acrdz (4386), Boulder, Colorado, USA Dec 30, 2005 Draft at the brewery. Very acidic and sharp - and we found out why from one of the assistant brewers. They use certain type of malt (the exact name slips my mind) that alone has a very sharp, bitter citrus-like flavor... strange for sure, but it gives this witbier a flavor like it’s been mixed with concentrated lemon juice... which is actually REALLY tasty, since it sort of mimics a lambic sourness. This wit had it all: a bust of active, peppy lemon and wheat zest followed by a sweet fruit and creamy body. Unique if nothing else.

Aroma – Nice malt flavoring with the added orange peel this beer took off.
Appearance – Light Straw in color, Thin head and hazy.
Flavor – Huge wheat malt flavor and adding the strong orange peel flavor this was a great beer.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, good texture with a dry finish.
Overall – Loved the fruitiness of this beer the wheat malt was great and the additions of the fresh orange peel added to this beer. One of the best for tasting today.
