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.

Bottle from Bevmo. Hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Good strong orange and corriander aroma and taste with a fairly crisp clean palate. very drinkable and refreshing. Not bad.

Bottle. Hazy gold color with a quickly evaporating head. Aromas of wheat and doughy banana with some dusty spice. Citrusy flavors with a mildly peppery coriander pinch in the back. However, this struck me as overly thin and watery, which left the flavors diluted. I was wanting more life and more body from this one.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy pale gold with a massive white head, even with a very slow pour. Despite its size, the head diappeared after the first two or three sips. Pleasant aroma of orange and cloves. The flavor was orange and cloves along with some yeast. Mild bitterness and drying at the finish. I enjoy a good wit, especially on a hot summer afternoon. This one comes up a bit short.

Not the best witbier, I must say i was a little disappointed with Victory. Pours slightly hazy gold, thick head, very aromatic. Very crisp, slightly fruity taste, clean finish. Just your average witbier.

Pours hazy golden amber color with nice carbonation. Taste is light and refreshing with a nice orange flavor. Great summer beer.

I found this beer for $.79 a bottle while I was visiting in Providence, RI. Can’t imagine why, it was good. A very subtle orange and coriander note with a tremendous head and lacing. Perhaps it lacked some maltiness but it was refreshing, nonetheless. Reminded me of my own spiced wheat beer (one of my best attempts).

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy light yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light spices and citrus. The flavor has a spicy citrus taste but is rather bland and watery. Overall this beer is rather unremarkable.

A nicely tan beer with a thin, quickly dissipating head. Aroma can be best described as nutmeg, nutmeg, NUTMEG! with just a bit of dried fruit on the nose. Overall flavor is light, crisp, and most definitely refreshing! Certainly spiced, it’s maybe a bit reminiscent of "Christmas". Not bad for a particularly hot day, although the spice ends up detracting from the sheer, simple drinkability of this wonderful beer. Would be a nice accompaniment to an earthy clothbound cheddar or pears.
