Lemon Myrtle. Further inspection reveals loads of lemon zest, and some light malt (perhaps wheat, not even sure if this is a real wit, label only says "contains malted barley.). Reminiscent of lemon-scented dish-washing liquid.Definate wheat flavour, very light otherwise. Short-lived finish is made of lemony tangyness and a practically invisible bitterness. Very weak tasting after a couple of sips, but still, quite refreshing.Too much carbonation.

Bottle. Pours slightly cloudy yellow with almost no head. The aroma is distinctly lemon with some of the characteristic witbier aroma. The palate is thin bodied with lively carbonation. The flavour is unusual and quite refreshing. It starts off very lemony developing some bitterness, but not a lot. To me it was a bit too sharply lemony and the flavours didn’t quite work together. However an unusual, refreshing and drinkable beer.
