Dec 4, 2008 Bottle, pours a pale yellow, cloudy. Head is dense and lasting. Nose is clove and citrus. Taste is the same, kind of spicy, nice tight finish.
I am a huge fan of New Belgium, they are practically my intro into craft beer and I desperately want to like this beer but I just can not. I do not know what if it is the clove or what but this beer tastes JUST like bologna to me.

Nov 27, 2008 My wife and I really enjoyed this offering from New Belgium. Clean and crisp, cloudy and yellow. Just enough banana and clove to compliment the spicy citrus that goes along with it. Very refreshing.

Nov 26, 2008 This stuff is really bland. There is some citrus and spice present, though that’s about it. Perhaps it’s my unsophisticated palate, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I don’t think this stuff would score as highly in a blind test. In other words, I think the brewery is scoring all the points in this case.

<b>9/26/2007</b>: New Belgium Mothership Wit has a cloudy, pale yellow (it’s almost white really) color with a thin white head and a moderate+ level of visible carbonation. I would describe the aroma as "beer-y wheat" with some wheat malt and spice that stands out here and there. The flavor is that of a typical Wit. It is delicately spiced and has some distand orange peel flavor. It is lightly sweet with some light lemony and yeast qualities. It has a quick finish and a light to medium-light body. This beer is well-balanced overall and is refreshing.

Nov 20, 2008 12 oz bottle, 7 months after bringing to east coast into pokal style Liefmans glass.
Pours cloudy pale yellow, tall slowly dissipating head. Appropriately lacking in clarity.
Heavy wheaty, coriander aroma.
Flavor is traditional wit, though heavier on coriander than orange, picking up a bit of lemon. Light mouthfeel, dry almost lactic level sour finish, clean without aftertaste.

Nov 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow golden color with a small frothe bubbly white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong clove and banana with citrus. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet fruit and lemon with a dry finish. A decent wit from New Belgium.
