Pours a pale golden color with a thick white head. Aroma of yeast and coriander. Taste of citrus and spice. Intresting brew. A little watery.

12 ounce bottle from Bruisin Ales. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin head. Aroma is very bready, yeasty and spicy. Overly spiced almost like a pumpkin ale. Taste is citrus, bread, caramel and spice. Medium bodied. Not too impressed with this one.

cloudy straw pour. Orange spice and some sherbert, coriander, subtle spice. Mouthfeel is fantastic, subtle smooth and creamy yet a little sharpness at the end from the carbonation. nice spice and orange zest. A very refreshing wit, with a suprising 6.8% abv which is very well hidden.

Location: Draft from RFDs, 5/23/09

Aroma: Citrus, wheat, yeast, orange, sugary
Appearance: Hazy whitish gold color that is typical of this style
Flavor: Sweet, light spice, similar to the nose
Palate: Light-Medium body, pretty light considering the ABV
Overall Impression: I thought this one was basically a better version (similar characteristics, just a done better) of a Hoegaarden. I liked it, but didn’t love it.

On Tap at Chappy’s in Dayton. I really don’t like WItbier much, but this one wasn’t bad. It has a stronger flavor than others I’ve tried of the same style. But I just find most these fairly boring and too much like lemonade. However, like most, this beer is very refreshing and easy to drink. Some decent citrus flavors and slightly tangy.

Pours a nice dark straw color with good carbonation and a big white head. Nose is bready yeast and wheat. A little spice and citrus but not really strong. Nice lemon and spice in the flavor followed by a nice mellow finish.

This is a good wit. White in color. Aroma has yeast, wheat, and coriander. Flavor has more coriander and wheat, with some sugar. A little citrus.

Pours pale golden with a small white head. Strong aroma of sweet tropical fruit, yeast, citrus, white pepper, and coriander. Flavor follows the aroma quite well with with a bit of lemon zest, and a smoky burnt pepper finish. Palate is medium and velvety smooth despite the almost sharp carbonation. Fairly well-balanced and super easy drinking.
