Slight citrus - lemon, lime. Vague spice flavours. Palate shot when I had this? It's unlike Great Lakes to produce such useless beer. argo0 (6985), Washington DC, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jan 30, 2005 (12oz bottle, best by 9/27/04 -- darn, i need to do a better job of looking at dates when i visit stores out of town and see dozens of beers i have not tried before) Pillowy big white head atop hazy straw body. Aroma and taste are the same -- medium sweet, herbal, coriander, lemon. Smooth medium body, some crispness, light acidity. As hoppy as any Belgian Wheat I have tried -- interesting that the side of the bottle says it is a Belgian Wheat, but the front description leaves out the word wheat. No complaints though -- this is an enjoyable and rather drinkable beer. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 9, 2005 Bottle acqured in trade with BBB63 (thanks!). Pured a medium and cloudy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus (lemons), spices and light bananas. Has a sweet balance to the spicy finish. Thinner body (typical for
this style, but thin for my tastes). Refreshing on a hot summer day. jcwattsrugger (5573), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Objectively speaking:
12oz of solid, spicy, hoppy witbier, bought at Bello Vino in Ann Arbor.
I like:
Quite aromatic witbier. Scintillating golden hue. More hops than most which gives an impression of freshness. Herbal, floral finish accompanies the soft coriander and tea-like nuances. Fruity palate never ventures overly in acidity, staying cerealic and wheaty, but more of in the texture than actual flavours. Medium-bodied, leafy, grainy, milky coriander fits here better than in most because it’s not lemon juice and actually shows hop guts.
I dislike:
Quickly fading white head. hopscotch (5531), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Bottle... Very cloudy yellow ale with a small, wispy, white head. Decent retention. The grainy, breadsy aroma reveals esters of banana, lemon and lime interwoven with mild coriander and smoke phenols. Light-bodied and a touch creamy with fizzy carbonation. Actually leans on the bitter side of balance, despite a good bit of sweetness from the unmalted wheat and pale malt(s). Crisp, grainy, moderately sweet finish. Thanks a ton to StFun for the brew!
