Poured hazy straw/orange. Aroma of floral, biscuit, banana, coriander. Tastes similar to smell but with a slight citrus added to the mix. Nice creamy mouth feel.

Hazy yellow pour with a very fizzy white head, like champagne. Smells citrusy with some floral notes, almost like perfume. Very floral flavor. There is a delicate flowery flavor to this light beer. I would really like to sip this beer while walking around a botanical garden viewing flowers during the summer. There is also a strong presence of lemony citrus on the palate. The finish is almost like you took a swig of a very floral perfume. Smells good on my breath. This is not an everyday kind of beer, but it is pretty unique, and worth the experience.

Bottle @ B.R.A.D. Fest, courtesy of jcnielsen. Pours a bit hazy, yellow orange appearance with an off white head. Quite floral, somewhat spicy yeasty, lemon citrusy, wheat malty aroma. Somewhat tangy, lemon/tangerine citrus fruity, zesty all-spice, floral, a bit herbal hoppy flavor. Easy to drink.

Terminus (2888) - Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA - JUL 5, 2012
Tap at Bailey’s Range June 2012-pours cloudy orange with vigorous carbonation and a sprtizy white slightly rocky head. nose is big spice, corriander lemon and orange peale some lite floral aspects as well. very pleasant nose. wow, flavors really showcase the orange peal and hibiscus very well. Definitely a well made wit here-palate is sharp, but consistent with the style albiet maybe a tad thin. However, this is very nice for a session beer, if it were a bit more affordable.

It poured a cloudy yellow color with a tiny white head.. The aroma was of orange peel, citrus and some spices. The taste was very similar. A decent Belgian Witbier.
