Bottle. Clear amber, thin fizzy off-white head, decent retention. Aroma of tropical fruits, wheat, spice. The taste is wheat, spice, apples, citrus toasted malt. Thin bodied, low carbonation.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with an enormous foamy yellow-white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was strong lemon - tart and spritzy and resembling a cleaning product. The flavor was tart lemon, chalk and a touch of must. Medium length finish of tart lemon and chalk and turning dry at the end. Exceptionally overcarbonated. Ok.

Bottle @ hotel room, Ithaca. Gusher. Hazy, golden orange appearance with a big, off-white head. Sweet orange peel, coriander, sweet citrusy, wheat malty aroma. Fairly sweet, well carbonated, orange citrusy, sweet wheat malty, coriander flavor. Not all that bad.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of light spice and orange. Near medium body. Flavor is pretty much orange zest with a bit of spice. With time I think the spice does turn out to be coriander. Finishes dry, and, might I add, zesty.

12oz Bottle. Pours with thick white head that fades rather quickly. The color is a light yellow that is almost clear. There was noticeable floating sediment in my glass. Aroma of coriander, yeast, florals and orange peel. Taste is crisp; that mirrors the aroma. It had a almost light vanilla aftertaste. Nothing real exciting but a good beer. Depending what you have to choose from at a given retailer, this still maybe a good choice.

Location: Sampled at the NY Brewfest on Governor's Island, 6/19/10
Aroma: Nose of spice and yeast
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden color
Flavor: Taste is spice and wheaty notes as well
Palate: The body is light, its a touch thin, and decently drinkable
Overall Impression: Overall this is a pretty standardish attempt at a Wit. Drinkable, quaffable, and ultimately pretty forgettable. The word "average" seems to dominate my notes.

12 oz bottle graciously given to me by Dansting. Pour is hazed whitish golden. Frothy 2 inch white head falls fast. Quite a bit of carbonation. Aroma of sweet honey floral, orange citrus and wheatiness. Taste is the nose, with the honey sweetness taking on an almost vanilla taste in the finish. Also picks up a creamy egg taste. Peppery clove comes out when it warms. Palate is medium, coats mouth nicely, though the sweetness detracted a bit from overall drinkability. The sweetness really starts to cloy as this warms. Weird wit, actually. Thanks for giving me this one Dan.

Horrendous, this is just a horrible way to make beer. Why the hell would you do this to a Wit? Bought a fresh bottle and I was surprised how a beer that is not infected or old can be made so bad. There is nothing "Wit" about it. The nasty ass yeast dominates and is so awkward when accompanied by the traditional wit spices. I mean the person who thought this was a good idea should be shot. And I just noticed this is 7.1%, wtf, why for gods sake, why would anyone think this hybrid is a good idea, or good enough to bottle anyway? I have been turned off by some Middle Ages hybrid brews but this is incredible stupid of them. Just imagine, I want a nice summer Wit and I get a disgusting bottle of crap. The whole thing is just wrong.
