Pours a cloudy dirty straw color, dark gold, with a moderate white head. Nice aroma of wheat, spice (coriander and orange of course), but a bit more of everything than usual. Tangy taste of bitter spice, strong bread, sourdough, orange peel, and a bit of caramel even. Balanced between the spice and malt, but not that sweet. Finishes pretty clean with a buttered bread flavor. Creamy and full for the style, easy enough to drink. Nice!

12 oz. Bottle: Pours cloudy white yellow, a head of fine bubbles, aromas of wheat, malt sweetness and light pear fruit, faint citrus and coriander spice, some faint pepper in the nose, taste of malt-wheat, pilsner, citrus peach-pear, and pepper, small hops on the palate, and the pepper hangs around in the finish, the beer leaves a good lacing on the glass, medium dry on the palate, a tasty white beer

Poured a slightly hazy pale golden color with a dense white head that was slow to settle and produced good lacing. The aroma was light yeast, citrus, pepper and wheat. The flavor was a bit of citrus and wheat with some sweeter malt coming through. Not much pepper or bite to this one. Expected more from a double-wit. Mouthfeel wasn’t bad. Carbonation wasn’t too in your face.

Bottle, listed as Publick House. Pours a dull, cloudy yellow with little head. Aroma is hollow plastic woody lemon with a sour coriander presence. Flavor is quickly-fading lemon coriander with a hint of cedar. Average mouthfeel. A boring beer that needs more pizazz.

Pours a hazy golden color, has a one finger head. smells mostly of the spices. sorta has a belgian golden ale smell about it. And the taste im picking up the most is banana, but also getting the clove taste, and a touch of orange. but doesnt taste like a belgian golden ale which i thought it smelled like. Its actually not a bad brew, i could drink a few of these no problem. has a clean finish and is more mellow then i expected from a "double white"

For this type of style - too much. Why do we want to push everything up. Tried 2/13/09 Nose - Clove, spice and banana Taste - very clovey and hints of pepper and watered down orange. Decent color but had a muddled element that didn’t seem right. Stay with a Hoegaarden if you want this style.

Draft at Redlight. Hazy golden colored with a nice white head. Bananas and cloves dominate the flavor with some nice spices hitting mid palate and a finish that is mellow and a little light. I do like this one though. Would be an excellent choice on a nice warm Florida day. Re-rate, bottle. Hazy gold, thick white head that fades to a whispy layer. Coriander, bubblegum, wheat and spice. A little zing but also a touch thin. Was better on draft but still a solid beer for the hot Florida days.

On tap at Bacchus. Pours a hazy opaque amber with a small white head which falls off rather quickly. Nose is bright citrus and yeast, with a bit of banana and clove. Sweet lemon on a smooth finely carbonated body. Clean light yeasty finish that zings the gums nicely.
