330 ml bottle into pint glass, bottled on 11/30/2016. Pours very hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lemon, orange, pear, apple, pepper, clove, banana, light bubblegum, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, pear, apple, pepper, clove, banana, light bubblegum, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness, yeast spiciness, and slight tart/tangy wheat on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, pear, apple, pepper, clove, banana, light bubblegum, wheat, biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is a great witbier! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV, and hits the style spot on without the use of spices. A very enjoyable offering.
