Bottle that came in the Port Brewing and Lost Abbey boxes of beers from Phil L’s, Beer Merchants, cheers for these Phil consumed 21-01-09. Pours pale yellow, quite hazy with a nice white cushiony head. Aroma is light lemon touch with some spice and malt. Its quite dry in the mouth and lacks a crisp refreshing bite to it, but its pleasant, some sweet malts, touch of sherbert lemon, spice and yeast make up the picture. Its fine. A6 A4 F6 P3 OV13 3.2

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured hazy yellow color with a medium creamy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate yeasty sour citrus and herbs aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium to heavy citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

(11/1/08) Draught at Blue Palms in Hollywood. Hazy golden color. Aroma of orange peels, coriander and some fruits. Sweetish flavor with citrus, some coriander, yeast and some banana and apple hints. I’m not very fond of Wits usually but this is a good one.

Pale yellow with a small white head. Spicy aroma with citrus and coriander. Dry and refreshing flavour of white bread and citrus. Nice enough, but standard fare.

Bottle at home - New Years Tasting. Clear yellow - white head. Flowery, fruity, wheaty, peanuts, soapy, coriander, citrus, soft, clean, thin watery body & finish.... Pleasant !!!......Again: #32 - Amerikaner Blind-Smagning 01-Maj-2009 hos Papsoe. Bottle. (5/2/4/2/7)

I’ll go ahead and state now that I’m not the biggest fan of Wits. That being said, this bottle was actually pretty enjoyable. Pours a light amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is of spices and light toffee characters. The mouthfeel is a little dry with flavors of rye bread, coriander, and caramel.
