| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 30, 2006 12 oz Bottle. Poured a light golden color w/a large foamy white head. Grassy aroma. Definite wheat/grain flavor w/some sweetness & spice, orange & cloves, & fresh dough flavor. Light easy drinking beer that has a little more flavor than many other samples of this style, a little more umph! Thick mouthfeel w/ a long finish. Sombeast (151), Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 12/20 | Nov 29, 2006 Sour, yeasty aroma and flavor Beautiful cloudy pale pale golden appearance with a nice head. I’m not picking up the spice level.. Full mouthfeel. Refreshing and drinkable but not my favorite example of this style. IrishBoy (2706), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 21, 2006 Bottle; Nose is yeasty and spicy. Lightly hazy gold with a good, glass-lacing white head; Flavor is spicy wheat that tingles your tongue, in the medium body, and the finish is tart. BillKismet (1914), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2006 Updated: Aug 21, 20071st rating (bottle) Sparkly yellow champagne appearance. Highly carbonated though the head evaporates quickly. Piquant yeasty aroma with a prickly pleasant mouthfeel, but flavor underdelivers. Light-medium bodied with prickly peripheral yeastiness and a mild sour finish.
2nd rating (tap). What a difference on tap makes! My final rating will be an average of both ratings as there was such a profound difference between tap and bottled versions. The tap version champagne white/blonde, with piquant coriander, zesty citrus, almost lemony, yeast springing into the nose. Piquant, smooth, and relatively light bodied, but flavorful and giving the impression of a higher ABV than you would expect. Perfect on the palate and an American Style Belgian Witt that would be hard to top in the states. bobaidan (359), Farmington, Connecticut, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 18, 2006 Pours cloudy white with a small white head that quickly dissapates. Aroma is mostly wheat with some corriander spice. Flavor is light, even for a witte, but pleasant. Corriander and some orange are present along with bread like wheat flavors. Finish is yeasty, but enjoyable. A good light drinking beer. pinkzambia (989), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 8, 2006 Bottle:Cloudy, dull yellow color. Whe it is being poured it actually looks white. There is a small fizzy white head. I hate the aroma on these witbiers - it smells like a bunch of egg farts got stuck in a rubber factory. You can definitely taste the coriander in the flavor but not the orange peel as much - maybe in the aftertaste??? I just don’t prefer this style. I feel like I walked into a tire store and started licking the tires. Still, it’s from a quality brewery, so it gets and extra point. Thanks Indiana_Red. IndianaRed (1555), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 8, 2006 Bottle pours a cloudy, white/very pale yellow. Small short lived white head but fine and remarkebly lasting lacing. That classic belgian wit aroma, funkt\y and spicy. Flavor is similar. That crazy Curacao orange peel gives it away. So obvious. Works well though. Thin light feel and lively carbonation. A decent example of a style I cant get into. Strykzone (1469), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 8, 2006 Color is unusually white and the aroma is thin. However, the flavor really jumps out. It is full of lemon, orange, and coriander. Delicious! The flavor doesn’t quite hold up as it warms but this is a great wit. It is crisp and clean and leaves you wanting more.
