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

Bottle. Aroma is grainy with orange peel and a dash of coriander. Cloudy yellow-golden with a foamy white head. Crisp, exciting mf on a fullish body flawed by a too-high abv. Nice spicy kick, sharp and attention-getting, more wheat and orange rind than coriander, which seems to be buried a bit. More lemony on the whole. Tart and tangy. Dry, floral finish and aftertaste. Fun enough as a one-off, but wits are supposed to be drinkable, quaffable - 12 oz and I’m done with this.

I do not understand the point of this beer at all. It has a big alcoholic kick in it (though it is not a "hot" beer). Does the alcohol content simply flatten out the beer’s flavor? I think it does. I believe the run of the mill Hoegarden or other such White Ale delivers a great deal more of the flavors present in this beer. Here, there are only intimations of what could be.

Poured a slightly cloudy yellow with a thick white frothy head. Aroma had a heavy citrus note mixed in with some notes of coriander and a little black pepper. Initial flavor was very lemon but was balanced out by a nice spice note in the finish. Really gassy to drink, otherwise it was a quality beer.

Translucent gold color with a light amount sediment with a thin vanishing head. Slightly wheat aroma. Flavor of wheat, lemon and some spice kick at the finish. All over it was rather tart. Interestingly the alcohol was not apparent in every mouthful but rather only in certain mouthfuls.

This beer looked like a white shout be, but that’s where the similarities end. It was thin, crisp, and lemony with coriander undertones. Not much for mouthfeel. The flavor was too lemony. This beer would be refreshing on a hot day.

on draft at the blind tiger ale house in nyc. Very light yellow and hazy. Tarty, lemons, spices, well balanced finish. Didnt take any notes so this will have to do

POurs hazy yellow. Aromas of citrus, banana, and clove. The fruit salad continues with a nice touch of grain from the malt in the palate and finish.

12oz bottle. Poured in a Tumbler Witbier glass Hazy, golden yellow color. thin white head. Heavy bready aroma. hints of orange peel and heavy coriander. Bready, yeasty, lemon-citron flavor. Kinda strong for a Witbier! Tart finish.
