Slightly cloudy bright yellow with a small pure white head.
Very spicy aroma,some lemon/lime.
Spicy favour with some good lemon drop,slightly grassy, some apricot and a slight bitter lemon finish.
Pretty nicely carbonated with a dry finish.
I liked this beer. Good high summer drinking.

Oct 6, 2008 I like wit but this was either too old and lost its character or it was just a little light on the orange and coriander. I am used to drinking them fresh homebrewed so I suspect it was half a year old or more. A boring lightly spiced wheat beer. No Belgian yeast character whatsoever.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle pours a cloudy straw color with a medium size, well lacing, white head. Aroma is light citrus, wheat, and banana. Taste is slightly sweet with light acidic notes of lemon & orange zests, hints of clove, coriander, and wheat. All of which are very light and complementary. Lively carbonation and very clean finish.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle courtesy of golubj; poured a cloudy yellow color with a short lasting white head. Aroma of wheat, straw/earth, banana, with only the slightest hint of spice. Probably more spice than most in the flavor. Lacked alot of great wheat flavor; not much banana. Pretty dry flavor. Fairly disappointing

Oct 2, 2008 I actually thought this was a lot better beer than the ratings here show. It isn’t anything special as far as a 20th Anniversary special release is concerned, but it is a good beer. Pours a hazy gold (actually one of the lighter beers I have drank in a while). Thin white head. Nice wheat, lemon, orange flavor and aroma. I could actually see drinking this a lot on a warm summer day. Unfortunately, I live in Illinois and I won’t see those for a long time now.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Murky and light yellow with a white head. Wheaty aroma with some spicy aroma notes. Light bodied. Slight spice. An earthy malt flavor. Very bubbly. Nice.
