LA MIGLIOR BLANCHE CHE ABBIA MAI BEVUTO. IL COLORE E’ GIALLO TORBIDO E LA SCHIUMA PERSISTENTE. IL PROFUMO NON E’ ESAGERATO MA COMUNQUE SI POSSONO PERCEPIRE NOTE AGRUMATE. IN BOCCA RAGGIUNGE L’ECCELLENZA IN QUANTO E’ IL GIUSTO EQUILIBRIO TRA NOTE CITRICHE, IL SAPORE DEL FRUMENTO E DEL LIEVITO. QUEST’ULTIMO SI AVVERTE DISTINTAMENTE ED E’ SQUISITO. LA PICCOLA DOSE DI ZUCCHERO AGGIUNTO NON DISPIACE. OTTIMA DA SOLA O CON BRUSCHETTA E PIZZA.

Pours a hazy, light golden-blond color. A small, foamy, pure white head settles quickly to a wispy, swirly film. Lacing is minimal, mostly spotty and sudsy. The aroma is very nice for a Wit, with lemon chiffon headlining, and sweet notes of orange, bubblegum, and a touch of spicy coriander. The flavor is a mirror image of the nose, with the weird, funky bubblegum component adding a strangely appealing quality. It just seems to work in this beer. Finishes moderately long and slightly bitter, with a good dose of residual coriander. The mouthfeel is on the heavier side of medium bodied, smooth, and slightly cloying. Overall, a very nice, refreshing brew.

Pale golden/orange without much of a head. Aroma is sweet, coriander and orange. I don’t think I can ever have another Blue Moon after tasting a real Wit beer. Also very smooth and full. Nice dry-ish tart finish. Very fine!

Cloudy orange, no head. Very citrusy, psppery aroma. Flavor is also citrusy at first, then a peppry note, but there is also a lot of herbal, savory flavors, too - like sage or possbily rosemary. Tasty and quenching. On tap at the Thirsty Monk, Asheville.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a dense chalk white head. Aroma is citrus fruity, slight malty and dry wheaty. Flavour starts sweet with a light fruity note following. Wheat flavours go into a rather dry flavour. Finish holds a subdued sweetness to a rather dry light spiced wheat flavour. Nice.

On tap at Skyview Lounge (has anyone entered as a place rating yet?). Light fruity esters, slightly tart, musty and sour lemon zest on the nose. Pours mostly clear bright gold with an appearance of lively carbonation. Tart but not sour n the tongue. Lemon zest and musty fruit. Medium bodied. Lively carbonation. Zesty fruit rind on the finish.
