Sep 2, 2007 Updated: Nov 21, 2009Almost looks like Victory’s Whirlwind under glass though the head settles quite quickly. It’s alright; spicy, citrus nose. Flavor backs that up; tart, lemony. Very lively carbonation, texture is lacking. Not my favorite style but a good representation.

hazy pale yellow, scant head, somebody farted in my glass, thankfully it’s mostly tastless except for a fart finish, too much sulfer

Aug 20, 2007 This is easily my most enjoyed domestic witbier and it’s nice to see it on lot’s of liquor store shelves and taps. It doesn’t have to be in a fancy corked bottle for me to rank it high, and no offense to those who feel the other way, but this ale stands on it’s own for what it is... a delicious, light wheat ale. Pungent with the banana aromas and goes down with a fruity finish. if you add a lemon or orange to this, you need to be fkn slapped in the head.

Aug 19, 2007 Vitamin pee yellow. White head, with light lacing. Not a bad wit, but I’m not a fan of the style. Trying to get a handle on the style so I can brew a batch and this wasnt too bad. Lemony. Doesnt stand up to Hoegarden

Aug 18, 2007 Lemon yellow, as advertised; light smell of coriander and banana, overall easy to drink and good if you like the banana-beer taste, although not a top shelf witbier in my opinion - a little watery and over-spiced.

Aug 16, 2007 Poured a pale pale hazy yellow. There wasn’t really any sediment in the bottom so I did the best I could. Thick white head. Mostly sour aroma, slight yeast. Not much citrus or spice. Kind of subdued. The flavor was a tad sour, bit of spice. One dimensional. The palate had zero carbonation. Not good. This kind of disappointed me.
