Aug 7, 2009 Bottle: The aroma is a nice combination of orange peel, lemon, banana, and coriander. It pours a hazy dull yellow with a small white head that quickly fades to a small ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts with a quick dose of banana. There’s a light wheaty tanginess in the background. The finish has notes of moderate orange peel, coriander, light grassiness, and a hint of lemon. Light bodied with lively, but not prickly, carbonation. It’s not the best Witbier, but solid and very refreshing.

Aug 7, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Wine & Beer Westpark in Richmond, VA. Pours a hazy orange-lemon color with a large head. Good head retention and lacing. Big citrus notes in the aroma with bread, husky grain and light spice and coconut. Taste is bread, citrus, apple, coconut, spice. Medium bodied. Fairly pleasant, this one.

Aug 6, 2009 Sampled at the Denver Brew Fest. Very nice nose of orange peel and coriander. Flavor doesn’t hold up unfortunately, but it’s drinkable.

Aug 4, 2009 Almost forgot to rate this one. This is just another wit, IMO. Not great, not terrible, just... a wit. Cool art on the bottle, as per usge for Flying Dog.

Aug 3, 2009 A cloudy pale yellow color. Lots of carbonation. Minimal head, but has specks of yellow floating on top. A spicy Belgian (tripel) style initial aroma, followed by a grounded wheaty base with hints of orange and lemon. Complex and balanced. The initial spicy Belgian taste is of cloves and cinnamon. Some hefe-y banana. A nice wit flavor covered up by some banana/clove. Just a hint of mild bubblegum. A tad too cloying for a wit. And I detect some pineapple. A thick and milky feel, with lots of body. Much thicker than a regular wit. Definitely more like a hefe than a wit. A tad misleading but a hearty, drinkable brew. Not very summery though, I must admit.

Jul 31, 2009 Bottle at the RBESG09 Grand tasting, sheffield. Alround rating: Loads of coconut character, thin wheatyness, lacking much else. Fairly disapointing.

Jul 30, 2009 Pours a slighty hazy straw color body with a fadin, white head. SMells of yeast, zest, and clove. Flavor is the same. Decent finish. Better than average and a great label.

Jul 30, 2009 [RBESG, Sheffield]
Grand Tasting @ The Harlequin, Sheffield.
Pours muddy yellow with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma is citric, sweet wheat, grapefruit and lemon peel. Prickly, yet low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, citric, some grapefruit and coriander. A good, solid witbier.
