willblake (1944), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Aug 19, 2005 08.19.05 12oz bottle. The usual pale straw, totally clouded, and a thick white head that almost instantly fades leaving no lace. Aroma is a bit flat, mostly corriander and other savories, some lighter orange, tangerine. Flavor is sadly plain with only citrus and spice and not terribly interesting at that...bit too heavy on the spice, it gets oily and cloying with temp. Too bad, I realy liked it on the first sip.
EnSiFeRuM (327), Quebec, Canada Nov 20, 2008 Bouteille de 330 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur paille très voilée et un col de mousse modeste et durable. Au nez on découvre des arômes de blé, de levure fruitée, de clou de girofle, de coriandre et de cannelle. En bouche le corps est moyen-rond avec une effervescence faible-moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de blé, de coriandre, de levure, de clou de girofle et de cardamone. Les épices sont très bien balancée. weezfour (84), Oradell, New Jersey, USA Nov 1, 2008 Loved this beer. To be honest I am partial to this style, but I really couldn’t find anything I didn’t like about it. Pours light and hazy. elihapa (382), Hawaii, USA Oct 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours very light, probably yellow with orange tints. Flavor is of soft flowers, clove, vanilla and sugar. A strange beer indeed, given its subtlety and ambient sweetness. Finishes with more prominent wheat and spice notes, all the while maintaining sweet backbone. tarheels86 (149), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Oct 30, 2008 330 mL bottle. This was a disappointment after all of the hype. Pours an unfiltered, hazy, bright yellow with a thin, white head. Aroma is typical witbier: cloves, coriandor, orange peel, and lemon plus some yeasty notes. Taste has a kick of bananas like a good wheat beer. Still lots of spice. Refreshing with a lingering aftertaste of citrus and yeast. Palate is watery and thin. Overall a good witbier but by no means an excellent example.
