(On tap at the brewpub, Mar 18 2014) Pours a deep burnt orange colour, lightly hazy with a loose bubbly white head. Aroma is dominated by sweet, sugary blood orange flesh/rind, also some spices (coriander/clove/ginger?), a little bit more malt than a standard wit and limited esters. Flavour again dominated by sweet orange pulp and rind at first along with a little malt, but a bit drier from the middle on with some spice notes, slight grain, orange becomes a little more bitter and rind-like as well. Finish is fairly dry, slightly bitter, detectable alcohol but with a clean sweet fruity core lingering as well. Body medium, carb very effervescent, booze not completely hidden. Didn’t have last years, but compared to some reviews maybe this year’s is a bit fruitier? Intersting wit, surprisingly good, but a bit too much fruit to want more than one at a time. Would be great on a sunny early spring day outside.

This beer brings me over my general dislike of the style. There’s a lot to appreciate here. Smells of coriander and light citrus. Very well-balanced. Pours golden with ok head and decent lacing. Almost in the realm of triple in overall feel. Finishes perfumy sweet and well-done. Nice soft carbonation. On tap at brewpub.

A hazed golden wit with a thin off white head. In aroma, a sweet orange pulp mixed with banana esters, cloves, woody notes. In mouth, a sweet banana and orange, with root extract phenolics, and loads of alcohol.
