A swirling dynamo of flavor, with a steady calm of satisfaction at its heart, that's Whirlwind Witbier. Offering a tamed tempest of flavors both spicy and sublime, this softly fermented ale greets the nose and tingles the tongue. Imported Belgian yeast charges Whirlwind with an energy all its own. It is a refreshing interpretation of the classic, Belgian 'white beer' style.

Bottled. Poured yellow etc. Pretty standard for a wit but not quite as tart as one would expect for a wit.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy yellow gold color. Frothy white head. Tangy wheat malt aroma. Just a hint of citrus peel as well. Sweet citrus flavor upfront. Orange and grapefruit as advertised. Wheat malt and coriander in middle. Light dry finish.

Purchased at Wilbur's Liquors in Ft Collins as part of a mixed 6 Pack.
This pours from 12oz bottle(Best by Apr 30 08) a cloudy yellow with a small head of foam. Not much is left after a few minutes other than a ring around the edge of my glass and some lacing.
The smell is of yeast and citrus and wheat and clove and banana. It's not a bit shy on the nose. ;^)
The taste is big and citrusy up front with flavours of clove and some banana but it all works up front only..the flavours fall off quickly midway through and it finishes really watery. If at least some of the flavour lasted, I'd have liked it more. Pretty disappointing for me and I'll not revisit this brew.

Tap at Victory, Downington PA - 25/05/12. Pours a hazy straw yellow colour with a thin white head. Wheat, banana aroma and a touch of spice. Taste incorporates the nose allied to a little bready tones, yeast and some citrus notes. Refreshing whit on a hot day!

Bottle. Lemon, wheat malt, and clove aroma. Cloudy yellow with a small white head, chunky suspended sediment. Strong clove, lemon, and wheat flavor. Light body, lively carbonation. A little heavy on the spice flavor, which contributed a slightly bitter finish, but still a nice summer beer.

12 ounce bottle into pilsener glass, no bottle dating. Pours hazy golden straw color with a small fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Some light spotty lacing clings to the glass, with a fair amount of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, clove, pepper, wheat, bread, grass, earth, and yeast spices. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and decent strength. Taste of lemon, grass, pepper, tangy wheat, orange zest, earth, bread, clove, and yeast spiciness. Light spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, wheat, pepper, earth, and yeast spices on the finish for a short bit. Good amount of flavor, with nice balance and complexity. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a nice crisp and lightly creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden with only a minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is very nice witbier. Good amount of flavor and nice balance; and extremely easy to drink. Very pleasant and enjoyable.

Enjoying in Brooklyn. Pours a hazy golden colour with a small white cap. Nice aromas of grain, wittier yeast and spices. Medium-thick mouthfeel. Soapy taste that is good with all the notes found in the scent. A pretty refreshing witbier that is slightly above average.
