cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 31, 2009 Pale hazy vanilla darker than a wit. Swirling bottle bottom sediment. Very thin creamy head. Sweet yeast aroma. Good hefe background with bananas and spices. Does have some ale attributes that I can live with. Acceptable overall. Perhaps a little less carbonation than I like at first. Gets better toward the middle of the session, some orange is detected. Towards end, the CO2 get a little better. Good overall experience. LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Aug 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a small ring of white head. Aroma of cereal grain (oats), lemon, melon rind, orange peel, candi sugar, coriander, and pepper. Flavor is similar with the cereal grains in the finish and lots of spices (coriander, clove, pepper). A little overspiced by the end of the glass but decent otherwise.
7/4/6/4/14 (3.5/5) fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA Aug 11, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of big sour-seeming wheat, big lemon grass, orange, clove, lemon coming on stronger and stronger. Flavor has a tart, or maybe citric, edge to it that really works with the spicing. Lots of lemon continues to abound, seemingly the outcome of that tart quality. Definitely crisp and refreshing, and quite dry. Nice one. j12601 (1151), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Jul 6, 2009
Bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a medium to large white head that dies off rather fast. Some light grain, and wheat, with a touch of orange, and a hint of musky coriander. Medium bodied, light and tangy, with excellent carbonation. Just a touch of lemon zest at the end. Very refreshing, rather tasty.
badgerben (3586), Blaine, Minnesota, USA May 27, 2009 Hazy gold color with no head. Orange, light coriander and wheat aroma. The orange becomes fairly tart in the flavor. Coriander is almost gone. Quite a dusty and dry tasting wheat. Not bad, but different from most wits. MrBunn (1521), Western, Pennsylvania, USA May 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with a little white head. Aromas are lemony and grassy, but at times something isn’t quite right... almost like a fart in the room or something. Flavor has gone a bit sour... sour wheat with lemon and grass and a bit of a yeast and chemical buzz to it all. This just ain’t quite right. PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA May 7, 2009 Bottle: Hazy light golden with a dense white film of head. Very phenolic aroma- clove, light sulfuric notes, banana- more like a German Hefeweizen. Light feel- phenolic flavor as well- feel German with clovey phenolics and light perfumy vanilla- some fresh banana is there as well with a late coriander touch- not very bright or citrusy. Unexciting and poor example in terms of style. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 7, 2009 Pours a golden orange body with a white head. sorbet, lots of wheat and lemon grass with some mild spiciness and a sweet wheat character and some light spicy yeast. Its okay.
