Bought this somewhere in Michigan. Obviously out of season, but I assume this is still ok. I suppose I’ll find out this winter when I get some fresh bottles this winter. Pours a nice golden color with a white head that’s gone before you know it. Aroma is light but deep, with citrus, wheat, and cloves. Great banana and citrus flavor, with a touch of spice and wheat backing. Slightly dry finish. I would say Bell’s is awesome, but you already knew that.

Golden with decent, white head / Light, wheat & citrus nose / Light to medium body, crisp, with good finish / Flavors of banana, wheat, orange, and clove / Admittedly out of season, but still elegant and balanced.

Poured a cloudly straw color with a huge parse white head. Aroma is of wheat and citrus. Taste is spicy with banana flavors on the end. Very carbonated. Decent beer but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Pours a very cloudy, bright yellow with a big puffy white head that dissipated gradually leaving little lacing. Smell is dominated by sweet aromas of wheat, lemons, oranges and bananas. Big spice aroma as well dominated by cloves and coriander. Taste is primarily the big sweet wheat up front with the fruits right behind. Lemony hops are also present. The mouthfeel is light and slick with heavy carbonation. This is a decent wit and very drinkable though not the most complex wit I’ve tasted.

Fairly simple, easy-drinking, likable, no obvious flaws. Lots of wheat, subtle spice and hops.
