Commercial Description:
Berghoff Solstice Wit, named for the golden light of the longest day of the year, is a refined, Bavarian-style thirst-quencher. Made with the finest red wheat, 2-row malted barley, and the most sought-after American hops, this is a light, refreshing brew with subtle hints of Curacao orange and coriander. This was the first beer to feature the new Berghoff label design.

Bottle. Pale, clear golden body with a short, fully diminishing head. Sweet aroma with notes of orange, grain (wheat), grass and coriander. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a moderately sweet finish that is lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Slight soapy taste. Medium body with a watery texture that turns syrupy. Moderate carbonation. Average at best. Would have a hard time drinking more than one of this sweet orange sticky concoction.

12oz bottle. Cloudy yellow-tan color. Minimal aroma, minimal taste. This is a pretty poor example of a Wit. Crisp mouthfeel, but very weak watery body with a sub par grain backbone. Straightforward and non-offensive at best, a disappointment.

Very light pour with a light orange wheat aroma. Flavor is low but not bad. Just a little too much CO2 in this guy. Decent blend but just a bit of lack on the flavor.

Two six packs for $5? Sure, why the hell not...Pours a golden color with a fizzy head. Head dissipated before I even finished pouring. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is of citrus, spice, and straw. Taste was very bready, with hops, citrus fruit, and spice. Not overly amazing, but not offensive in anyway. Would drink it again if there was no alternative.

One of the worst drainpours I’ve ever experienced. Fizzy pour of a liquid that is reminiscent of urine. Fake Tang-like orange aroma. Watery, fake orange flavor. Almost like a alka-seltzer.

Bottle from D&J Liquor in St. Louis, MO. Hazy golden color with a very slight white head. Seems to have a light citrus aroma. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is lightly spiced citrus with some grain. It’s ok. Milder than Belgian wits.

The beer pours with a cloudy yet quickly disappearing head. Not much aroma offered by the beer. Taste is light with a hint of orange. For the price, it works.

Kind of ordered this on accident. Never been a big witbier fan and this was a pretty weak example. At least it was good enough to know what it was, but that was pretty watery. It just tasted very artificial, like it was flavored with a powder that had to be stirred in.
