Commercial Description:
Brewed for Barons Brewing by AIB

Barons Lemon Myrtle Witbier is the real Australian version of Belgian-style white beer. Flavoured by native Australian Lemon Myrtle, this beer is a perfect balance of zesty lemon rind and ripe citrus fruit flavours. Being bottle-conditioned, this cloudy ale is lively on the palate yet surprisingly smooth.

Pours turbid deep gold with 2-finger fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. Nose is heavy lemon, some spice, florals. Tastes lemony, with some hop, spice, floral, and malt notes. Lively palate, but not very complex nor balanced for this style.

Soft yellow and fizzy head. Lemon citrus zest over a nice wheat base. Very good beer.

Strong lemon wheat character on nose (also slight wheat character). Light on Palate. Lemons a bit too tart - over top. Light on bitterness and body. Very refreshing drink. Not as good as Barons other good quality beers.

Native floral aroma. Generous head and pale golden colour. Distinct lemon and floral notes. Not overly flavoursome. Still, an interesting and refreshing beer.

...draft at Young and Jacksons. Weird, very weird, but innovative. Not sure why it is classified as a "witbier", but oh well. The flavor is pretty much lemon, with slight grassyness, and barely a hint of wheat malt. I didn’t really like the combination, but it wasn’t horrible. I will try it again to make sure, but I don’t think it was that great. Worth trying to expand your palate.
