Commercial Description:
Our Wit features a cloudy yellow body with a rich white head. The nose is simply beautiful: curacao, orange peel, and coriander dominate. Light bodied with a soft yeast and spice mix, it finishes smooth with a slight tartness and spice. The perfect beer for a summer afternoon.

Bottle obtained in a trade (if whoever sent me this drops me a beermail to let me know, I’ll credit you). Pours cloudy orange with a thin white head. Smells very orangey and there’s a bit of coriander there, but otherwise lacking. Tastes caramelly with some minor coriander notes present. Some banana and spice. A bit on the bitter side.

Light yellow color with faint orange hazy shine and with big white head. Aroma’s of dry spices and some vegetal (herbal) accents in the nose. Touch of banana and white pepper. Smooth taste with a peppery dryness, some wheat on the pallet and also hints of citrus-candys. Peppery aftertaste with watery finish. Thanks Bello for this beer.

A decent Belgian. Aroma is replete with coriander of which I’m a fan yet there’s such a thing as too much. Harpoon’s Wit straddles the line. Fairly light bodied with a silky smooth, refreshing finish.

Hazy, straw-yellow color, full, fresh, lush head of chalk-white foam. Aroma, full of requisite coriander and orange zest, fresh, lively, airy, a fruity tingle in the nose. Taste: smooth, full of citric flavor, bright and alive, sunny and satisfying. A perfect thirst-quencher for when the palate is parched, or just when you need to make your tastebuds happy. I unapologetically admire the witbier style, and this version fits the bill nicely. Light/medium bodied, with a slick, even oily mouthfeel that washes flavor over the palate, before fading back, to swiftly return. A zesty, tasty brew, and a good stab at the style.

Bottled, 22 oz. POWERfull clove/banana/coriander/pepper nose, really hits you in the back of the nose. Letter-perfect bright luminous cloudy orange, giant cumulous head. Flavor very good, quite low on the sweetness, peppery tart slightly orangey; strong pepper finish. Good, but not as good as the promise of eye and nose.

I'm very happy with the extra pepper in here! Thinnish, clear, almost no clove and lots of (slightly artificial) banana. Very nice.
