Commercial Description:
Great Crescent Witbier is refreshingly crisp wheat-based ale with a slightly dry, tart finish. It has moderate sweetness with spicy aroma’s and a hint of coriander and citrus. This beer is very light in color with a dense, white head and some cloudiness from a special yeast strain. This beer style has been around for over 400 years and originated in Belgium. The style died out about 60 years ago and has gained favor by many beer drinkers over the past 10-15 years.

Draft sample at Great Crescent. Poured hazy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium clove wheat aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet spice flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Refreshing brew.

Citrus aroma, with some spice. Golden tan appearance. Malty and smooth flavor with the citrus flavor rearing it’s head near the end. Lively palate. Not spectacular, but pretty solid and refreshing.

11/15/2008: Great Crescent Witbier has good orange and subtle spice aroma and flavor. Both can be easily picked out, but neither are overbearing and both are well integrated into the flavor. It has a moderate level of bitterness that is probably higher than a typical Wit, but it is still quite good and works well for this beer. This golden-colored beer has a frothy, off-white to beige-colored head and fine, dense lacing. The body of this beer is medium-light and is soft on the palate. Overall this is a decent Wit.

Draught sample at Great Crescent Brewery in Aurora, Indiana. Rating #1 for this beer...
