Cloudy straw colored. Mild citrus and banana aroma. Very hoppy for a wheat, but not in a bad way. Refreshing, nice bitter finish.

Bottle. Nice color! VERY yellow. Has a lot of things that a belgian white should have, but i would have like some more depth or even some funk.

Bottled. Cloudy golden color, medium frothy head. Aroma of orange peel, citrus, bit vanilla, yeast, hint of banana, quit hoppy. Bitter taste, fresh, orange and citrus. I was expecting an over the top imperial white, but it turned out to be very nice actually!

Bottle: Poured a hazy light golden yellow color ale with a quite large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of wheat malt and light spices is overshadowed by some Cascade, Saaz and Amarillo hops. Taste is also very much dominated by citrus notes originating from the Cascade hops and a dry finish from the Saaz hops. Body si full with limited filtration and great carbonation. Interesting experiment that made me realize that I like my Wit without too much hops.

750 plastic corked bottle. $14.99 price tag. The aroma on the cork is pretty awesome, bigtime Saaz and wheat aromas, in your face. Smelling it from the glass I donβt really get the same thing. The appearance is pretty much all you can ask for, thick orange with a fluffy white head. Quite an interesting taste. Takes the the vanilla creamy flavors of the Wit adds a new school hop balance. Quite well done, this really is a fantastic Wit. The extra hops and alcohol give it much more depth. A classic.

Full bodied and dry palate with quite high carbonation. Malts, coriander, bitterness, frutiness, grapefruit and grass in taste. Bitterness and fruitiness in aftertaste.

750 ml "champagne" bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.6%. Hazy golden colour, big and lasting white head. Distinct but not overwhelming aroma of orange peel, coriander and fruity hops. The flavour comes through like a cross between a Belgian witbier and an American Pale Ale or IPA (which indeed this beer might be said to be). The American hops (Amarillo and Cascade) dominate, while the European ones (Goldings and Saaz) are harder to identify. Thereβs a grapefruity and slightly resiny and peppery bitterness, but the orange peel and coriander also come through. Alcohol is noticeable. A good beer, as expected from Mikkeller, but I still think witbiers and APAs / IPAs are decent enough styles in their own right (when brewed well), and Iβm not entirely convinced that the brewing world needs a new wave of "imperial witbiers". Props to Mikkel for doing the experiment, though.
