| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Aug 15, 2008 Sampled on tap at The Raleigh Times. Milky gold in appearance. Hints of grapefruit, sour grass, and white grapes on the nose. Taste of sour apples, white wine. Not my thing. xibalba89 (147), New York, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2008 Pours gold with a fizzy head. Aroma has plenty of spices, with a refreshing lightness. The flavor is pretty good, but not too amazing... it was a good beer, but nothing to write home about. Not worth the money. WeeHeavySD (3002), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 10, 2008 750 from Mckean and Charles in Maine. Shared with Cyn in the new Allagash glasses we got the other day. Paired with some chimay cheese. Pours cloudy gold with a 3 finger bright white head. Sweet light nose. Sweet fruity taste. Very nice overall. Nice wit, couldn’t find my bottle in my cellar a ways back, now I can let it hide. lassem (308), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Aug 8, 2008 Light yellow body with a cascade-like white and wide head. The nose is full of citrus-fruits and a little like a pissoir. The palate is pretty waterish and not very sparkeling but dry. I taste nectarines, green grapes and a little spices. Not much of a finish Petrucci914 (585), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 2, 2008 Pours a straw color with some bits of particulate. Aroma is a bit tart, with a bit of hay, and some yeastiness. I’m surprised by the taste......has some tart and sourness, with bits of orange peel and coriander. Seems like it has some hints of a Berliner Weisse. Not too shabby....better than I expected. RollinHard (761), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Thanks to Crizay for this most eventful witbier. Pours a cloudy straw color with a big white fluffy head that lasts forever. It laces too, sometimes, so extra points for that. Aroma is definitely tart with wild yeasts. Smells of oak, mustard, italian dressing, with some slight wit tendancies behind that (grain, coriander, etc.). Flavor is tart as well, which is no surprise. Definitely strong on the oak, mustard, vinegar, with some orange and more defined wheat. Finishes earthy with a bread crust, wood barrel and sorta horseraddish spiced aftertaste (though mellower than that sounds). Light bodied, but not lacking in feel, the carbonation is quite lively. Good stuff! Rciesla (3719), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2008 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. cbeers21 (576), Miami, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 4, 2008 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.
