Jul 26, 2008 22oz bottle-A hazy golden yellow with some floating strainy yeast. Aroma of banana, coriander and orange. Taste of all of the above but it seems to be a little light in flavor with all the characterstics present. A light bodied brew but I was expecting more from Deschutes.

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle. Pale yellow, a little whiteish, a bubbly ring of film. Aroma of some sweet corn and spices. Flavor is slightly sweet corn / pale malt but significant spices linger (clove coriander etc). I don’t really like the way the spices stick to my palate.

Jul 25, 2008 Bomber. Pours an unusually crystal clear pale yellow with a thin white head. Spicy (mostly coriander) and lemon aroma. Light body, active carbonation. Just a dash of fruit and orange in the taste. Dry spicy finish. I would have liked to see more lemony tartness in this one.

Jul 25, 2008 Bomber. Pale yellow, no head and almost totally filtered-WTF?. Nose is very mild and understated with some yeast and wheat tones. Flavors are underwhelming with yeast and wheat overwhelming any other spices. Mouth is thin and very carbonated. Average at best and certainly not worth purchasing again.

Jul 23, 2008 Pours hazy gold with a short bu thick white head. Orange peel, wheat, pepper, and herbs in the nose. Light, crisp taste. Lots of wheat and lemon, some banana/clove, and a yeasty funk finish. Refreshing, but not anything too special.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle.
Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing.
Body is light to medium yellow.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of coriander, lemon/lime/orange zest.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Light body, watery texture, lively/fizzy carbonation.
A decent rendition. The mouthfeel is its weakest point...lighter and more watery than most in this style, but the pleasant aroma (coriander-dominated, sure, but it has a nice yeast character and ample evidence of the basic components) and quaffable flavor balance make it enjoyable overall.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle: A bit of haze in a golden pour with a modest creamy white head. No real lacing. The aroma is mild and grassey, a bit wheaty. Dry and light hints of spice. Tastes fresh and wheaty. Nice malty feel and a small amount of hops blends well with the lighter spice presence. Clean and crisp. A nice witbier offering.

Jul 20, 2008 22oz. bottle. Poured a light hazy yellow, nice white head. Smelled of citrus zest. Spicey flavor with a slightly lemony taste.. Not a fan of witbiers, but it was’t too bad
