16 oz can courtesy of my cousin, Chris. The pour is a hazed yellow, with a ½ inch lasting white head. The aroma is grain, wheat, coriander, soft clove and a touch of citrus. The taste is orange citrus, the wheat, coriander, and a soft spice yeast. The palate is medium bodied, unfiltered, soft carbonation and the lingering yeast character. Solid Wit, thanks, Chris!

Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 16 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden straw color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, pear, red apple, coriander, cardamom, light peppercorn/clove, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange peel, pear, red apple, coriander, cardamom, light peppercorn/clove, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy bitterness, yeast spiciness, and wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, pear, red apple, coriander, cardamom, light peppercorn/clove, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a great witbier. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Perfectly balanced wit yeast, spices, and pale/wheat malts. A very enjoyable offering, and awesome style example.
