This is how a beer from our backyard in Orange County should taste: refreshing, crisp and original. Orchard Wit is a tart wheat beer, brewed with orange zest and coriander, and aged in an oak foeder for several months. It’s designed to showcase the culture of our farmhouse-style brewery through maturation in oak and fermentation with several yeast strains, namely Bavarian Wit, Belgian Wit and French Saison yeast, and our house souring culture. It’s a combination that’s fresh with subtle complexity, balancing the classic, spiced and fruity characteristics of a Belgian-style wit with the soft - and wild - touch from oak.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow to copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: funky, oaky, tart, grassy hopped, lemon accents, coriander, herbal, floral, orange peel, slight earthy and sour notes
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a tart, funky earthy sour and over ripe fruity sweetness; finishes slightly vinous and floral with tart fruity sweetness
Texture: leans to medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it, light smoothness but also some tart to sour abrasiveness
Overall: so much going on that I do not think I got it all down for this review that I would need to come back to this just to see what might be different the next time I had this.

330 mL bottle, shared by Tim! Pours a hazy, yellow color, with a fleeting head. The nose is orange peel, lemon juice, light cloves, and sawdust. Sweet and sugary, with a bracing sour finish. Simple and tasty.

Thin off white head quickly left a spotty cover on an unclear, finely carbonated pale golden body. Citrus, funky, orange & yeast aroma. Medium bodied, ultra sharp on the tongue with a dry clean back. Bitter lemon, tangy, hay, yeast, vinous & faint woody tastes with a long sour finish.

Bottle, 0.375l. Aroma of cereals, grape skin, yeast, wine and barnyard. Pours cloudy dark golden color with totally diminishing off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet and sour grainy and citrusy, following is vinous, lactic, woody and funky, while mouthfeel is crisp and dry. Medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Paradise orchard...

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, wheat, and straw. The flavor is sweet with an acidic edge and notes of wood, lemons, straw, and wheat, leading to a dry finish.
