Pale yellow with a large white head that left good lacing. Dry and musty with faint tangerine and lime. Medium finish and body.

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 10/15/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy pale golden straw color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, mint, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus, spices, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, mint, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, citrus peel bitterness; peppery yeast spiciness; and slight citrus/wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, mint, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus, spices, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly tangy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is an excellent witbier! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus, spices, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Was expected more citrus initially; but it is basically perfectly balanced between fruit, spices, Wit yeast, pale/wheat malts, and earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.

Yes, $2 for my can! As soon as I saw the name I was looking forward to trying this. Eye is bubbling lemonade. Mild interesting off-farmy heffy aroma. Taste at first is quite sharp, nears astringent but never quite gets there. Pretty good c02 in this one, crisp palate. If you don't focus on the bite at first, its not that noticeable but then each slugs fades into a near wheat ale experience. Overall, went down pretty nicely.

Sample at the brewpub. Hazy straw-gold color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to a film. Sticky strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with a wheaty character and flavors of lime, yeast and bready malt. The finish is wheaty and fruity with a tangerine and lime aftertaste. Decent overall.
