12 oz bottle purchased at a HyVee somewhere in Des Moines, Iowa. Pour is cloudy golden with a 1/2 inch white head that falls fast. There are a fair amount of visible floaties on the pour. Aroma of softly sweet lemon citrus with a nice earthy wheat in there. Taste is the floral lemon sweetness, with some coriander spice and a great semi sour bitterness to the finish. Well done wit, though the very end of the after taste had a bit of metallic to it.

12-oz. Thanks, Theisti! Clear light amber with thin white film. Nose of spices, lemon, and aluminum. Medium, fizzy body. Slightly sour, fully spice mid-palate, and there’s that aluminum again. Mild, brief, spicy finish. Not bad but there and certainly more interesting wits out there.

Bottle, thanks to after4ever! Pours hazy gold with a thin white head. Spice, lemon and fruit nose. Light body, light carbonation. Not a lot going on in the taste - maybe some citrus? Spicy dry finish.

pours a pale yellow color with a foamy head, not much of an aroma. But not too bad of a Belgian.

Bottle at Fort Wayne Winter Gathering.Small white head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, very little carbonation, hazy, and a straw hue. Nose was coriander, oranges, citrus, and sweet.Ditto for the flavor.Smooth mouthfeel and light in body.Quaffable, but nothing special and easy forgettable IMO.

This flippy top bottled brew from a rating party poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy dark yellow colored body and a fair lacing. The funky aroma was dirty sock. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops dough and wheat. Not one that I would likely drink again.

A hazy, pale yellow color with a creamy white head. The aroma is a bit straw-like with a hint of citrus-y appeal. The flavor is pleasant enough with hay like yeasty feel to it. The finish is positively dry with some light hop character to it. Alright beer.
