apshah99 (137), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 26, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy yellow with white head.Aroma of yeast and spice/coriander. Crisp orange bready taste with a pepper and honey, lots of carbonation but a little thin on the palate. FlyingSwine (169), Littleton, Colorado, USA Apr 23, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber, with little head. Seriously, I’ve never seen a beer that looked more like urine in my life. Light aroma, but of the traditional Wit style (coriander and orange citrus) and wheat. Flavor is the same, but a bit more prounounced. Seems like a bit of black pepper too, but I can’t find it with every sip. Palate is a bit too fizzy for my tastes, but admittedly smooths out as the temperature of the beer rises. Overall an okay Wit. FlagstoneHill (211), Erie, Colorado, USA Apr 22, 2008 Pale straw, hazy (with yeast poured in), fluffy white head, 4

Great Wit beer. citrus and spice hit the mark, very refreshihng. 18 maltdog (509), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Apr 19, 2008 Pours a sunny yellow, hazy and vigorously carbed, with a lasting white head and a stunning display of gravity-defying lace. An orgy of fruit dominates the nose- orange, apricot, honeydew, watermelon, strawberry- with floral notes (jasmine, gardenia) and a warm, cumin-y toastiness. NO banana! Flavor is dry and bready, hinting at honey and sunflower seeds, subtle spice and even subtler minerally phenols. Finshes with mild lemonlike acidity and an impression of lightly roasted coffee beans. Strange but not off-putting vegetal aftertaste... cauliflower? Bright acidity and brisk carbonation rescues the otherwise thinnish, insubstantial mouthfeel. Overall, thankfully far less candylike than Blue Moon, and far more interesting/not sour than some less-popular Belgian renditions. All elements are subtle, appropriate and superbly balanced... maybe the finest commercial example of the style I’ve sampled to date. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA Apr 18, 2008 I thought this was quite enjoyable. Really tame and light with some floral and citrusy characteristics. Bready, with your clove and banana, with just a hint of bubblegum and this may sound strange, but a hint of mustard seed. This would be a great cheese pairing beer. afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 8, 2008 bottle given to me by BeerGestapo. let me first say that this is probably the coolest art I have ever seen on a bottle of beer. it reminds me of the old DC/Vertigo comic "The Sandman".
pours a well carbonated lemon peel yellow with a super bright white head. lots of banana in the nose as well as some citrus and clove. bready flavor with some banana. very smooth palate. not bad. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Apr 6, 2008 Bottle from Cellars Lex-Larp (St. Paul). Fresh Belgian wheat aroma with banana esters. If every a beer was "white" this beer is white. Cloudy with lots of visible carbonation and a thin, white head. Maybe a little drier than I would have preferred. But otherwise a very good representation of the style. Not an exciting brew, but perhaps somewhat under appreciated. BeerZack (116), Austin, Texas, USA Apr 5, 2008 Slightly cloudy golden pee-pee color with small ring of foam, does leave some lace.
Yeast, banana, citrus, baked beans...
Soft, yeasty wheat with banana, hint of spice (very mild clove). Pretty light and easy to drink. Bit of citrus and definitely doesn’t overdo the spice. Moderate medium taste for the style.
