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.

Sampled from bottle: Pours a cloudy, hazey golden colour with a full overflowing white head. Sweet with wheat and bananna on the nose. Taste is citrusy, sweet and silky. Very refreshing on a hot summer day.

Too clear to be a nice belgian white, but has a nice yellow hue to it. A very frothy/bubbly head to it. The beer is very transparent, and should be more translucent/opaque. The head fades away way too fast. Lots of yeast and coriander in the aroma. The aroma is not too bad, but I would say that the yeast dominates the smell .It is indeed smelling of yeast to the point where that is the main aroma. The aroma is not bad, but not great. The bottle expired 4 days ago, and only cost $3.99, so I am pleased so far. Very thin palate. Reminds me of water, and the flavor has a wine type taste to it. This could be due to the fact that it is expired, and the storage wasn’t so great. The beer has a slight citrus, but mainly yeast taste to it. A decent witbier, but overall, not so great. Remember, this beer was expired when I bought it, but the colder the better. This beer is not a beer to try slightly warm because the flavors are not all that great.

Slightly hazy golden copper, some white head. Light aroma: mostly clove, some other spices including allspice. Some sweetness and a light fruitiness. Somewhat flat tasting. Peppery and spicy on the sides of the tounge. Somewhat grassy flavored. Thin and flat palate.

Wow.. I love this style of beer so I was excited to give this one a try. Pours a cloudy yellow, paper thin white head. Tastes basically how you would imagine a witbier to taste, imagine Hoegaarden with a little bit more zest, but not much. Easy to drink, smooth finish. Pretty solid.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow pour with a big white head. Nice citrus and clove aroma. Taste of light citrus and yeast. Very light and drinkable.
