Commercial Description:
An American version of the Belgian style. This unfiltered beer has a striking translucent, golden color with white clouds. Seemingly a contradiction in terms, it has a full body mouth-feel but is surprisingly light to drink. Topped with a hint of citrus, provided by Coriander and a secret blend of Humbolt herbs, this beer is slightly sweet and a delight to drink in any season.

Bottle... Poured clear yellow with a white head. Aroma of dank citrus fruit and spices. Tasted more lagerish/golden ale than a Wit, they must have forgotten what style they were brewing. Spices and citrus-like hops with other flavors of yeast, malt and maybe coriander. This style is so specific and can be great, I just hate that a lot of brewers make it lazily.

12ox bottle. Slight haze in a yellow body, medium head. Light spice and citrus aroma. Slight wheat and orange flavor. A bit sweet, with low bitterness. Pretty boring, but good drinkability. As a wit, it sucks, but as a generic wheat ale, I can handle it.

Aroma is grassy, some yeast. Pours a pale golden yellow, thin head. Watery with a dry finish. Uninspiring.

Golden color, some carbonation, and pours with a thin white head. Lacing was spotty. The aroma is malt, yeast, and some light citrus fruit. Light-bodied, slightly zesty tasting, with coriander and some lemons with a soft wheat taste but also quite watery. Not bad, it’s refreshing and drinkable but not much more than that.

Pours a hazy bright golden with two finger foamy white head. The nose is yeast and a bit herbal. The flavor is similar, but a bit more refreshing. A bit sweet in the finish. Enjoyable after a early softball game in 80 degree weather.
