Commercial Description:
This 500 year old Belgian style wheat beer became nearly extinct until the late 1970’s when Pierre Celis revived a languishing brewery in Hoegaarden and began brewing Witbier again. Ours is a true Wit, brewed with 50% un-malted wheat then delicately spiced at the end of the boil with dried Curacao Bitter Orange Peel, Sweet Orange Peel and Coriander. A slight lactic sourness is induced in secondary fermentation to balance the Wit’s creaminess and make it a tart, smooth, quenching summer brew.

Clear, lemon yellow body and a pillowy white head. Floral, lime coriander in the aroma with a hint of orange peel and light clove-like phenols. Phenols come through more prominently in the flavor and become a touch too plastic. Dry with moderate bitterness, but the impression is more orange peel than hops. A solid wit and refreshing summer beer.

Draft. Medium straw yellow pour, very cloudy. Nice wheat malty aroma with corriander and citrus, including a light lemon hint. Decent body for style, but I found the corriander spice just a little too overbalanced. Nice orange notes in the flavor as well tho.

This is a very good witbier. The classic tastes of wheat, orange peel, corinader, and sourness from lactobacillus make this a joy to drink. Very good summer beer, ultra-refreshing. Highly recommended.

Light golden with thin white head. Very citrusy, tons of orange peel. Lively mouthfeel. The yeasty flavours are overwhelmed by the spices, not very well balanced. Still refreshing and easily drinkable.

6/22/05 rerate. Draft, half pint. Hazy golden raisin hue with a frothy, white head. Sweet orange, corriander, peaches, lemons (light), and pears (light). Moderately sweet, lightly acidic flavor becomes a lightly sweet, moderately acidic (tart) finish. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: quite an enjoyable wit with a good balance of sweet/tart. Orange and curacao aromas over typical wheat beer scents. A little watery, but a nice sweetness throughout. Good spices.

Hazy beer with white light head. Good citrus spicy aroma along with some creamy balanced wheat. The flavor is full of clove & phenol with spices. Finishes citrusy & spicy like a Christmas beer but light and refreshing like a summer beer. Good!

Big creamy white head with an appropriately cloudy and pale yellow body. Nose is faint hint of coriander there. The taste is a bit sour up front, crisp wheat, light coriander, tastes more like lemon peel than orange peel though. Estery.
