desurfer (1067), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA Oct 9, 2009 Clear golden body; chunky white head. Aroma of orange peel and banana. Strong coriander and yeast in the flavor, with a solid hoppiness (style considering). Alcohol not really apparent. I wouldn’t call it a ’Double’ in the sense of an IIPA, but it’s a great Wit for those who enjoy assertive beers. Snojerk321 (1917), San Diego, California, USA Oct 6, 2009 12oz bottle. A little bummed this didn’t come in the 750 corked and caged bottle like the one pictured. Pours a lightly hazed golden yellow with a frothy white head, nice lacing. A ton of coriander on the nose as well as lemon peel. Flavor was light and quite tangy, lots of citrus peel and coriander. RoJoNo (19), Ohio, USA Sep 25, 2009 On tap at Independents’ Day 2009 on 9/19/2009; it was either this or PBR, but it was a pleasant surprise; I guess a plastic cup is a poor substitute for a tumbler or weizen glass, but the quality of the ale overcame such a humble vessel; I wasn’t alone in this assessment, for the two beer wagons ran out around 7pm. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 20, 2009 12oz bottle - Pours clear yellow/gold with a very thin head. It has a spicy aroma of coriander and clover with citrus notes as well. The flavor is sweet and spicy with some citrus. It’s medium bodied and leaves a touch of coriander in the finish. Very solid. jimmack34 (560), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Sep 20, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours hazy gold with a decent white head. Smells of lemons, spices, and wheat. Tastes of lemon zest, candy sugar, carriander, wheat, and pear. Very nice creamy mouthfeel, nice body, and long sweet aftertaste. Pretty good brew. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Sep 13, 2009 BPW #22
12 oz bottle picked up at FUBOB’s. Appearance is sunshine gold. The nose on this one is full of Belgium yeasts with a holiday spice to it. Flavors follow with a spiced holiday cookie flavor profile.
awiseman01 (318), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Sep 10, 2009 Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #21 of 90. Bottle Dan picked up at parti pak while out here (thanks). Pours yellow gold with white head. Good belgian nose with a dose of orange peel. Flavor has a excellent orange character. Some wheat and citrus, very refreshing. Not bad. Hbuck72 (122), Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Sep 7, 2009 Pours a light golden yellow with a bright fizzy white head, which is typical of a Belgian style white ale. The smell is of grains, citrus, and coriander. The taste is much stronger and more pronounded than the typical white ale. The beer balances the delicate taste of the grains, with the orange zest and coriander seed. This is one of the best white ales that I have had.
