UnsofistaCat (214), Garden City, Michigan, USA Dec 16, 2005 Updated: Dec 22, 2005 Tap, south lyon hotel: I never understood whats so winter about it. No head except for a thin lacing. Cloudy wheat. Not much aroma. Lemon, a touch of mint.....maybe a trace of clove....its ok.
hombrepalo (545), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 1, 2008 Bottle. Why winter? Poured a cloudy lighter golden/orange with a moderate layer of white head. Bright aroma of wheat, orange and lemon zest, and peppery spices. Flavor picked up wheat upfront, with citrus and spices following. Medium-bodied and smooth on the palate... felt very good. Lemon, orange, and wheat on the finish. Very enjoyable!
thejoeshow (167), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Nov 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours an almost cream color. Very white and orange color. There is a minimal white head that has moderate lacing. Aroma is rather nice, lemon zest, wheat, and a touch of grass. Flavor is citrus, lemon zest, and a bit of bready yeast flavor. It starts out full but trails off towards the back of my palate. It almost seems "unfinished" or "hollow". On a side note, odd choice for a winter seasonal...but whatever. bbbrew (143), Washington DC, USA Nov 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. brite golden yellow pour with no head. orange nose. i like the blend of styles. good wit. brew4fun (137), West Virginia, USA Nov 30, 2008 Cloudy orange with short, fluffy white head dissipating rather quickly. Aroma of wheat, yeast, spice(?) and light lemon - nice. Flavor of lemon, clove, wheat and yeast. Medium body, noticeable bitterness with clean finish. Very refreshing. NobleSquirrel (758), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle at Kuma’s. I was surprised as this turned out to be a pretty bland wit, most likely do to the neutral american yeast. Pours typical wit golden orangeish. Very subtle nose with a touch of spice. Body is pretty robust, though the flavors aren’t all there to make this a classic wit. Decent and drinkable but misses the mark.
