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.

12 oz . nice cloudy pour from bottle. medium straw color is pleasing. aroma of citrus, yeast, a little sour. taste starts a little bitter fruity but quick to fall off into a mild slightly sweet aftertaste. overall it is satisfying.

Faint clove aroma. Pours a clear hazy amber, not much head, chunky sediment. Flavor leads with clove, citrus, and coriander, moves towards whole wheat, finishes biscuity.

Pours a cloudy golden yellowish/ orange color with a very thin head. Spicy aroma with hints of citrus orange and lemon peel and banana. Very smooth and crisp with spicy pepper, lemon zest, citrus peel and banana flavor. Slight malt presence as well. Aftertast is a bit metallic and soapy though.

12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy (almost opaque) yellow/gold with a thick but shortlived white head. The aroma is mostly wheat with some citrus notes (herbal citrus - from coriander). The flavor follows the nose: wheaty and dry - like flaked, unmalted grain - with some herbal spiciness and citrus. The finish is dry and refreshing with a touch of coriander and a very light bitterness. The mouthfeel is crisp and vigorously carbonated with a medium body. Overall, a very plain witbier. Not bad, but kind of boring...

Wheat scent with a moderate fruit presence, cloudy golden color with an off white head, crisp refreshing flavor that begs for the return of summer, a tad light for a belgian white, flavor lasted adequately, overall a beer that I would pick up again on a lazy warm day.
