12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy dark yellow with a smallish white head that that quickly diminishes and leaves some lacing.

The aroma is spices, funky yeast, some banana and clove and some fruits.

The flavor is sweet lemony fruits and wheaty malts with a little yeastiness and some spices and soapiness. The mouthfeel is light bodied and slightly watery with spritzy carbonation.

Overall, a decent wit. I tend to like them sweet and fruity.

Bottle, 12oz. It’s an almost clear, almost golden beer topped by a minimal off-white head. Slightly peppery on the nose, with sourish citrusy notes. Nice, bud it could be more pronounced. The flavor is more on the curacao orange side than I prefer, both sweet and slightly sour, with appropriate coriander levels. Herbal, bitter finish. Medium body. A refreshing beer, pity the flavor isn’t at the same level as the aroma. 090925

12 oz Bottle -- Pours hazy gold with a thin white head. Subdued and tight nose, pleasant but nothing special. Bitter orange, hay, and some spice. Nice and spicey with a good bitter back-end for a white ale.

12oz bottle. Poured a cloudy yellow color with a big white head that evaporates almost immediately. The aroma has a strong backbone of spices and corriander with a hint of citrus. The corriander and spice character continues in the flavor with a lemony citrus in the bacground. Very light bodied and smooth with a great drinkability.

Very refreshing. Balanced Citrus flavor. A bit too carbonated for me. Well rounded.

Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of coriander and a hint of citrus. Flavor matches the aroma. Decent beer.

Clear yellow, filtered, thick creamy looking white head. Standard aroma for the style, coriander and citrus. Nice full banana palate with a touch of orange. Decent, not great.

Clean straw blonde body with a light head. Nice coriander and light orange aromas. However the flavor demonstrates considerably more robustness. Strong coriander and orange peel across a full wheaty body. Much more agressive than its Belgian Witt brethren.

22 oz. bottle from moejuck - thanks Joe! I wasn’t too excited about this one for some reason, but man did it sneak up on me. Poured hazy copper with a white head. Smell is white grapes, tangy orange juice, overripe cantaloupe, and yeast. The orange really comes through in the taste, along with pear, a bit of blueberry, some typical Belgian spicing, and a nice hop finish. Tastes light but the body has some heft to it. Overall, fruity, tasty, and pretty refreshing.
