pours hazy gold with virtually no head. very incense-like aroma, like Jasmine...(maybe a little nag champa?) ...very interesting. taste is floral, lots of incense. light wheat backing, starfruit, pear, a little bitter citrus. a little thinner than most belgian whites. aftertaste is orange, tangerine, pear. pretty cool.

Tap@WestChester. Nicely spiced, drinkable - but apparently not memorable, because I don’t remember anything else.

On tap at Wilmington location: Cloudy orange pour with a minimal large bubble head. Aroma was spicy and the flavor was pepper overload, with very little sweetness at all. Lots of coriander and pepper. Lots. Was ok...the pepper edge blunted a little as it warmed and some noticeable lemon/citrus emerged and something perfumy. A review previous mentioned jasmine...yeah, that might be it. Still, not awesome.

On tap at Newark. This is my last beer stop of the vacation. Arrived at the table a cloudy yellow gold with a dense, thin white head that lasted through the first third of the glass. Pleasant but mild aroma of lemons and coriander. The flavor is a bit more complex with wheat, orange, lemon and coriander all present. A bit light bodied, but definitely refreshing.

10oz Pour at the Wilmington location. Light lemon-orange citrus spritz aroma. Light bandaid belgian yeast. Pours a clouded orange (pale) with a silky white head. Flavor is largely non-offensive, but a carries some light wheatiness. Yeast is a bit too rubbery and hexanous for me. Some dirty witbier. Dry. Crisp. A bit of leafy hop. Meaty yeast finish.
