Tasty stuff, good appearance for a wit, decent spicing, the orange is a bit subdued, but I picked up something reminiscent of cardamom, which isn’t quite appropriate for a wit, but this overall this isn’t a bad wit, and a good choice on a hot day. 355mL bottle.

TAP: hazy light orange pour, white fluffy head. Aroma is coriander, orange zest. Medium-light mouthfeel, taste is wheat, coriander, and orange/lemon. Decent white ale.

Nice white beer... Great aroma, good orangy flavor. I’ll be honest, I am not a fan of fruity white ale beers but this one isn’t bad. I can’t drink this every day but my wife loves it.

Poured a hazy gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of coriander and orange with a little wheat. Flavor is lots of coriander and orange, a touch of toasty wheat, some peach like fruitiness, and yeast. It’s more dominated by the coriander than I like, but it’s not bad at all. This is a decent example of a wit and one of the best beers put out by a macrobrewer.

Bottle at mellow mushroom. Scent of orange, taste is sweet and spicy, gave to the wife to finish.

Orange in the aroma, color, and taste. Quite a bit of carbonation.. solid performing wheat beer that’s in mass distribution.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Pours a medium cloudy orange with fairly nice head, lively carbonation, and descent lacing. The taste is strong orange and a little coriander. A little too fruity.
