Dec 31, 2008 A decent witbier, but not up to par with this brewery’s reputation. Aroma was very weak. Lemony with a hint of orange. Pour was a decent light gold with a 1 finger white head. Taste was nice but plain. A hint of citrus with some light sticky malt in the aftertaste. Nice carbonation carries the flavors and brings out a hint of corriander.

Dec 29, 2008 Bottled. A decent wit but I imagine this is better when it is fresh. I think I let this sit in my cellar a little too long. It was still good, but I bet it was better a few months ago. All the normal attributes of a good wit but they all seemed a bit muted from sitting.

Dec 9, 2008 Pours my favorite light straw with a hint of orange and a frothy white head. Mellow aroma of lightly oxidized hops (bottle isn’t that old?), lightly sweet wheat, vague banana esters, hint of orange peel and lemon. Pretty simple beer with delicate flavors, I’m not sure why its oxidized so much... but I bet this was pretty awesome fresh. Some sweet candied wheat and some gritty unmalted wheat, love that hint of sourness, orange peel and lemon zest. Long coriander finish. Medium body with smooth glassy but crisp carbonation, slightly gritty. A decent understated wit that I wish was fresh.

Nov 20, 2008 22 oz bottle. Some sweet aromas with some floral notes. Flavors were not as sweet. Citrus and bright fruits but heavy on the wheat twang. Just okay.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Sweet coriander and somewhat chalky aroma. Clear for style, yellow with thin head. Dry and chalky, light coriander and very little citrus. Thin. Boring.
