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, 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.

Bottle: Clear gold with a small white head. Aroma, some grassy hops, pale malts, some spice, and hot dogs. Flavor, spicy, pale malts, some wheat, and a bit of corriander. not bad.

12 oz from Archer Liquors. <P> The body is a cloudy lemon flesh yellow and supports a diminishing, wispy white head. Aroma is slightly dishwatery with yeast notes, light citrus/orange and very faint spicey notes. <P> Fore tastes like overripe fruit, coriander, dried orange peel and dishwater. Not very appealing at all.

I nice sweet, light smell. A beautiful, light gold color, with a little cloud to it. A slightly off white head that rapidly dissolves. A taste great taste that is just the slightest bit tangy, followed by an easy swallow. Overall a very drinkable Witbier, although not the best. It should be noted that the bottle I’d poured from had been sitting on the shelf a little past its prime.

Hazy yellow body with small, white head. Aroma is yeasty and spicy with notes of coriander and clove, almost too pungent. The flavor is slightly sweet and evokes tastes of clove, pepper and pear. Medium body with a watery texture. Moderately dry finish. Though this beer has all the aromas and flavors I associate with a witbier, something is off in the way they blend together. Too much tang, too much clove, too thin a palate.

12 oz. bottle via trade with AxlLives Pours a hazy bright golden color with a thin white bubbly head that faded to nothing in a few seconds. Faint carbonation. Aroma is yeast and esters (mainly banana). Flavor is light yeast, spice, and esters. Has a dry, thin palate. Light body. I was a little disappointed with this beer. A flat, lifeless beer. It was exactly one month past its "enjoy by" date. I don’t think it made much of a difference though. Thanks Bryan.

aroma of malt and coriander. coriander flavor with an orange sweerness at the finish. a bit too spicy not bad with spicy food though.
