Bottle says enjoy by march 15. Somewhat sterile aroma. Lots of rolling co2 in that glass. Big head. Taste is at first like a weizenbock then its more like a heavier wheat ale. Yes, becomes medicinal after a while. Has a bit of an alky kick to it. Not bad overall for a good punching wheat ale. Good creamy palate. Yes, wasn’t nice at first but became more acceptable towards the finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of sweet wheat and some winter spice as well as clove. Flavor is similar with spice and sweet wheat throughout the beer.

Lemon, coriander, and mint nose. Cloudy golden, thick head, some lacing. Coriander and mint, light malt underneath. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Very mild DMS that is barely perceptible through the spiciness but becomes apparent upon warming.

For some reason, I was holding out hope that this would be more along the lines of a dunkelweizen - this is much more like a wit - thankfully, once I got past the expectations, I started to enjoy it - actually looks fantastic - hazy gold - lively pour - huge, rocky, lasting head - nose is aromatic, herbal, spicy/peppery, with notes of melon and orange peel - creamy texture - fairly frothy in the mouth - medium sweet pear and orange rind - light tanginess through the middle - becoming more dry , peppery, and spicy through the finish, with a little bit clove and a faint hint and other earthy phenolics - like a wit and Belgian ale hybrid - I actually kind of dig it, although it is a bit sweet.

Bottle, 2014/15. Bright golden yellow, topped with a large fluffy white head. Lots of bubbles. Big hefe aroma… cloves, wheat, and yeast. Spicy. Loads of wheat and spice come through in the taste, with the yeast bringing up the rear. There is a hint of lemon peel in there, but minimal. Pretty decent.

12oz bottle from Wegmans, West Seneca, NY. A hazy amber pour with a billowing bright white head; a typical Witbier aroma - citrus peel, yeast and a touch of coriander; rich creamy texture in the mouth with some banana and clove; and a citrus finish. Rather good.

16oz pour at Smoke and Barrel is a hazy yellow with some frothy, white head. Nose strikes a nice balance between estery hef with mild clove, coriander, straw and Euro pale ale, lemon, pine, grass. Flavor is the same, grassy, lightly herbal, mild spice, a little chewy malt, some orange. Clean, zesty finish. Very enjoyable.
