Horrendous, this is just a horrible way to make beer. Why the hell would you do this to a Wit? Bought a fresh bottle and I was surprised how a beer that is not infected or old can be made so bad. There is nothing "Wit" about it. The nasty ass yeast dominates and is so awkward when accompanied by the traditional wit spices. I mean the person who thought this was a good idea should be shot. And I just noticed this is 7.1%, wtf, why for gods sake, why would anyone think this hybrid is a good idea, or good enough to bottle anyway? I have been turned off by some Middle Ages hybrid brews but this is incredible stupid of them. Just imagine, I want a nice summer Wit and I get a disgusting bottle of crap. The whole thing is just wrong.

Bottle. This beer is far from what I think of as a good wit beer. Vanishing off-white head atop a hazy light golden body. Sweet aroma, almost syrupy, with notes of vanilla and lemon and a little coriander/orange peel. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic and lightly bitter. Thin to medium body and medium carbonation. Not very good.

Nice head upon pour with a citrus smell which carries through to the orange taste. Does not taste much like a belgian white. Pretty light and refreshing beer!

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head, probably filtered. Fruity aroma with notes of citrus and spice. Medium body. Lightly sweet flavor with citric fruit notes and muddled spices. Kind of a weird for the style but it’s not bad.
