sblair (37), SD, California, USA Aug 18, 2007 On tap Hamiltons. Unfiltered cloudy lemon yellow. RIch head and a very subtle tart and lightly spiced with a bit of lemon zest wheat finish emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA 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. mkobes (2103), paramus, New Jersey, USA Aug 10, 2007 On tap at HDG. Cloudy golden in color with a little white head. Fruity citrusy wheaty aroma. Coriander and yeasty notes. Fruity wheaty spicy flavor. Thin. Sour. Finish is sour. Not very good. Ok. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Aug 9, 2007 maybe my bottle was skunked or something but this beer was not good in my book. i’ll have to have another shot at it another time. so forgive the low score it’ll change. juiceisloose (634), Windermere, Florida, USA Aug 9, 2007 Poured a cloudy golden color with a thin white head with barely any lacing. The aroma was of wheat, citrus fruit, and some spice. The flavor was pretty similar, but the aftertaste was kind of blah. There just wasn’t much to it. It was light bodied and a little sweet on the finish. It wasn’t bad, but I would go to a different witbier instead fo this. awwshiz (76), USA Aug 8, 2007 This is a good Belgian beer with the usually suspects used to spice it up. If you like witbiers pick this one up next time you see it TheBeerBaron (218), Florida, USA Aug 7, 2007 Cloudy light gold color, active bubbles and a big white head make a good first impression. Orange aroma mixed with honey and a bannana wheat. Light palate that’s surprisingly sedate compared to the carbonation I saw on the pour. Definite honey flavor and highly bready taste. If there is hops mixed in, it is completely unnoticed, leading to a sweet finish. Not as spicy or complex as the true Belgium imports it aspires to emulate. For the price though, its not a bad choice. blklab2007 (932), Connecticut, USA Jul 25, 2007 bottle pours a light wheat color with not too much going for looks until you swirl the last of the yeast and dump it on. there we go a nice hazy color with a good looking layer of foam on the glass. the yeast really clouds it out and changes the smell as well. smell is wheat and spices, you can smell alcohol as well, some funky stringy looking floaters like fruit pulps in there too. taste is weak on the wheat, not too much spice and the alcohol is there in the taste as well which is odd for a 5.5% white. the carbination is what saves this and my interest, gives a nice mouth feel, and finishes pleasant and refreshing. somewhat dry but also refreshing, for a summer beer it is not too bad. that stringy floating stuff keeps my appearance rating low.
