Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a thick, but very fast-dying pure white head that starts off at about seven centimetres, but fades to just a single centimetre after a few seconds. Aroma of wheat, yeast, coriander seed, light lemon peels and a dash of curacao and some subtle sweetness. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong wheatie and yeast flavours dominate with a dry bite and some breadie notes with a light herbal quality as well and some perfumey tastes, but no real sweetness or depth - just the wheat and curacao show strong here. Aftertaste is balanced with some very deep yeast and bready notes and a softer, more clean orange and sugar bite near the end with some wheat tastes and a hint of nutmeg and coriander seed, but fairly easy-drinking. Overall, a nice enough white with some coriander seed and curacao along with more bready and yeast tastes than expected here. Nice to sample, but not a great white compared to others, especially from Belgium. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine Alexandria, Virginia on 04-September-2020 for US$3,95 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-July-2021.

16 oz. Aroma is lemony (blood orange?), wheat, coriander, biscuity. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste is lightly bittersweet, lightly tart and lightly savory with flavors of the aroma descriptors. Nice creamy mouthfeel, but it's a bit thin. Not really a new style as described on Tavour. It's not all that different than your average take on a witbier. I like the fact that they used blood orange, which makes it a bit unique, but it doesn't really stand out as being all that different to the orange peel usually used in traditional witbier. Overall, it's a pretty tasty beverage, though.
