Commercial Description:
A swirling dynamo of flavor, with a steady calm of satisfaction at its heart, that's Whirlwind Witbier. Offering a tamed tempest of flavors both spicy and sublime, this softly fermented ale greets the nose and tingles the tongue. Imported Belgian yeast charges Whirlwind with an energy all its own. It is a refreshing interpretation of the classic, Belgian 'white beer' style.

Not too impressive. Had a strange dry, citrus/spice flavor that is definitely unique, but does not really measure up against other witbiers. Head was almost nonexistent.

Hazy orangey color with a disappearing head. Aroma of tart citrus. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is wheat, with touches of spice (clove), banana and citrus. Finish is nice and pleasant. Balanced.

VERY CRISP TASTE LIGHT AND AIRY. NICE GOLDEN COLOR SLIGHTLY SPICY AND A MILD AFTERTASTE. I RECOMMEND TO TRY IT.ONE OF THE BETTER AMERICAN WITBIERS.

Golden yellow color. Aromas of wheat and light spice. More wheat, light spice, and a little fruitiness in the flavor. Very light, and not much going on for me.

From bottle. August Dayton Beer Tasting event - Favorite Summer Brews. Poured very yellow - more color that expected. Aroma and flavor mirror each other - spices, banana, malt. Better than expected but still not best in class.

Yellow body with virtually no head. Aroma is very interesting. Banana bread, orange, coriander, and some earthy undertones. The mouthfeel is what I’d expect from a Witbier. Smooth at first and then the bite. The flavor, much like the aroma is complex. Banana, bubblegum, coriander, and some malt. Finishes quite clean. This is a very good summer beer that really doesn’t fit into the category of a summer beer. More like a spring white ale or even a year-rounder.

Pours a hazy murky amber with a one finger frothy white head. The nose was very funky, earthy, some orange peel, spice, lemongrass. The flavor was very spicy and peppery, wheaty, orange, crisp, some lemongrass. The palate was crisp and a bit bubbly. Overall not too bad.
