Commercial Description:
A "double strength" version of classic Belgian-style "white" ale. A deceptively light ale spiced with Curacao Orange Peel and coriander seed.

12oz bottle, Sunset Grill. It is quite deceptive. Nothing that tastes like this should be 7% - that ends marriages. A great white flavor - lemon, citrus peel, sun, but a finish so smooth that the flavor is lent a very respectable ’fullness’ from very slight yeast. Well done!

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with lacing white head. Aroma is wheaty and bubblegum. Flavour holds the classic germen hefeweizen flavours and some belgian wit notes like coriander. Yeasty, spiced and overly banana fruity, goes into a more coriander and orange peel dominated flavour as the beer heats up. Ends lingering banana fruity finish. More German than Belgian, I’ve never been impressed by US imitations of these two styles (not that I am a big fan of the German Hefeweizen style), this one doesn’t change that.

12 oz, bottle. Very light yellow, clear pour with thin white head. Typical Belgian white aroma...spicy, cloves, some citrus fruit. Bit heavier than a typical white, higher alcohol. Still nice and refreshing though

A yeasty wheaty lemony and orangey Apple Champagne aroma. Some spice and malt in nose as well. Flavor has strong citrus and vinegar finish, (sour and acidic). Not my favorite.

750 ML Bottle. I’ve been enjoying this one since 2004. It is always consistently great! Pours a cloudy yellow with a nice looking thick lacy head. Yeasty and citrus (mostly orange) aroma. Depending how much you stir the sediment the flavour is slightly fruity with a great dry alcohol taste. A favourite of mine.

I wouldn’t really know how to go about making a "double wit" but they seem to have pulled it off. All your delicious wit character and flavors, but a bit stronger. Excellent brew.

Bottled. Hazy pale yellow with a big white foam. Spices, banana, lemon and wheat in the aroma. Flavour of lemon, lime, coriander, wheat and salt. Medium-bodied. Dryish finish of wheat, coriander and mild lemon. Wow, now this was a fresh, quaffable and sligtly tart wit, I need more of this!

Bottled. Spicy aroma, citrus. Cloudy beer. Sourness beyond citrus, wheat malt, a bit too much.
