On tap at the brewery and on tap at home. After a couple non-stellar but still way better than most DDHs, Corridor are back on top with this one. Not as oaty or wheaty, fully true to style still, just hitting a nice balance. Super juicy hop tones, mellow mango orange juice tone. World Class all the way, phenomenal beer.

Tap at Corridor. Sort of an artificial tasting grapefruit Wit. A regular version without the additives would have been preferable for sure. Not that impressive but drinkable.

On tap at the brewery and in a growler at home. Filtered looking tan body, hints of green. Frothy white head. Medium bodied, classic stuff. Fresh and lovely, great balance. The hops aren't super pronounced, but do lend a limey modern feel. Great for the style.
