Commercial Description:
The famous American poet Walt Whitman once described a particular Philadelphia sunset as consisting of, "...a broad tumble of clouds, with much golden haze and profusion of beaming shaft and dazzle." Sounds remarkably similar to our fragrant, satisfying take on the traditional Belgian white ale. Walt Wit's citrus and spice flavors deliver a transcendental drinking experience. Walt Wit is brewed with only a whisper of hops and a hint of herbs to set off the flavor of white wheat and oats.

Bottle: pours a clear, golden amber with a thin white head, lemony aroma, taste has some citrus and light spiciness, thin mouthfeel, not cloudy like I would expect from a wit, overall not a bad brew.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow body. Banana, grapefruit, lemon, wheaty, some spices in the mix. Decent wit beer.

For a Belgium White I definitely favour the original Belgiums but that being said I did enjoy the twist on flavour of this one. It was an interesting twist on citrus as if it had a grapefruit taste to it. Overall I thought it was pretty good for a twist on a Belgium Beer.

I really did not enjoy this. Poured dead flat and very clear, no head, so obviously dead flat in the mouth. Really odd behavior for a wheat. Lemon tartness in the nose and in the taste, with an overdose of sweet spices.

Pretty watery. Flavor of lemon. Sour finish. Cloudy very pale pour with a big fluffy head. Not much of the regular wheat tatse.

Lacey head and light body. This one goes down quick and crisp. Flavors of yeasty wheat, citrus, and spices.
