Honey-lemon colored body with significant carbonation and a clean, sudsy white head. Nice esters and citrus in the nose plus some hay and yeast. The aroma includes a touch of band-aid as well. Tangy flavor with fruit peel bitterness to round things out. Solid.

Looks like a nice cloudy belgian white with a slew of red flakes throughout. No head at all. This smells really nice, flowers, pear, apple, slight hint of cinnamon. The flavor is so subtle and then really builds on itself. This is something that I really like. It begins quite normal with a dry sweet flavor and then builds through a pear, apple peal flavor to a slight tanginess of lemon. The mouthfeel is very smooth. There is no aftertaste but a slight apple peel flavor. Plain but quite enjoyable. I could see how adding a lemon or an orange might pull out some of the more subtle flavors but I'm not one for mixing fruit with my beer (besides bad mexican beer). As the beer warms the citrus flavors emerge a bit more. This is nice.

This is a nice little surprise. Aroma is of vanilla, spice, and citrus fruit. Appearance is cloudy yellow. To me this is very similar to a German pilsner in many ways. Flavor is slightly sour. Tastes of oranges, lemons and pears with a creamy mouthfeel. It was only $1 a bottle, so I will be back to pick up more!

Lite golden color with tiny white head. Appearance is very clear with few lines of bubbles rising from the depths of the glass. Aroma is spices, yeasty, with a tinge of alcohol and lemon. Mouthfeel is foamy/bubbly. Slightly dry finish with hints of spices - maybe paradise or correander? Nice easy drinking Belgian Ale.

Peachy yeast nose. Frothy white nose. Very effervescent. Hazy straw/peach hue. Very wit like. Very citric, light to medium velvety body. Seductive mouthfeel. Yeast, lemon, herbal, very drinkable. Refreshing, complex and very well balanced. A superb beer in my humble opinion.

Lightly hazed straw color with a full white foamy head. Citric peach, with only a hint of herbal spice aroma. Dry malt start with a true lambic finish. In between there are light fruits and farm yeasts. More yeast qualities in this than some other wits. Light sweetness with malt, followed by a bite of hops and yeast acidity. Really nice amlt backbone.

Pours a lightly cloudy golden orange, with a huge rocky white head that is sturdy and lasting, lacing nicely. Aroma is yeasty, apple, peach, slightly spicy, and some grassiness. Flavor is apple, some sourness, lemon zest, tart, acidic, and quite dry. Medium body, fairly bubbly carbonation.
