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.

This witbeer pours a slightly hazy yellow gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is citrus, banana and clove. A medium bodied witbier. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are spicy. Lots of citrus and coriander flavors. Very lively carbonation. A nice light tasting and refreshing summer beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

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.

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.

Clear gold. Very carbonated. Thin head. Nice light pepper aroma. Light pepper flavour builds to long lasting peppery aftertaste. (Soft table pepper) Like a peppery golden ale.

Bomber. Pours slightly hazy yellow-golden with a small white head. Aroma is sweetish malt, witbier yeast and spices, with quite a bit of coriander. Flavor is similar, with a noticeable bit of orange peel. Not going to win any excitement awards, but it all comes together nicely.

Draught @ Deschutes Brewery and Public House, Portland, OR. Pours a hazy pale golden color with a small white head. Has a slightly sweet yeasty spicy citrus aroma. Sweetish spivy citrus flavor with some hints of yeast. Has a fruity malty yeasty finish with hints of citrus in the aftertaste.
