seemed to by somewhat sour to me. A cloudy yellowish hue with a thin white head a lemon-pepper aroma maybe hints of corriandor. Flavor was mild with minly spice notes but finsihed with an unpleasant soury citrus note.

Pours an opaque gold with a quickly diminishing white head. Nice, sweet, bready aroma. Very nice. Nice flavor, finishes with a pleasant citrus-like aftertaste.

This wit pours a cloudy light yellow gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet with coriander and orange. A medium to light bodied wit. Malts are fruity and citrusy. Lots of orange flavors, with the usual coriander and clove spiciness, The hops are floral and somewhat strong for a wit. Light and refreshing. Yeasty, sweet and slightly spicy. A nice summer beer, that has some flavor and complexity going on. Lively carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Exceptionally fresh aroma, with just a hint of the cirtus notes typical of a white beer. Well-balanced flavor, with a nice follow-through of smooth malt flavor with hints of coriander/spice. Great summer ale. Go Io-way!

It picked this up at the brewery. 12oz. Bottle. Nice cloudy straw yellow color with a white head and sticky lacing. It has a pleasing spicy and orange aroma. The spicy orange flavor blends well the bready malt flavor. This is a nice wit beer.

Bottle from Johns Grocery poured into 16oz tumbler - Pours a very hazy goledn with a very small and quickly fading head; Orange, what I think is coriander and powdered sugar to the nose; Yeast with some citrus on the initial taste; Full mouthfeel; A little bit of malt on the backtaste, but not too much else; Not bad at all for what it is! I don’t really taste any bitterness or sourness at all. It’s not an incredibly exciting beer, but it’s still a good one!

bottle-lightly cloudy orange with a fluffy white topping. big orange on the aroma-not much in the lines of spices. I think my bottles were a bit on the old side. lots of chunks, not really normal for a belgian wit. flavors are orange rinds, fluffy puffed wheat and some nice lemon notes. body is a little on the flimsy side. i think this would be fantastic on tap. nonetheless, a pretty good belgian wit, but there are much better out there.

Pours a pale hazy yellow with some yeast floating around. Small head that quickly disappears. Smell is crisp lemon and spicy - very pleasing. Taste is equally crisp. Lots and lots of spice, mostly coriander, maybe some clove in there as well. Lingering spicy finish with a bit of sourness. Highly enjoyable Wit that I will get again.
