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.

Pours pale yellow w/ a solid head that lingers w/ superb lacing. Aromas are fresh and bright w/ spicy citrus. Medium nectar w/ good carbonation. Flavors are clean and crisp w/ mild spicing. Vanilla cream tempered by bitter lemon rind for superb balance. The finish is dry w/ lingering bittering. After a while the bittering rind becomes a little obtrusive like a big red zit on the Mona Lisa.

On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours golden with a thin, creamy, white head, some lace. Smells crisp, cereal malty. Tastes bland and cereal malty. Not sweet malty just cereal. A bit stale tasting. Medium body, subdued carbonation.

Pours with almost no head and has none of the cloudiness that you expect from a wit. There is a very faint aroma of spices and citrus notes, but overall it smells yeasty. Lemon is the most pronounced flavor for the beer. The beer is extremely drinkable, but it’s really no more remarkable to me than a run of the mill lager. I expect more from Deschutes.

Refreshing but forgettable - and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Appearance as expected but with no cloudiness; very light aroma. Flavor of sweet yeast, lemon, sourdough, sugar. Smooth finish, not too sour or bitter. Does nothing wrong, but does nothing spectacularly.

Pours a light clear yellow with a lasting whitish head. Smell is lightly of wheat, and subtle hops. Mild, but not bad. Taste is wheaty, a bit thin and mild, with some light bitterness to complement and balance. Not bad, but a bit thin bodied, and flavored. Nothing too spectacular overall.
