Commercial Description:
Deschutes Brewery's summer bond Street Series offers yet another refreshing, hot weather quencher to complement Twilight Ale. This unique Belgian-style wheat beer was brewed with zested Curacao orange peel and just enough spices to keep your taste buds guessing. Our brewers tinkered with the recipe for months at the Public House in Bend, Oregon, before perfecting what will arrive on shelves in 22-ounce bottles this June. One prototype of the Wit was sampled at Portland's Spring Beer and Wine Festival in March, where it earned a gold medal.

22oz bottle. Had more of a hefe aroma of banana and clove. Gold body color with white head and some lacing. Flavors of banana, zesty fruits and a spicey bitterness. Little chalky on the palate but a good refreshing summer brew.

Sample at O’Brien’s in San Diego. This brew is a clear golden color with a thin white head that fizzes away quickly. Spotty lacing. Light spice, yeast and bananas in the nose. Light-bodied and wheaty with mild spice and yeast flavors. Subdued fruits in the background too. The finish is lightly spiced with a sweet fruit aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bottle, from Bevmo La Jolla. Nothing better on a Summer night than a nice wit, and this one did the job in spades. It’s pretty much everything you would want in a Wit, refreshing, easy drinking, a bit of spice, banana, etc. I admit, it’s a little interesting that they chose a wit for their 20th, but hey, it works.

22 oz. bottle - pours clear and straw gold; white head quickly fades to thin film; aromas of sweet bananas, wheat, grain and lemon; nice texture with slight carbonation; flavors are smooth and finish dry and fruity; some honey there too; aromas a little on the weak side and missing that white ale bite, but very enjoyable

Tap @ Ham’s and bottle via Naven. Easy drinking wit. But aren’t they all? Not your typical Hoegaarden style wit. Perhaps a US wit style is emerging? Clear pour with the expected aroma and flavors and finished pretty clean. Definitely toes the line between a wit and a good American style hefe.

On tap at O’brien’s. Pours with a light golden body topped by a medium thick, white head with a good amount of lacing. It’s citrusy, grassy and wheaty wtih bitter notes and light sweet notes. Light bodied, crisp and a touch dry.

Pours with a small white head covering a hazy yellow body. Aroma of coriander, and orange peel. Taste is light with honey, wheat, and clove. Dry with fizzy bubbles.
