Tap at Blind Tiger - gold, fizzy body, with way too much clarity for the style - faint aroma of grain and yeastiness, with no real spice to speak of - kind of thin throughout - a dry grain/cereal flavor dominates (imagine shoving a handful of cracked wheat into your mouth), with some hints of lemon and yeast/bread flavors - lacks the spice and lively fruitiness one would expect - the rather high hop profile does not compliment the beer’s other qualities, and actually makes the beer taste soapy at times - lots of room for improvement here.

Tap at Blind Tiger, poured into a pint glass, shared by Notalush. Color is very pale with s small head. Smell is grainy and cereal like wit. Taste is on the lower end of the spectrum for spice. Actually, I detect something a bit corny, kind of uninteresting and blah. This was a first batch, I will look for this whenever a new batch comes out and see how it improves (I am certain it will). 7/3/7/3/13.
I tried the most recent batch and its better. Not corny or blah anymore, much more like a standard Wit but nothing separates it. Just dull. There is light coriander, muted lemon, and some light banana esters. 7/3/7/3/14
