12oz bottle (4% abv) picked up at Harmons
Pours slightly cloudy light golden with a small white head that dissipates quickly to a small ring, light lacing. Aroma of ruby grapefruit. Flavor of grapefruit, sweet malts and lemon zest
Couldn’t finish the glass, footbalmed.

Cloudy yellow pour with a small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Grapefruit nose. Flat mouthfeel. Smooth and clean fruity citrus taste. Very refreshing. Not overly fruity or sweet.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 1/27/2017. Pours hazy pale golden/straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big ruby red grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of citrus juice/peels, spices, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big ruby red grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness, yeast spice, and tangy fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of ruby red grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of citrus juice/peels, spices, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from tart/spiciness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/grainy, lightly acidic, and slightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a very solid fruit beer. All around good robustness and balance of citrus juice/peels, spices, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. Barely any Wit yeast presence, but the coriander presence was solid. Tasted more like a shandy than the witbier that was advertised, but not bad at all. Nicely enjoyable and tasty.
