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.

Very smooth. Easily drinkable and moderately spiced. It isnt too wheaty or bready which is nice for the style. The low alcohol makes drinking many of these without compunction nice.

From a 12 oz. with a blurb on the left side of label, enjoy by date on the front of label, last third of bottle given a good swirl, sampled at a cool cellar temperature in a pint glass. Poured a more hazy than cloudy straw orangey golden with a small foamy white that settled into a thin lacing. Aromas of a light citric zest, clove and some spices, musty, moldy bread from the yeast. Good carbonation and a crisp, dryish, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant enough, tastes of wheat grainy malts, a light orange and lemon fruitiness, a subtle clovey, a mild sour mustiness from the yeast, a soft spicy bite towards the end and a palate cleansing dry yeasty, malty finish. Easy drinkability, just not that memorable, would be nice on a hot summer day.

Initial pour from the 12 ounce bottle into my stemmed glass was surprisingly clear. About an inch of white foam quickly receded, so I took a sip, poured all but the last inch of beer into the glass, swirled up some tiny clumps of brown yeast, and dumped that in too. OK, now its a wit - cloudy as can be. Head almost completely disappeared now, it leaves small traces of foam on the side of the glass when swirled. Faint sweet citrus and spice aroma with a little bit of bread yeast. Tastes fairly tart and a bit acidic, but full of fruit and spice. Sweet wheat flavor that finished on the dry side. Very refreshing The tanginess remains in your mouth for a minute or so after each sip.

Mildly cloudy, minimal head. Lemony,yeasty, hints of orange peel. Clean,easy to drink. Probably great on a hot day but the price is a drawback,especially for a domestic. Glad I was able to buy a single bottle.

12 oz. bottle. Hazy pale straw color with smallish white head, especially so for a beer with wheat malt. Yeast, lemon, and clove add up to a pleasing aroma. Light, clean mouthfeel with a lively effervescence. Flavor characterized by a bit of acidity and a suggestion of sourness. lean, palate cleansing finish.

Pours mirky yellow with a tall head. Aroma is very tangy and yeasty. Flavor is tangy and sweet, with a good amount of bite.

Bottle, poured a very pale yellow with a thin white head. Typical wit aroma, corriander and sweet malt. Prety average flavor, almost a little bland. Slighty syrupy mouthfeel due to low carbonation. An OK wit, nothing special.
