473ml can from the lcbo. Hazy yellow pour, tiny white head. Malted wheat aroma, with some grass, hay, and a slight tartness. Thin body, very low carb. Low bitterness, a very herbal finish. Strong notes of white pepper, and what incan only decribe as papery fennel. Wtf?
Wheaty, sweet, citrusy, orange peel

Railway City Brewing’s The Witty Traveller 4.2% 15 IBU Bought this due to the name then found out it won Best Belgian Wit in Canada in 2015. A cloudy gold with a good amount of foam and a rich peach, apricot, orange zest and coriander aroma. Medium bodied with a good flavor of crisp light malts, deft spicing and citrus zest. A really clean flavor. I’m happy I picked this up.

Can: Poured a light yellow color ale with a medium size white foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of light grainy wheat malt with strong lemony notes which is not that enticing. Taste is a mix of light unrefined grainy wheat malt with a strong dose of lemon notes. Body is light with medium carbonation. This one ended up the drain. I thought it was quite far from what I expect of the style.

Single can from the LCBO. Had actually 2 different label (one was a cheap sticker over the can and then, the better one with a wrap around). Pours a slight hazy, light golden colour with a fizzy white head and not much left within a small amount of time. Lots of yeast in the smell and taste. A little tart on the tongue because of this. The wheat is present, but on the mild side. Citrus and coriander as well reminding me of Belgian Ales, but watered-down and not as well-balanced. Still, decent overall.

This Witbier poured a cloudy medium yellow colour with a bright white, quick living head. Scents include orange citrus, yeast and hair salon. First sip was smooth and a little watery with flavours of orange, clove and ginger heat. Finish is very clove-y with a hint of ginger heat and orange zest.

Can from the LCBO. hazy pale yellow with small white head that is quickly gone. Nose is wheat, bananas and cloves with a touch of lemon but also some vegetable. Very light sweet start with bananas prominent and a soapy middle. Light spice shows up at the end. Mouth is quite thin with soft carbonation. Just OK.

A hazed blonde wit with a thin white head. In aroma, nice fruity malt with banana and cloves, OK. In mouth, a nice fruity banana malt with cloves, light buttery notes, refreshing.
