Orange juice color nice light white head. Smells of corrinador, oranges, orange peel, other citrus and fruits. Taste is about the same as the smell. Good beer.

4/4/08 notes: bottle. Pours a clear golden lemon color that is cloudy without being unfiltered. When poured, this beer featured a one-finger head. Smell is of grass, orange, coriander and yeasty cotton candy, if that makes any sense. Body is light and soft, featuring a small pearl carbonation that rolls the flavors into a nice little package. I tasted citrusy orange and lemon, along with coriander and sugar. Finish is sweet, and the alcohol is well-masked. Perhaps not quite as interesting as DDC’s Premiere Neige, but overall, a very solidly crafted beer from Southampton that should stand out amongst Belgian Whites.

(on bottle) Hazy yellow, big head, lots of coriander and wheat in aroma. I find the taste and especially the finish very troublesom. I imagine the use of US hops to be too much for this type of beer, since the zingyness falls over and becomes very tart and acidic. The freshness from the first sips, becomes burning and metallic.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish colour, mediumsized white lacing head. Aroma is yeast, wheat, sourness as well as spices. Flavour is spices, wheat, yeast and flowery hops. For being US-made witbier, it’s a very good one.

Poured from bottle 5/2008. Aroma of spiced bread - nice. Cloudy white gold, lacing head. Bread, pepper, spice, banana in flavor. This is really well done. I noticed the coriander about midway through. Finished great. This actually ranks with the Belgian Witbiers. Well done.
