Tap at gingerman I was sick of ipas and picked this in a panic. Watery gold pour. Nose is citrus and herbal. Tastes herbal, lemon, grassy, floral, tea. Watery palate. Seems weird and all over the place.

Pours a hazy amber from a bottle. Spicy coriander and lemongrass aroma, similar flavor, not much going on here, kind of is what it says. Good beer.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Greg & Jane’s Epping, NH. Hazy yellow appearance with thin lasting head. Aroma is lemongrass, coriander, and wheat.

Wheat backbone with a sturdy amount of lemongrass and coriander seed leading to herbal pop that give it some lively character. Crisp and refreshing body. The lemongrass maybe a tad over-played but... all considered, decent.

This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a slight hazy burnt orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace.
The smell had the normal \"witbier\" aromas of Belgian/bready/yeastiness with a delicate florally sweet to slight herbal aroma underneath. Yes, the lemongrass is there - dry yet sweet with a nice balance all around.
The taste was mainly bready/Belgian sweet with a nice little spice underneath. Semi-wet to almost dry Belgian bready aftertaste leading into a slim crisp to wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable feel about it. Carbonation rides at a good pace, nothing really under nor over, just seems to hit right on par.
Overall, really good witbier, way to go Peak Organic!

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run, 3/3/16. Hazy golden amber, thin fizzy white head, fair retention. Aroma of wheat, spice, lemongrass, lime zest. The taste is lemongrass, lime, mango, spice, wheat. Medium bodied, low carbonation, mild lingering spice, a bit of umami. Solid.

Bottle pour into glass tumbler from Greg & Jane’s Beer and Wine. Aroma is biscuit malty base with strong lemon (real strong, like Pledge or natural bug spray). Appearance is slight haze, golden yellow with huge sparkle, finger-width creamy white head with fantastic retention and nice lacing. Taste is strongly lemon--a bit too much--too tart for my tastes and so strong that it almost approaches shandy level. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and dry finish. Overall, light and refreshing for spring/summer but they went too far on the lemongrass--no nuance here.
