12 oz. bottle at Zeno’s, Penn State. Poured cloudy orange with thin white head that left splotches of lace. Lemony nose. Citrusy flavor with lemon and oranges evident. A nice surprise.

Hazy banana yellow and cloudy in the glass. Lasting white head and creamy appearance. Coriander and milky aromas. Some light banana citrus on the nose. Very creamy mounthfeel. Surprising sweetness up front. Middle of the palatefeatures bittering, sharp hops and hints of orange. Smooth finish. Very good witbier.

I only had the 12oz. version. Gold with a slow diminishing white head. Smells of noble hops and citrus. Very high carbination, effervescent. Initial sweetness that dries up very nicely, warming your throat its entire way down. Light hand on the spices makes this very easy to drink, not overly sweet and not at all astringent. I had the idea to brew a double white but I had no idea of the potential of this style. Awesome beer. I paired it with Vodka penne and it really brought out the coriandor in the flavor.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy straw color with a large white head. The aroma was strong dry spice and lemon. The flavor was dry, tangy and a little tart with noticeable coriander element and a tart lemony undertone. The finish is long, spicy and dry.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with an average size white head. Light grainy malt aroma with hints of coriander. Initial flavor is of wheat followed by some spicyness that mellows out into a slight sweetness. Overall a refreshing witbier.

Light malty and yeasty aroma. Very cloudy almost opaque yellow color with a small white head. Little taste in front then gets sweet. Lightly spicy finish.

Pours cloudy pale yellow w/ medium white head and lacing. Very lemony aroma, taste is slightly acidic, not very carbonated, w/a bit of a salty bite to finish.

One of the first beers I actually purchased because of its RateBeer rating... Pours softly with a slightly less vigorous head than most other Wits I’ve had. The color is almost an ethereal golden honey... I’ve never seen quite this color in a beer before. Has good depth and classic Belgian Wit flavors, but, at the same time, a bit delicate; "Double" in this case is only an indicator of alcoholic strength, and nothing else. Definately a good wit... I’m not quite sure if I’d give it the extremely high ranking it currently has, but I’ll most likely pick up another 6 pack of this at some point.
