Light amber color; Slightly creamy light body; Aroma of wheat and citrus; Flavor of wheat, citrus - notably orange, and a hint of banana; Nothing complex here, but for a macro brew which can be found in any bar this is a solid wheat beer.

Orange, cloudy appearance with a citrus aroma. Very smooth and easy to drink. I enjoy this with an orange peel. One of my favorites.

Very weak beer. Weak on taste, smell, mouth feel, everything. Yes. it is drinkable. But with SO MANY other GREAT witbiers out there, WHY ever settle for this?!?!?!?!?!

Bottled.. Cloudy golden orange with a dissipating white head.. Aroma was orange peels and that’s about all I could pick up.. Flavor followed suit. Lots of carbonation.

"A really enjoyable beer. This beer pours an orange/golden color with a thick white head. Aromas of citrus and wheat. Goes down smooth, serve with a slice of orange and enjoy.

I like to just eat that orange the bartenders always so proudly grace my glass with. I don’t like the fruit in the beer. On tap this seems to be thicker and more cloudy with a touch more flavor. Lots of wheat, some citrus, sweet and not awful. Simple

Pours a hazy yellowish color. Head disappears quickly. Mild Citrus and floral taste and aroma. This was my first Belgian white beer and while it’s not the best out there, It sparked in interest for me to try many others in the style.

This is one definitely better on tap than bottled. And skip the orange -- it destroys the balance. To me, this is a pleasant white ale that is simple and cozy. Smooth flavor with citrus zest and coriander on the tongue. Fairly short finish and much better cold than warm. A perfect relax beer for any time of year when you just want to come home, collapse, and not think too much. If you’re not in the mood for the strong flavors of the IPA, Stout, or Porter, reach over for one of these.
