A nice Belgian style White. 22oz bottle from BevMo! Carmel MTN. Poured a light rust color. Nose of cinnamon, orange zest and yeast.

Bottle; poured a copper orange color with a good amount of white head. Aroma was heavy on the yeast and orange peel; some hints of spice. Low amount of carbonation created a deliciously smooth and light mouthfeel. Flavor on the other hand was pretty boring. Pronounced honey, bread and citrus; spices were only a minimal presence. Some sugary elements as well. Some positive and negative attributes to this one.

22 oz bottle. Poured a clear light orange color. Head was white and dissipated quickly into a paper thin film. Aroma was of pancakes covered in a light fruity syrup. There was also a whiff of steeping barley. Dry on the tongue. Carbonation was on the low end of the spectrum. There was a hint of citrusy orange in the flavor accompanied by honey, biscuity malt, and light grassy hops. Some delicate sugars came out at the end. The laundry list of spices in this one were very subtle. I like wits, but was not a fan of this one. It lacked the yeasty bread dough character and spices that set the good ones apart from the others.

22. This is a pleasant little beer; nothing wrong with it at all. Pours a cloudy bronzed coppery dark amber. Light but convincing sudsy head and lace. Big orange (both fruit and flower) and bread nose. Medium body, light carb. Tangy orange and brown bread on the mid-palate. Clean spicy finish. Nice enough for sure.

22 oz. bottle - clear and gold with big head on first pint; aromas of bread and soft spices; slight bitterness w/ citrus and spice flavors

Bottle Light hazy golden. Huge head...huge...crap its still growing. Gusher yeasty wit aroma. Lively to say the least. Light bodied and wheaty. No obvious effects of infection..just over carbed.
