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.

This beer pours a pale yellow color with a fizzy off white head that fades rather quickly. The aroma is of lemon zest with some hints of spice mainly clove but nothing too fragrant. also from the look of it there was some suspended matter in it which could be due to unfilitration. the flavor is spicy with lots of clove and orange peel with a bready finish. there were some bitter hops but the finish is a bit on the water side and kind of dulled the flavor down.

medium golden pour with a white head. Aroma balanced well with sweet orange peel and coriander. Flavor is more dominated by coriander and needs a bit more orange to balance this factor out. Good carbonation. Decent brew but could be a little better balanced. May buy again.

Accidentally served as Prima Pils. I took one sip and inquired further with the bartender and management. Turned out to be a delightful witbier. Nice citrusy aroma with a spicy taste to it.

Bottle, pours a cloudy, yellow-orange body with a rather short lasting white head. Quite a bit of suspended sediment in the pour. Aroma of orange and lemon peel, yeast, and biscuit. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. Zesty citrus flavor with hints of biscuit and spice. Clean, tangy, orange finish.

BB 3/5/9 almost cloudy hazy yellow orange color topped by a little white head. big time savory yeast aroma... yeasty, lemon yogurt, light banana and spice. the palate is quite spicy and dry... flavors of yeast, banana/fruitiness, lemony tartness and orange on the finish. medium body with soft airy carbonation. no lactic-like stickiness in the back of the throat. this is certainly tasty and refreshing when it’s cold. unfortunately, it turns rather soapy and harsh as it warms... reminds me of freezer burnt wheat bread.
