Pours opaque yellow with a thin but cloudy white head and some yeast sediment. Aroma is strongly of lemon with a note of yeast. Flavor is nice and thick with a solid sour lemon flavor. Corriander is present from start to finish with little to no bitterness. Sour flavor lasts for a while on the tongue. If you like either Belgians or sours, make sure you give this a try.

Nice banana smell whic carries through to the flavor. Pours nicely with a small white head and a nice wheat color. If you like Belgian White’s this is a treat!!

This one was on tap and came out yellowish pale with a quickly fading white foam head with big bubbles. Aromas are mostly of citrus and a little yeast, fading to a slight hot dog-like smell. The taste is citrusy and slightly clovey with banana but not much spice. The lack of spice and carbonation gives off a watery mouth feel. Overall, a good effort on a style I enjoy, but lacks a little something to make this wit on par with others.

Bottle. A pretty decent witte but not to awesome, a little bit too much bitterness without enough flavor? Or something to that effect.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with a Pilsner aroma that inspires nothing short of a rating. Flavor of blunted apricot and sweet plumb. Watery mouthfeel. Eh, not bad but I wouldn’t seek it out.

From a bottle--Poured a very hazy straw-yellow-orange body likened to thick grapefruit juice. A decent sized white foamy head that soon dissipated to a wispy topping. Nose of sweet, citrus fruits such as lemon, orange, and peach. Very nice chewy wit, but the finish was a little flat and overall, I like my wits a little drier and tangier. Very nice wheat and yeast complexities that are great any season.

There are a lot of very good and inexpensive wits out there and for this one to please me would take a lot, given its price. I was rather overcome by the presence of peach in the aroma and flavor and I found it all most welcome. Peach is an excellent component of this style, one that I never experienced or imagined before. I was a little disappointed in the finish, where the peach flavors disapated, leaving a not entirely compelling acidic dryness. Still, a very good beer.
