Aug 31, 2008 Tap @ Westside Brewing Company, NYC. Pours that classic hazy gold color with a quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma is wheat, coriander, lemon zest, and orange peel, with slight malt detectable as well. Taste is largely the same, with wheat, vanilla, and banana up front dissolving into the coriander and citrus characteristics. Palate was not overly strong, and there was a slight hint of water on the back of the tongue. Overall, it’s a smooth and quite solid offering.

Aug 29, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is slightly hazed yellow golden with a one inch white head that falls quick. Aroma of wheat, spice, orange and yeastiness. Nice full Wit nose. Taste is the wheat and clove spiciness primarily, with only a bit of citrus lingering behind. The citrus is more lemon than orange in the taste, slight sourness which is nice. I also picked up some soapiness midway through. Palate is medium-thin, with a bit of the soapy spiciness lingering in the aftertaste. Clean, crisp and thirst quenching. Thanks for this one, Mark!

Aug 27, 2008 12 oz bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Last of the Iowa stock. Pours a nice golden highly hazed hue with a lot of floaties and a small white head that dissipates very quickly. Aromas are prominent, slightly spicy belgian yeast, orange zest, and a large coriander feel. Initial is similar, mirroring orange and coriander and spice, with some extra wheat tastes and and some slight bitterness on the front end from the citrus. Refreshing, light bodied, and very good for these months. Aftertaste is remarkable. A good wit.

Aug 26, 2008 Some of my friends did not care for this brew, but I found it to be very refreshing and crisp, with an finish that is hard to describe, but is really tasty. Also, living in the Philadelphia suburbs, I like to support local breweries.

Aug 25, 2008 An opaque golden hue topped by a thin white head, pronounced citrus elements are great for summer, clean finish.

Aug 25, 2008 Cloudy pale yellow, thin white head. Fruity, wheaty, spicy aroma. Flavor is spicy, with a touch of melon. Clean, crisp finish. Tasty, if fairly uncomplicated.

Aug 22, 2008 Very different flavor for a summer ale. Much more spicy than the normal plain summer stuff that most put out. Honestly it tasted like a VERY weak version of the Golden Monkey

Aug 21, 2008 This pours a pee yellow color and sort of smells like play-dough. I don’t have much kind to say about it as I don’t really think it was a great Wit. It was creamy and watery at the same time. It had a strong citrus aspect, which it should but at least the one I had did not work well.
