Spiced with orange peel & coriander, you’'ll find it refreshingly tart, with a wonderfully dry finish.

12oz can. Not really a classical Witbier, as it is sour. Still really nice and enjoyable. Orange peel and coriander still come through. Light and sessionable, but some sour complexities. Good.

750ml from the lcbo.
Cloudy oranger pour, huge, gushy, hard to pour white head. The aroma is pleasantly tart with some green, acidic hops and yeast notes.
The carb is a tad subdued to what i was expecting and the mouth feel is fibe. The finish is quite fruity, lots of orange, and lemon with some citrus zest from the green hops. The malted wheat really comes through in the finish. Medium to low bitterness, a superbly easy drinking beer. The tartness is very welcome to a normally boring style.

Bottle from Wine Reserve, Cobham. Aroma is vinous, tart. Fruity. Herbs. Clear amber. Foamy translucent white head soon almost entirely disappears. Medium-heavy sour. Vinous. Herbal. Fruity. (Repeating myself). Sherbet. The cloves I'd associate with the style are present but the barrel aging has obscured the other Wit elements. Dry. Crisp. Light bodied. Slick if thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Finish is Long, astringent, as well as the other facets I mentioned earlier. Sat listening to Light Bearer's emo crust and this beer just adds to the mood.

16 ounce can. Hazy yellow gold color. Small foamy white head. Earthy, yeasty wheat malt aroma. Flavor is soft, yeasty funk upfront. Lemon, apricot, orange zest and barely a wisp of coriander. Easy drinking and mildly carbonated. Farmhouse funk and white peppercorns in the distinctive finish.

Doesn't look nor taste much like a witbier. Clear medium gold color with no head. Aromas and flavors have suggestions of oak but virtually no Orange or coriander as it says on the label. Both flavors and aromas are tart yeasty With a hint sweet. OK body and finish follows taste. Kind of a disappointment. Would be good for cooking though.

16 oz. can sent for review. Pours a light, very hazy yellow under a big puffy head. Smell is kind of light, just a notes more of lemony citrus. I guessing the orange peel keeps it from getting too fruity. The taste starts out with a mild tartness, more than in most bigger witbiers. There's only a slight note of coriander, as the citrus stays predominent. Wheat malt does not take over. Tartness just gets more prominent the further I go. Then some of the oak aging becomes part of the taste the rest of the way down.

Tap at Sunset. Wheaty, bit creamy, light sourness, bit of citrus. Vinous and berries. Bit of yoghurt. Interesting.
