Commercial Description:
An Ithaca-style interpretation of the classic Belgian Wit bier, this unfiltered ale has a unique spicy flavor and dry finish, making it light and refreshing. Pilsen malt and four varieties of wheat create the yellow color, white foamy head, and signature cloudiness of a wit beer. 5.3% abv.

The aroma is orange, apple cider, and wheat. Cloudy orange pour. This is a hoppy wheat ale with light spices and a Belgian influence. Mostly mellow and dry. I tried this on tap in the Ithaca area and in a bottle. Nice.

I was very unimpressed with this beer. It poured an anemic yellow then took on a more natural hue in the glass. Flavor was bland. Finish was forgettable. I’ll pass on this one next time.

Did not think this was a Belgian white when I had it - much more like a summer premium lager. Appearance is clear gold with fizzy white head. Aroma a bit of lemon and wheat but weak. Flavor is plain malt, slightly sweet with a bit of lemon. Overall, mediocre but refreshing.

12oz bottle: Sunny yellow pour with a nice, creamy head. The pour certainly fits the part. The aroma seems a bit hard to pull out. Slightly wheaty, the nose also offers a hint of sweet orange and citrusy hops. The body is almost tart from the start, opening up the flavors. I detected a lot of candied orange, sugary vanilla and coriander. This was very refreshing, but the body seemed muddled as I drank more and more of the glass. Just OK.

On tap at the Bocktown, nice place! Slightly hazy pale yellow. Tea froth head. Smells like mild wheat . Hits of grass an hay on the tongue, also a bit tart. Friendly and easy to get along with. Many of the attributes of a good lager. Some bitterness barely detectable. Well behaved finish with some mild hints of vanilla. Nice session brew. Very enjoyable.
