Served on draft at the Virginia Craft Brewers Festival, Devils Backbone, 8/25/12. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of sweet malts, grainy malts, honey and herbal hops. The taste is grainy sweet malts, honey, citrus and an herbal finish. Medium bodied and refreshing. Nice beer.

Shirlington location. Slightly dark copper color, with a nice white head. The beer had a decent aroma, with a slightly fruity body. Flavor was well spiced.

Copper colour with a thin off-white head. No visible bubles/carbonation. Aroma of blueberries, yeast, coriander seed, curacao and wheat. Medium-bodied; Sweet initial flavour with coriander seed most prevalent. Aftertaste shows some sweetness, but mostly yeastie/witbier qualities. Overall, an actually good representation of the style-lacking only the complexities of a true belgie, but definately respectable from the Americans! I was really lucky to try this one! My sisters fiance provided me with a growler straight from the brewery at the Shirlington (Arlington), Virginia location from which I sampled it on 28-November-2003.
