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.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy yellow with a thin head. The aroma was lemons, yeast and spice. The flavor was very lemony and light yeast. Overall, a nice summer beer.

Bottle: pours a hazy straw color with a thin white head that quickly disappears, aroma of lemon and spices, taste is pretty heavy on the lemon, too much for my taste, along with some of the spice.

12 oz bottle. Excellent Wit! Aroma’s full of signature Wit spices. Exceeds Blue Moon and Ommegang.

Reminds me of the leinenkugals lemon beer with that sour aftertaste and watery character. There are so many better wits out there.

7/21/2009: Ithaca Partly Sunny pours perfectly into my Goose Island 312 Urban Whate Ale glass. Its appearance is bright yellow with a 1.25" fluffy slightly off-white head. There is a lively torrent of carbonation and the rocky head is long-lasting. I like the spicy and zesty lemon-wheat aroma. This beer is pretty light, but has plenty of tangy lemon citrus, yeasty wheatiness, and soft spicy finish. This beer carbonated just right and is quite freshing. I am pleasantly surprised by this beer. I would drink another one or two of these on hot Summer day. However, I would consider this beer to be more of an American-style Wheat Ale rather than a Belgin-style Wit.

12 fl. oz. bottle (Best Before: August 2009) from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #55 for this beer.

Deep yellow-gold beer. Very, very cloudy with a thick white head. The aroma is loaded with coriander. Quite vegetal and fairly citrusy. It’s got a touch of wheatiness. Thin bodied and not very tart. It’s really not good at all. Fairly light, and mostly crappy.
