Jul 19, 2008 bottle. Pours a crisp clear yellow, half inch of fizzy, chunky foam that clears pretty quick. Aromas of sweet wheat muffins and some light citric sharpness. Flavor starts with some lemon citrus sharpness, moves into a nice blend of yeasty spiciness and grainy wheat maltiness. Nice balance. Very crisp and light on the palate, very smooth finish.

Jul 14, 2008 750 ml bottle purchased at Specs Liquors in Houston, TX. Pour is hazed golden with a two inch snow white head. A bunch of carbonation bubbles rise to the top of the glass. Aroma of citrus lemon and earthy funky yeastiness. Really engaging nose, soft, yet very complex. Taste is the sweet lemon and orange citrus. Wheat texture takes over in the middle. Finish is the spicy funky yeastiness. Nice transition of flavors. Palate seemed more like a Saison than a Wit, but really worked for this beer. Aftertaste lingers with a bit of sour lemon peel. Nice one.

Jul 13, 2008 Going to have to do this rating without my notes so here goes. Pours a little disappointing, has very little sediment in the bottle and as a result very little haze. Produces a thick frothy white head as expected. The nose and flavor are not nearly as pronounced as I would like. Wheaty undertones, that sourness is there. Not nearly as much citrus as i would have liked. Lacks the sweetness of the coriander and curacao. I guess I’ve learned the importance of those two. Overall, not a big fan.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle from Whole Foods Albuquerque. Really good stuff: the citrus comes through as citrus and not citrus peel; the body is cloudy but drinks very clean. Wheat and yeast are crystal clear but without being watered-down. Very great when it’s hot outside.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s. This is a fairly standard Belgian white with the expected flavors--wheat, yeast, lemon, coriander. For my taste buds, it was heavier on the wheat and not as lemony-yeasty as I wanted. Not bad, but pretty average. Probably would have been well-served by a lemon slice, so that tells you something about it, I guess.

Jul 12, 2008 hazy yellow pour with an inch tall foamy white head and some streaky lacing. aroma of wheat, orange peel, yeast and watered down lemon juice. the flavor is lemon-y and tart with some stale grain/wheat, floral and lightly savory yeast. tart spicy finish leaves some acidity in the aftertaste. medium body with a phlegmy thick mouth feel.
needs a re-rate from a guaranteed fresh bottle. i have suspicions about this one...
