| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 27, 2009 The sole reason I bought this beer when i saw it is that it was ’born in’ Kansas City, just like I was. Pours a beautiful hazy blonde with a lovely coriander-orange-lavender nose. On the tongue, delicate feathers of malt hit the palate with a nice balance between the malt, sour, spice, and floral components. I’m glad i saved this one for autumn; the ’double’ strength of this beer pushes it firmly from summer into autumn. A beautiful beer, i hope to get to have it in the future. bradner (25), Oswego, Illinois, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 28, 2009 750 ml bottle Batch 1. Consumed in a BLVD Smokestack Series glass. Color was somewhat yellow orange that was sort of hazy. Poured with a nice head that partially dissipated. Lots of carbonation that lasted the entire time the beverage was consumed. The first thing noticeable was the tartness of the beer. However, in no way does that take away from this gem. Coriander is noticeable and there are hints of citrus and wheat. Medium light body. Once again, the Smokestack Series does not disappoint. This beer is incredibly enjoyable. Not like other wit beers that I have had, but I would choose this over Allagash White or Hoegaarden any day. iamqueensblvd (233), , Iowa, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Beautiful light orange pour with a citrus and spice filled nose. Flavor was clean and refreshing with a nice white head. Felt very nice on the palate and had a very nice balance. (not too sweet, sour, bitter, etc). a great witbier.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 1, 2009 Huge spicy and fruity floral bouquet on this brew. Coriander and orange is very noticeable. A touch of fresh lavender as well with some bread and yeast notes. Pours a hazy mellow orange with a nice fizzy white head that last. Amble carbonation makes this brew extremely refreshing and you savor and get exited for every sip. Intensely crisp and quite quaffable.. WOW! Flavor is classic here.. Belgium wit... Spice, orange, tartness, a tad of clove and a sharp but distant sour finish.. Another fantastic Smokestack series Beer from a GEM of a brewery!!!" Brian2d (6), Spain does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Golden cloudy color, strong head. Citrus aroma. Tangy taste, very well balanced. Not mouth-puckering, but rather mouth watering. Palate kind of sticky. I do not have much experience with double wits, but this beer was very enjoyable. Light bodied, with much character. randolphjj (104), Raymore, Missouri, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 28, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden color with an off-white head. Lots of carbonation in the smokestack bottle. Nose of belgian yeast - cotton candy, maybe a bit of citrus. The tart aftertaste in the back of the mouth hits - it’s full of flavor. And the initial shock of the tart goes away after one or two sips and you’re left with a refreshing beverage with a nice flavor - not as much cotton candy on the yeast as the nose would have you believe. Nice one to crack and look for corriander and what not, while you kick back in a hammock. shrubber85 (2997), Wallhalben, Germany
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Corked bottle. Coriander, clove, orange, and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy orange-yellow color with minimal head. Sweet coriander/cinnamon, orange and wheat malt flavor - very nicely blended. Very tasty - an excellent witbier. swanmann (310), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 11, 2009 It poured hazy golden-orange with plenty of sticky off white foam, settling rather quickly. I smell plenty of spices and fruits; cardamom, clove, oranges and alcohol. It tastes slightly tart with nice sweetness from the Belgian yeast. Tremendously drinkable. It’s delicious.
