This So-Cal take on a traditional witbier honors Coronado’s main street, which is home to our brewpub and was once lined with orange trees. Bolstered by orange zest, coriander and orange blossom honey, it’s Belgium by way of Coronado. Expect a refreshing, light-bodied brew rife with citrus zing and a hint of earthy spice.

Pours very light and clear yellow with a white head. Light sweet orange, mild cleanser aroma, sweet malts, and some hopping. Orange in the flavor, it’s light though. Sweet citrus and malt, with not much in the way of hops. Sweet finish. A decent brew but not something I’d normally go for. (Draught at Dry Dock, Tokyo)

Golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of grainy malt, with spicy and floral notes. Sweet honey flavour with oranges, and a cardboard touch in the finish.

Bottle from South Bay Drug. Pours a hazy orange gold. Aroma of orange zest. Not quite medium body; carbonation is fritzy. Flavor is wheat combined with orange, spice, and arguably honey. It’s slightly sweet, but the citrus and spice tend to balance it. It’s rather strong in flavor. Definitely makes a statement. It was a bit messy at first, but with time the orange clarifies as the main tone.

Bottle from South Bay Drug. Pours gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is sort of citrus. Body is less than medium, and carbonation is moderate. Flavor is rather orange, along with something like pale malt. Citrus develops more strongly into the finish. It’s an ok beer, but not one I would go to great effort to obtain.

Bottle that I picked up from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon, consumed 19-09-09 Pours warm yellowy colour with white head. There is a spicy sweet citrus aroma. The taste is pleasant enough but its possibly too sweet. There is a touch of furry dryness and bitterness in the mouth and maybe a slight metallic edge, the coriander is also a tad overdone. Despite the criticisms I rather liked this, yes it was a tad crudely done, but it was refreshing tasty and slipped down well. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov13 3.2

First beer on a hot night. It did what I wanted to do, be light, refreshing and a good starter beer. Not really tart enough to be a great fruit beer, but great for pounding on hot summer days.

65cl bottle from GBBF 09. I wanted to like this. I liked the Idiot Patrik Ale from the same brewery, and I like Belgian Wits. But this has some rubber on the aroma. Some staleish malt in the mouth. Some rotten oranges throughout. Not a good wit. Yes, some orange in there. Not good though

Bottled 650 ml (BB 05/2009). Hazy yellow color, small white head. Cardboard, mould and light coriander in the aroma. Cardboardish, light orange fruityness. Light spices and alcohol in the aftertaste. Probably better when fresh.
