| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 23, 2009 Pours a hazy gold-orange with a moderate white head. Mellow aroma of yeast and clove with light amounts of citrus and coriander behind that. Well rounded on the nose, but tame. Flavor has plenty of malt with some close and yeast. Finishes pretty clean with wheat and spice. Slightly full bodied. Quite enjoyable, even if you just want it to be a bit more brash. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA

Spicy tangerine, ginger and marmalade aroma, something minty around the edges. Plumy tart fruit, nice peppery spice flavors blend nicely with brisk carbonation. Alcohol present, but welcome, giving everything a nice heightened quality. Nice addition to the Smokestack Series. arrogantb (712), Denver, Colorado, USA

Vibrant, bright orange color. looks like a nectar, not much head when poured into a wine glass. Smells like citrus and tastes like biting into a powerful orange or nectarine, good stuff all around. This was the second American craft witbier I had today and they both deviated from the norm in a very good way.

Pours a cloudy yellow-amber color with a big fluffy white head that has great retention and lacing. The aroma is soft with the spices of coriander, cloves, peaches and yeast. The flavor is complex and slightly tart with lemon grass, filberts, spices, rock candy, apricot, orange peel and biscuit. The mouthfeel is full, smooth and malty. The finish is long with lingering tart spices. Overall: This is a great witbier. Very tasty. nickd717 (1384), Palo Alto, California, USA

Aroma of yeast, orange peel, coriander, and other spices. Flavor is more of the same with yeast, orange/lemon, and spices. A little alcohol on the finish with a fairly full palate for a wit (not surprisingly). ljstephenson (114), Lawton, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2009 Dark and cloudy burnt orange pour, off-white head fizzy, very thick for a wit, super spicy with corriander and orange, some cinnamon, finishes by exposing the alcohol a bit, does not finish water, which is rare for a wit, definitely a different take on double wits, but very enjoyable.
