On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of lacto, citrusy notes, and light sugar. Flavour is very sweet - way too sweet for the style - with plenty of yogurty notes, some citrus, and sugar. Yogurty, sugary and citric, not authentic at all. Very poor. Embarrassing that this could be put out and called a Berliner.

750ml shared with Farees @ Ryan's. Appearance: a bit hazy straw with a white head. Aroma: funky, lots of bugs, malty, a bit cictrusy, some weird dirty notes. Taste: along the same lines, crispy. Overall: ok.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Clear blonde gold with small white head. Funky aroma, taste is mild citrus, multigrain, feint funk, a slight weird cheese note underneath. Average.

473 ml can. Pours gold with light head. Aromas of cardamom, lemon, ginger, and sharp wheat malts. Flavors follow same with lemon and ginger predominating. Good when really cold and tasty for the ABV.

Hazy, thin head. Bretty nose, bright peachy, brett c character, leading to a kiss of malt sweetness and a touch of hop in the finish. Hey, this is good.

Dull straw, only a bit of haze. No head. So it looks nothing like a witbier. Aroma is mostly ginger, which is what happens when you put ginger in a beer. Kind of lifeless, heavy plodding malts, ginger and maybe the orange gets through a bit, but this overall lacks brightness.
