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.

Thanks to fogdog for this bonus beer. It’s one of those I’ve been unintentially saving. Pours a hazy light gold with a small short-lived white head. Aroma of earth, coriander, hay, clove, and just the slightest touch of sulfer. Tastes of earth, hay, grass, a bit of malt, pepper, and restrained spice. It’s there, but gentle. Finishes pretty dry and clean with a linger earth, hay, and grass. Quite light bodied, highish carbonation, and easy going. You know the sort of views you see when driving across Kansas with all the farmland and rolling hills? This tastes how that looks.

Bottle. Pours hazy light yellow with a small, rocky, white head, somewhat lasting with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (meal, cereal, straw), light hop (grass), heavy yeast (earth) with notes of banana and lemon. Light bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Short duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Cloudy bright golden color. Aroma is a bit faint, some spice and wheat and yeast. Taste is light with some spice and yeast with some citrus and grainyness.

Bottle. Pours a clear bubbly gold with a small white head. Aroma of spices, malt, wheat, lemon. Taste is crisp, lots of lemon, wheat, and spices. Lingering crisp spiciness. Great carbonation. Pretty nice.

Crisp, clean and very light with a large cloudy white head Rounded yeast aromas followed up by citrus as expected. Sweet and crisp. Citrus and banana on the tongue with a sweet pulpiness. Bready cereal flavours stake their claim on the taste buds also. Crisp and smooth with a slight tongue tingle. A good wheat beer. Sweet, crisp and clear. Highly refreshing.

It was nice of deschutes to offer two new beers for their 20th anniversary this summer. I’ve had the XX so now I’m drinking the wit. I’ll start by saying that while this is not a clear yellow like a pilsner it doesn’t seem nearly as cloudy as what I have encountered with other examples of the style. It smells really yeasty and the flavor is more yeast, hints of spice and pepper and pretty refreshing. Overall, easy to drink but there are better wits.
