dalepryor (148), St. Petersburg, Florida, USA Jun 19, 2008 hazy yellow orange pour with huge fluffy white head, the aroma is very yeasty with a hint of orange citrus and lemon, tasty brew and very refreshing
JPDIPSO (4286), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Oct 6, 2008 Hazy "dirty" dark golden liquid with a smaller off-white head. Nearly sickeningly sweet scents of raisins, candi, and rotting pears. There is a little more depth in the aroma, but I don’t care to look for it anymore. Sweet flavors all over the place in the flavor as well. Start has some melon and citrus. Quite bitter in the finish and really dry and bitter with an iron twist in the linger. I’m only a few ounces in and this is close to being one of less than a dozen actual drain pours. I make one more pour and will try and slog my way through this. Actually the it seems to "mellow" a tough as it warms. Still syrupy sweet, but some of the volatiles seem to be driven away. This is, at best, a poor strong golden, and certainly no Grand Wit. Magjayran (1157), Durham, North Carolina, USA Aug 28, 2008 Pleasant enough. Not as hazy looking as a lot of witbiers. Big white head. Honey banana and spice in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and fruity with just a hint of citrus at the finish. Sweeter than most any witbier you’ll find. heemer77 (3782), Savannah, Missouri, USA Aug 27, 2008 From a very hazy dark gold body with a huge bright white head. The aroma is light clove with some plantains. There is also an artificial peach smell, like peach flavored Jolly Ranchers. The taste is rich with peaches and some light clove. There is also some pecan. Too sweet in the finish, there is also a strange canned passion fruit finish that hits me the wrong way. This is pretty bad. jjpm74 (3155), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Aug 16, 2008 Pours a hazy amber with a rocky white head. Smells of ginger, coriander, wheat. Tastes of citrus, coriander, dough. Meh. hophead75 (1699), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Aug 5, 2008 750 split two ways. Hazy golden in color with a big off white head that retains well. Aroma of spices- coriander and citrus, light banana, honey sweetness, bready yeast. Taste is citrus and spices, initially sweet with honey, light banana, finishes dry. decent, I think I like the Southampton more though.
