From notes. Pours the standard orange with a frothy white head. Aroma was nice, notes of spice and citrus, with a touch of pine and grass. Grass come through stronger in the flavor, as does the lemon and citrus peel. Very light mouthfeel. Pretty crisp and refreshing. Another good session beer from BI.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours murky orange with a thick white head. Very nice aroma of of sweet orange peel, light corriander, and wheat. The flavor was nice with the orange peel being the prominent spice flavor. Medium body and well carbonated. Medium wheaty finish. Really not all that bad of a drink.

Pours light golden with a mostly receding foamy off-white head. Aroma of banana, spicy phenolics, orange peel. Taste is orange peel, banana, light malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, lightly creamy from the yeast with lush carbonation. Pretty nice witbier.

Looks like they brought back an old one. 4oz draft sample at the brewpub. Color is slightly cloudy straw gold. Aroma is spices and cloves. Taste is over spiced cloves and banana with that belgian yeast flavor. Rather typical belgian wheat, IMO, but the spices and clove were a little strong for me. Fine beer, nothing spectacular.

pint at BI - Aroma is yeasty with sharp spice and citrus as it warms. Pours cloudy brown-yellow with no head and decent lacing. Flavor matches aroma with a little banana. Palate is creamy and smooth with some tartness in the finish. Not bad and easy drinking.

Draft at Barley island. Hazy amber color with a moderate white head that diminished slowly and had fair lacing. Medium sour yeasty aroma. Medium body. Moderate sour citrus flavor with a smooth average finish. Refreshing brew.

This brew poured a large head of fine to medium sized off-white mostly lasting bubbles that left behind no lacing and a hazy light amber brown colored body behind. It had a malty wheat bread like aroma and a banana flavor with corriander and orange notes. Its mouthfeel was smooth. This brew goes down very easily and is a very good example of a typical witbier like flavor.

The head was large, off-white and it had fine sized bubbles.The body was clear and the hue was orange.This beer left only a fair amount of lacing on the sides of my glass.The nose was that of bananas and the flavor was that of oranges and bananas.The mouthfeel was smooth, thin and watery.
