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.

22 oz bottle. Pours a clear(?) light golden yellow with a fine white head that retains and laces the glass.

The aroma is spices, wheat, a touch of fruits, and musty leather and medicinal alcohol with a little skunkiness.

The flavor is pretty subdued - wheaty malts, a little citrus, and some spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.

Overall, not a really good wit.

Very light color. Sort of like a citrusy Belgian/Wheat beer. This one starts clean, with a citrus finish. I don’t love it, but it is drinkable.

Cloudy pale yellow with white fluffy head. Nose of yeast, grain and fruit. Flavor is spice, banana, grain and yeast. Nice body and mouthfeel. Decent carbination with clean finish.

Pours a clear and surprisingly light yellowish color with a short-lived white head which receded to a ring leaving little lacing. The aroma is pretty standard for a wit with a very sweet banana and wheat aroma with a healthy dose of spices thrown in. The first thing I notice in the taste is a big lemony presence that lasted throughout. The rest of the flavors match the aroma but there’s a dominant lemony flavor that makes this a little bit unique. The mouthfeel is a bit thin honestly with lots of carbonation. This is a decent summer beer but not the most distinct wit I’ve had.

22. Pours a deeply hazy medium copper with a thin white rim of film atop, and some decent sheets of white lace up the sides. Appealing coriander and bubble gum nose. Watery, thin body with flavors quite subdued. This beer looks and smells about right, if not world-beating, but it goes quite watery and in the end amounts to not a whole lot.
