6.8
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 8

Appearance: cloudy orange color with a one and a half finger's worth of white foamy head with a mild dissipation with some messy lace
Aroma: sweet wheat with decent allocation of maple
Flavor: basically same as the aroma; mild maple aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, maple sweet finish
Overall: it's a maple wheat ale, nothing spectacular but nothing bad about it, perhaps again.

6.9
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7

Appearance: burnt orange cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head, dissipated to leave some mild messy lace
Aroma: coriander, orange zest, sweet wheat, some lemon underneath, clean malts
Flavor: semi-sweet with a touch of zestiness through the citrus tones, barely any aftertaste but what tried to present itself as an aftertaste seemed somewhat citrusy
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, semi-citrusy and subtle wheaty finish
Overall: not much of a true witbier, seemed more of an American pale wheat ale in the brewer's way.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Appearance: burnt yellow to orange color, two finger white foamy head, mildly dissipated to leave some messy sticky lace
Aroma: citrusy hops mesh with saison-like grainy to grassy tones, mild clean malts
Flavor: mildly sweet, some grassy fresh character, mild citrusy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, semi-dry and grassy to citrusy finish
Overall: odd for a saison but nothing bad or spectacular about this one, I think I could come back to this.

Pours a deep gold with reddish hues and a small quickly dissipating off white head. Rich bready toasty maltiness with a bit of earthy floral hops to counter. Quite tasty.

Deep gold color with just a touch of haze and a thin white head that slowly dissipates. Bready crackery malt offset with earth citrus. Pretty easy to drink for the abv.
