11.2 oz bottle. Golden color with lots of chunks of sediment. Bright white head. Aroma has a sharp acidic component along with sweet malt and wheat. Flavor starts off with a lemon acidity then quickly turns sweet with malt and wheat. Very nice smooth flavor. The wife loves it too. I also get some light spice flavors and yeast. Very tasty and refreshing brew.

Clear amber color with tall creamy tan head that stayed to the end. Several large chunks of sediment floating around. Strong aroma of brown sugar, apples, a light smelling spice like cinnamon and yeast. Very smooth flavor. Incredibly drinkable for 9.5% ABV. Tastes much like its aroma. I taste brown sugar, some plums, apples, dates, and several layers of subtle spice. The finish is dry and neutral. Not too much sweetness nor tart or bitterness. No sense of the ABV at all.

Cloudy amber color with a great big fizzy tan head. Aromas are of cloves, nuts, sweet fruit and malt. Flavor is more of the same, with a touch of a white grape character to the fruit notes. Fairly syrupy mouthfeel, but very nice.

Bottle Courtesy Niels Jørn at Wintercoat. Fantastic Witt.Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Yellow colour. Powerfull hoppy aroma, almost not wit-like, but delicate understading every little aromatype. Fantatic complex flavor, not that powerfull but exstremely delicate. Oily palate. One of most interesting beers I have ever tasted.
