Pure white coloured body with a light copper and golden glow and a thinnish pure white head. Aroma of coriander seed, curacao, a light bit of bubble gum and some subdued nutmeg scents - pretty light throughout. Light-bodied; Strong wheatie and yeastie flavours dominate with some light fresh coriander seed notes, a dose of bubble gum and the light spice notes that really show the nutmeg flavours and a hint of cardamom. Aftertaste shows the grain and wheatie, dry flavours, but the very mild coriander seed and light belgian yeast strain flavours persist in a very nice and dry way. Overall, a pretty nice wit, with some light spice notes, but a touch of sweetness coupled with a dry and very refreshing wheat and yeast profile make this very nice throughout. I was surprised on how respectable this was for the style! I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Trader Joe's (of course) in Falls Church (Bailey's Crossroads), Virginia on 17-September-2017 for US$1,17 sampled in my hotel room here in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 17-April-2019.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Trader Joes. Hazy, near murky orange, thin fizzy head that quickly fades. Aroma of wheat, orange, spice. The taste is wheat, heavy spice, citrus finish. Thin, high carbonation. Meh.

Not a bad wheat, could use some body, and some more complex flavour, but it's all around pretty solid for a wheat. Berkeley bottle. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours light gold with a white head. Light spice aroma. Med body or nearly. Flavor starts strongly banana for me. The spice seems to be clove. Witbier? Hefeweizen? I dunno. It's much tastier than expected. I like banana and clove.
