Most definitely, this first and foremost a wheat ale. You can taste the wheat from start to finish. A faint toasted note from the addition of flaked oats is present in the beer as well. This is a light bodied beer that finishes with a spicy layer in the end. The overall impression should be an easy-to-drink refreshing ale.

A golden beer, a head is medium and white. Aroma is strongly aromatic, I like it. Flowers, perfume, some lemon and coriander. Taste is strong flowers, some spices, hint of lemon and lemon zest. Quite light bodie, just as it should be. Not a traditional witbier but tasteful beer. Hugely aromatic with flowers.

Draught and bottles, occasionally, since debut, most recently on draught at Lord Hobo, 9/27/15.
Very light, luna moth-tinted golden beer with a large foamy white head that steadily fades to cover. Strong haziness.
Light citrus, spongecake, meyer lemon and a ton of wheat nuttiness in the nose is quite welcome as things are generally quite reserved, nothing jumps out and there are clean black pepper phenols on the finish with just a hint of bubblegum/clove and no cotton candy or flaws/alcohol.
Nutty, wheat-laden palate has lighter tangerine-like citrus notes, soft honey and a general sponge cake-like airiness to it. Hints of vanilla, black pepper and lemon juice linger on and the carbonation is tight, ample and adds to drinkability, which is very high. Very clean stuff, delicious and would happily drink it all day.

Bottle. A- Honey, citrus, subtle spice, slight mint, sweet. A- Egg yolk color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Spearmint, honey, citrus, wheat, spices, banana. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, refreshing finish. O- I bought this and then saw it had a year and a half of age on it and thought damn, well this isn’t good anymore probably. Boy o’ Boy was I WRONG. This was amazing. A lot of honey on the nose with the usual Wit beer components and then a big taste of mint both spearmint and wintergreen on the palate. A very easy to drink beer and I only wish the bottle was bigger.

750 ml corked & caged bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 4.8%. Pale yellow colour, slightly hazy. Moderate to low white head. Moderate aroma, notes of grain and dust, hints of citrus and spices. Soft mouthfeel. Citrussy and refreshing flavour, low bitterness. Nice enough to drink, but not great enough to live up to the high price in Norway. I’d rather have a Hoegaarden. Won’t buy again.
