Tap @ Freshcraft. Moderately cloudy, light golden orange appearance with a foamy white head. Spicy, zesty, coriander, orange peel, citrusy, moderately peppery aroma. Fairly spicy, yeasty flavor- kind of saison-like- lemon/orange citrusy, coriander, orange zest flavor. Mostly citrusy, but some pepper and coriander in the aftertaste. Pretty tasty, refreshing belgian wheat. Wish I was drinking it in the sun on a summer afternoon rather than a cold rainy day.

[after a glass or two, especially if I allow it to warm, this opens up quite a bit - seems more like a spicy, semi-sweet, lightly funky saison - I actually like it quite a bit more than my initial impression - definitely not a wit, but quite an interesting belgian ale]] Growler from Bristol - lively pour - hazy body - short-lived head - fairly sweet aroma, with some yeastiness, flowers, limes, peppery character, a bit of earthy/baasement qualities - fairly sweet at first, with some strong lime and other citrus character to it - dries out through the middle, bringing a fair amount of acidity - some crisp maltiness - not a very wit-ish yeast character - tastes a bit funky, actually - becomes rather dry, almost flinty toward the end, with quite a bit of peppery flavor - medium bitter in the finish - a different take on the style, but not a completely successful experiment.
