Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Trader Joeβs. Aroma is strong pine and citrus, lighter herbs and resin. Appearance is hazy straw-colored yellow with nice sparkle, 1/2 finger-width ephemeral white fizzy head with trace lacing. Taste is grains, pine and resin. Palate is dry light bodied with thin, foamy carbonated texture, a little bit spicy. Overall, a fair amount going on for a session ale. Maybe this would have scored higher as a wheaty session IPA than an IPA-like wheat beer. Decent.

This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a slight hazy burnt orange color with a slim fingerβs worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace.
The smell had the normal \"witbier\" aromas of Belgian/bready/yeastiness with a delicate florally sweet to slight herbal aroma underneath. Yes, the lemongrass is there - dry yet sweet with a nice balance all around.
The taste was mainly bready/Belgian sweet with a nice little spice underneath. Semi-wet to almost dry Belgian bready aftertaste leading into a slim crisp to wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable feel about it. Carbonation rides at a good pace, nothing really under nor over, just seems to hit right on par.
Overall, really good witbier, way to go Peak Organic!
