An unclear orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of oranges, wheat, and soap. The flavor is sweet wheaty with notes of orange peel and lemon, leading to a short lived dry wheaty end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) rangey golden, hazy with a bubbly head - actually quite a noisy head... Giant yeast sediment. Loads of fruit in the aroma, and loads of coriander. Classic Belgian White. Owned by Coors?? Do they understand the term Belgian White? Nice effort though.

Cloudy tan colour. Might be the ugliest wit I’ve ever seen, at least amongst unfiltered ones. Filtered ones are so much more heinous. Aroma shows a little curacao and some sweaty yeast notes that remind of suntan lotion. In short, it smells like a pleasant afternoon in Aruba. The tastes is remarkably similar with phenolic curacao and yeast sweat intermingling under a blanket of dull, plodding malts. Because this beer is every bit as uncool as mixing metaphors, it is like a bad karaoke version of a really good song.

Draught at Crown & Anchor, Las Vegas
Muddy blond color. Too cold; very light aroma; light taste, light citrus fruits. Boring.
