javathehop (14), Pennsylvania, USA Aug 20, 2007 the flavour seems actually very good, it’s not off in any way it really is amazing this came from Coors, I did not realise it was a major company product when I got it. this is one great session summer beer, it’s available all over the place and has actual style to it.
berkshirejohn (1184), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Nov 30, 2008 [355ml bottle from Sainsbury’s - labelled as "North American Craft Beer" rather than "Belgian White Ale" and brewed by BMBC in Toronto.] Cloudy orange with thin white head; aroma has some citrus and some grain; flavour the same, rather soapy and floury mouthfeel. Refreshing, but nothing more. gilvanblight (360), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Nov 28, 2008 Cloudy orange gold pour with a very lacey head. Scent of citrus and taste of correander and orange as expected. Definately a Wit Beer. Not a bad one at that. Very drinkable. Between a Mill Street Wit and a Hoegaarden to me. hughie (2415), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Nov 28, 2008 Murky orange with a white head. Sweet slightly gluey taste with some grainy background. Taste has a little citrus at the beginning and some soapy dryness at the end. The rest is sweety oaty biscuit. It has some redeeming features. For instance, it quenches your thirst if you drink it cold and very fast. johninmelb (641), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Nov 21, 2008 Lightly peppery, gentle citrus nose. Pours orange and cloudy. Flavour is not great - a bit cloying and a bit too soft drinky. Finish spreads out into dirty socks and dishwater that used orange scented washing up liquid. Disappointing. HarryFlashman (434), Chatham, Kent, England Nov 21, 2008 I sampled this brew a number of times when in Las Vegas. It purports to be a "Belgian White", but is clearly a poor American imitation. It looks vaguely right with a frothy head and cloud appearance, but that’s where the resemblance to a Belgian White ends. As per comments below, it is very soapy. It is overly sweet and citrusy in a fake way. The Americans should stick to the Pale Ales, which they do well and leave this sort of thing to the Belgians and Germans.
