I don’t know. I know this has a good reputation and all but I found it almost undrinkable. Skunky and sharp. I’m not digging it.

Pale yellow with a small, quickly vanishing, white head. Sweet citrus, clove and hops aroma. Flavor is tangy wheat, orange, lemon and coriander. Pretty decent overall, but not remarkable. A good summer beer for easy drinking.

12 oz bottle from Beer of the Month - Poured it into a pilsner glass. It has a nice yellow cloudy appearance. The head dissipated quite quickly. Very light nose. It’s a nice refreshing beer for the summer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow with no real head. Very light nose with hints of clove, yeast, hay, and a little coriander. Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a slight dryness to it. Light lemon, floral notes, clove, yeast, and what comes across as light wheat notes on the palate. Medium-short finish. A light, refreshing wit that is just a bit on the bland and watery side. Still, it is very sessionable and makes for an enjoyable experience.

Sampled from bottle: pours a nice cloudy golden colour with a big fluffy white head initially, but it quickly fades into a nothingness. Aroma has bananna, spices and orange peel. Taste is pleasent and creamy. Not too spicey- not trying to overdue it and doing it well. tropical fruit notes with a pleasent yeastiness underlying the bier. Great job!"

Hazy, very light yellow pour with a white head. Aroma of lemon, spice, and fresh cut grass. Flavor is good, spicey, wheat. Lots of carbonation and a clove finish. Great beer for a great beer store.

Bottle Pours a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. The head leaves rather quickly. Laces okay though. The aroma is of lemons, grass, spices, and floral. Has a lot of carbonation. The carbonation gives this one an awmost dry texture. The flavor is pretty good. Not as sweet as I thought it would be. Refreshing and drinkable. Has a good mouthfeel. The finish is good with a nice aftertaste. This is pretty good.

12oz bottle. Orange yellow with a massive foamy head. Some serious chunky floaters. The aroma is pleasantly astringent, orange vanilla, not overly sweet. The taste and especially mouthfeel are right on, this is a US Wit that could easily hold it’s own in Belgium. Balanced spices, mellow and effective. Seriously effervescent. Top notch.
