LeopardMan (53), New Zealand Jun 2, 2008 330ml bottle. A slightly sweet and relatively pale, murky beer which could use quite a bit more of its citrusy (orange, coriander) aroma and flavour. Ends, as mentioned by others with a disappointingly dry feel and flavour. Could be better/worse.
sdriessen (56), Dunedin, New Zealand Dec 18, 2008 A slightly cloudy appearance with a rocky white head. Aromas of hops, slight malt and a hint of bubblegum. Kind of yeasty.
Flavours and palate are somewhat in between a hefeweizen and a kristallweizen, as in, no real sediment. Quite a clean, watery mouthfeel. Slight flavours of bubblegum and citrus, but mostly hops. A great member of the Macs family, but definitely not the best wheat beer. kiwibt (17), , New Zealand Oct 24, 2008 Slight orange,corrinander with a hint of cloves.Appearance cloudy with good head retention.
Flavour is a bit out of balance with to much malt flavour/sweetness and not enough orange/corrinander.
Overall not bad but not balanced for the style. gam (679), brisbane, Australia Jun 29, 2008 Large frothy head on a misty straw pour with good carbonation.Aroma is cloce nutmeg citrus.Flavour clove citrus malt taste,coriander,flavours are weak to watery.Finish is similar. Eructoblaster (1288), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Apr 29, 2008 On tap at Mac’s Brewery, Wellington (NZ). Pale blond cloudy body with a lasting white foamy head. Aroma carries light citrusy hints. Taste is a bit misbalanced and is dominated by maltiness. Ends with a short bittersweet finish. Not a great Witbier.
