An artisan white ale brewed in the classic biere blanche tradition. Spiced with orange peel and coriander, you'll find it refreshingly tart, with a wonderful dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden body with a 2 finger white head. Orange peel, funk JP style, some woodiness, dry wood, farmhouse. Easy on the palate with a tart finish and no etoh. eh.

Brilliant golden pour with gorgeous and frothy white head, decent retention. Funked out nose with a citrus zest and quiet spice undertones for aromas. A spiced-citrus dryness marks a pronounced souring kick which really cleans out the palate. There are also yeasty barnyard element which quietly echoes towards the back.

12oz. bottle. Enticing aroma, with a full spectrum of yeast characteristics, spice and citrus, featuring notes of lemon, pear, orange peel, wheaty grain, vanilla and flowers, while there is also farmhouse, dough, cobwebs, clove, straw and plenty of tartness to be found. Cloudy light golden amber color with a lasting, fine head and a dusting of sediment. Flavor profile is tart, citric and fruity to start, becoming a bit more malty, sweet, woody and spicy, and finishing with a gentle burst of sourness, light bitterness and coriander, managing to dry out considerably and retain that edge of yeast funkiness as it goes. Lightly acidic, thin and relatively low in effervescence with a light body as well. I think this is my new favorite Wit, the yeast character just giving that extra refreshing and "moreish" quality to an already easygoing, summery style. It’s a slightly older bottle, too, from what I understand, but I certainly couldn’t tell. Thanks to csbosox for this!

A golden with with a creamy white lacing head. Fantastic Brett in aroma, pungent, with lemon and cloves notes. Wow! In mout, a refreshing liquid with light banana malt, light Brett, a bit of lemon. This is an excellent example of the wit! Superbly balanced. Bieropholie import, tasted around May 2007.

Very nice wit. A whiff of tartness in the nose is followed up on the tongue. Very refreshing.
