May 23, 2009 Fresh 750ml bottle. Cloudy dark orange colored body, muddy and murky. Off-white head, billowy, natural carbonation, nicely effervescent and full of minerally phenols and esters. Semi-dry, somewhat chunky and thick - too thick - with a heavily chewy wheat character. It’s delicious but I’m really not sold on the texture and body - far too heavy and muddled. Still an interesting take, one of the better double wits, a style I just don’t seem to like much.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle shared at Noogfest High 5.
Poured hazy orange yellow color with a medium frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate yeasty sour citrus and herbs aroma. Medium body with a tingly smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to long duration.
My expectations where met with an above average beer for style.

May 23, 2009 Bottle.
Head is initially large, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is cloudy dark yellow, bottle conditioned.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, herbs), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of eucalyptus, coriander, golden raisin, pepper, lemon zest.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Medium to full body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, moderately alcoholic.
Starts off with a very pleasant nose, more balanced and complex than most but still maybe a little coriander-heavy. Sadly, though, as with most of these strong witbiers, it’s just not that much fun to drink. It certainly has a decent enough balance, but the spices play too large a part in the aftertaste and the mouthfeel doesn’t quite support the body properly. Overall solid, given the limitations inherent in this confused (IMHO) style.

Jun 25, 2009 Bottle from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa. Pours hazy orange gold with a 4 finger white head. Aromas of coriander and likely orange zest. Spice. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is wheat, orange zest, banana?, and clove. Sure it’s banana. Finishes rather clove. Not a light beer. Really pretty good stuff. Peppery bits started popping up. Yum.
