one of the best Witte’s ive ever had, obviously a double white with that kind of abv, but extremely enjoyable, great color and aroma, poured into a tulip at the bar which i was impressed with. hid the abv very well and the taste was a nice mixture of typical spices and citrus zest. really liked this one and would make me go back just for it.

the little brother to the Fat Ass. not bad, but once you’ve had the fat ass, this just doesnt measure up. good aroma and flavor, a little light but enjoyable, great with a meal. pretty clear, not enough spices or citrus zest to it. fine, not rememberable.

really nice local IPA, this is the best IPA on the east coast because its not trying to be a "traditional" english ipa andhave way too much malt, and its not a west coast IPA with tons of hops, when it says a mix of english and american, it really means it and it came out really well done.

Cask (gravity dispense) at the GBBF 2008. ABV was said to be 6.5%. Deep golden colour, no head. Very nice aroma of distinctly fruity hops, notes of blackcurrants. Distinctly hoppy flavour with an assertive bitterness, notes of pine / resin and some grapefruit. Good beer, but I’d like even more fruitiness in the flavour.
