i think i was surprised by both how much fruit and how creamy this beer was. don’t remember it much otherwise, and i refuse to fake a description. but i definitely thought it was a really good wit and that i should get a six pack someday.

Great summer beer. A bit more thin than I would like, but it goes down smooth. Has a nice long lasting head and great aroma. Probably wouldn’t drink mid winter as I would some others of the sytle, but definately a solid beer.

Very slightly hazy yellow, medium white head that lasts for a while. Grass and hay with some light spice in the aroma. Light to medium body, actually more mouthfeel than what I would expect, and a lively, but not excessive carbonation. Light spicy flavors with some sweet malt as a backbone. A refreshing mild bitterness with a tinge of sourness finishes it off. Refreshing, not sweet or sticky, making it a good choice for a hot summer’s day.

Poured a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Light malt and light fruit aroma. Some spice but stays in the background. Pretty sweet flavor with fruity pear notes. Semi-dry.

Cloudy, mashed banana color with an applesouce head. Banana and phenolic aroma. Nice flavor profile. Well-bittered, tangy, like a wit without all the coriander. Smooth and mouthy, good body for a wheat. Quick fruity/bitter finish. Really good. Rerate This re-rating indicates that this is either a highly-variable beer, or I’ve got a highly-variable palate. Rich, buttered bread and jam aroma. Bright light cloudy yellow, rafting white head. Dry, light bittering, biscuity, looking for a citrus wedge. Not fruity in and of itself. Light body, a bit watery, lightly bitter aftertaste.

Aroma is an explosion of citrus and flowers, chamomile specifically. Very good. Seems like Witbiers are chronically underrated on this site.

Beer on the Pier. Butterscotch aroma, although perhaps that is coming from the residue of the Goose Island Rotweizen I had previously that I couldn’t rinse out because there was no water. Cloudy, pale yellow with a thin, white head and nice lace. Very interesting. A lot better than the Rotweizen. Quite a bit of flavor for only being 5.4%. Very solid and not really all that Belgian whitey.
