Jul 21, 2008 One of four 16oz cans bought at Johns Grocery in Iowa City, the other were enjoyed on the disc golf course, which made for a nice round. This time it is served in a Chimay chalice. The aroma is light orange, husky wheat, and a touch of spice. At first, the aroma is faint, maybe due to the coldness, but it opens up nicely over time. The taste is sharp wheat, herbal spiciness, and some fairly prominent orange. The flavor is aided by a velvety, but also crisp body, and mild tartness. Seems well attenuated. I am not sure why this beer is rated so low, it is a very drinkable wit.

Apr 11, 2008 Had this one canned in Stevens Point, Wisconsin; thanks Slothgar! Hazy, dark yellow pour with a nice thick and foamy off white head, light malty and ctrusy nose, refreshing limey taste, a bit of baked bread, some spice. Light, soft finish. Actually, very good, especially out of a can.

Nov 19, 2008 Updated: Dec 13, 200816oz can. Cloudy orange tan color, nice frothy head. Big-time aroma, lemony and citrus. Big wheaty Hefeweizen taste, very drinkable. Some corn and sugary tastes in there, but the big yeasty unfiltered aspect really shines through. A little funky with some trace wheaty sourness. Good value for a quality product. This is a well done beer, despite the gimmicky name.

Apr 21, 2009 The Horny Goat Web site calls this a Belgian Style Saison. I call it good. Very easy to drink. Some Corriander and a slit orange hint. A nice firm head.

Jan 22, 2009 Pours a beautiful hazy gold with lots of tiny bubbles capped by a thick white foam. Nose is citrus. Very creamy texture. Nice flavor balance of wheat, citrus and hops. Clean crisp finish. Not as refined as some other Belgian whites, but this brew is a very capable companion on a summer’s eve, either with a slice of orange or with some light picnic foods.

Jun 27, 2009 Experienced from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a very hazy (even for a Witbier) medium to light gold, with a white head. Notes of orange come through, as do a bit of spice, but not tremendously clearly, and not to the extent that a Hoegaarden or Allagash White does. The palate is a bit thin, but not inappropriate. Notes of orange, a bit of wheaty smoothness, and just a touch of spice come through. As with the nose, the flavors do not match those represented in the best examples of the style. Overall, a great name, but a relatively pedestrian beer.

Jul 8, 2009 From a can obtained in a trade with Erik in Indiana this poured a hazy golden color with a fat white head and good lacing for a witbier. Nose of citrus and coriander. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor of oranges and wheat malts. Decent beer but overall just kind of average.

Aug 6, 2009 This one poured a cloudy yellow color with a white head. Aroma was wheaty, some citrus, and spices. Flavor was actually nice and spicey with some orange and citrus flavor. This is definately the best of the 3.
