Hazy blonde color with yeast in suspension, not much of a head, just a ring of foam around the glass. Aroma of bananas and spices. Flavor of bananas, spices and alcohol with a light acidity. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. So far this one is the one I like the least from Southampton, but still it’s good and worth tasting.

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.

On tap at Delaney’s in New Haven. Poured a cloudy pale white with a white head. Sweet and spicy aroma. Taste has a good amount of sweetness and enough spice to add decent complexity. Some toffee in the finish. More reminiscent of a belgian wit than a regular belgian ale to me.

22 oz. bottle courtesy of my SecretSanta. Different label than that in the picture. From the XXII Reserve series. Hazy straw pour with a thick bone-white head that leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is full of bananas, lemons and coriander with some orange peels and cloves. Decent body. Not quite as flavorful as I expected from the aroma. Lots of sweet maltiness compliments the tangy lemony and yeasty flavors. Some spices in there too. A peppery finish. Not too shabby.

Hazy pale yellow with a modest, frothy white cap. Typical wit with more body- wheat, citrus, coriander, a little extra sweetness but still finishes on the drier side. Alcohol unnoticeable. Medium/full body, balanced carbonation- a little less than the average wit. Very nice brew.

Bottled: Pours a cloudy golden body with almost no head. Aroma is citrus - lemons and oranges and also quite spicy. Flavor is the same. There’s quite a bit of bite here, but somehow it feels slightly watery. Cool idea, I think it worked well.

12 oz bottle shared with padrefan98. Very nice looking classic for a wit. Aroams were marginal, but the flavor was great. Lots of citrus with corriander notes. Pretty good.

Pours a unique hazy light orange yellow. Not much head to it, very light white bubbles. Very floral in the smell, get some orange blossom, and light citrus. Taste is somewhat mellow with very subtle citrus hints. Very easy drinking. Hints of orange in the finish. Nicely done.
