Had this on tap at the brew pub in Chapel Hill. Delicious Belgian Wit. Best beer I have tasted at Top of the Hill so far. Hazy yellow with a lacy head. They served it with a nice orange wedge. The orange peel and coriander smell as good as they taste. Very smooth palate and finish.

sampled at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy golden with a thin white lace. Nose is perfumey with citrus, coriander, and peach. Flavor is similar to nose with a very clean and fruity finish. Like several of their beers I tried today, I feel like this recipe must have tweaked a little bit because this was much better than I remember.

Brilliant orange color with lily white head, served with an orange, this is the best brew at Top of the Hill. Orangy flavor, sweet, only 5.5% but it will pack a punch. Refreshing and addictive. More sweet than dry, a full flavored Belgie.

Pours a golden orange with minimal head. Nice aroma of citrus fruits. Flavor of mild orange and goes down smooth.

A nose of corriander, bannana, and wheat. A hazed golden/orange with creamy white head and lace. Light clove and a light misting of orange with a light light bitter. A bit overly aggressive carbonation for me. A very clean well done beer.

This is the best thing I’ve tried at Top of the Hill. Their white tastes like it should, although it isn’t really anything special. If you like this style, drink the Old Well White if you visit the restaurant.

Sampled at the WBF. Pours a pale hazy white with a frothy white head. The nose is very much so oranges, citrusy, light sour wheat, sweet, a tad grainy. The flavor is much more grainy, a little wheaty, citrusy, grassy, orange. The palate is soft and a little flat.
