Turbid orange/brown color out of the bottle with a quick, off white head. Orange peel and coriander spice in the nose, with lots of looming alcohol. This is a big beer, and a huge wit. It is very boozy. Thick, syrupy mouthfeel with lots of melted caramel, warm bread, bitter orange peel, spice, and lots of alcohol. I can really feel it on the exhale. This is an interesting take on a wit.

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle. Strong banana, orange, coriander, cinnamon and bread aroma. Cloudy brown-yellow color with small head. Sweet banana malt initially followed by a strong spicy (clove, coriander, white pepper) flavor. One of the spiciest witbiers I’ve ever had.

Dec 11, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a very nice looking cloudy red orange with frothy off-white head which lingers. Aroma of banana, clove, alcohol, other spices. Taste is of orange, other fruits, spices, with alcohol on the finish. Full thick body. None of the flavors are bad but it is a bit overpowering. As marketed, truly a unique brew. It’s good though not something i’ll come back to.

Dec 5, 2009 Bottle poured into imperial pint glass. Dark, hazy copper color with minimal head. Unique in that it retains some hefeweizen-like properties (banana, orange, coriander falvors) while having the thick body and mouthfeel of a doppelbock or strong ale. Slightly sour flavor with a distinct alcohol taste. A good "winterized" version of hefeweizen.

Dec 4, 2009 Bottle served in a snifter. Hazy, orange-amber in color with a tiny head that quickly disappears. Aromatic and flavorful. Corriander, spices and tomato nose. Medium-full body and creamy. Malty sweet flavor. Buttescotch, chocolate, coconut, dough. Lingering stickiness. Wait, thats the cookie I just ate. Big alcohol bite. I forget all the rest. Time to move to whisky.

Dec 3, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy dark golden color with a small white long lasting head. It has the aroma of banana, citrus and spices. Tastes strongly of banana, coriander and citrus with a little bit of a bread taste and a moderate alcohol taste. I think the imperial part of this beer ruined it for me. It’s just too much of otherwise good flavors. I don’t think I’ll drink this one again after I finish off the 2 beers from the 4 pack that I’m planing on aging.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle. Murky copper pour. Short, dense white head. Aroma is rather sweet with candied fruit, spices, yeast and wheat. Light flowery notes as well. Taste is sweet malts, candied fruit, Belgian yeast, floral hops, spices, and wheat. Body is thick, especially for a witbier, and has a prickly carbonation. Ends with more candied fruit, sweet malts, flowers, spices, yeast, wheat/grains and banana.

Dec 1, 2009 Pours a dark copper with lots of carbonation and a very impressive and extremely thick head that leaves great lacing. Aroma holds nice orange citrus, bread, biscuit, and good spice. Also some caramel malt; not aggressive, but a nice smell overall. Flavor holds lots malt character; the commercial description doesn’t lie. There is lots of caramel, molasses, and a big booze presence. Not sure if it’s as crisp as refreshing as I like a witbier to be, but it’s still tasty. Decent Sam Adams.
