fivehoursfree (9), Texas, USA does not count Aug 2, 2009 My favorite Wit. Nothing flashy, just a tasting refreshing Wit. No need for Lemon or Orange wedge, just enjoy the natural flavors. These guys need to start bottling this stuff. Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Jul 26, 2009 Cloudy orange. Nice wheat smell. Has hints of citrus. Nice taste! Good balance of citrus and grain. Very good sample! SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA May 23, 2009 My first beer of my 2 day getaway in Austin.. . wow, what a beer to start out on! .. I was floored by how much i liked this, with wits not being a style i usually seek out . .. Aroma is dreamy, smell fruits and light virgin perfume .. . Lacing is a A+ grade .. . light and sweet, oh so young and playful.. Pierre should be proud an amazing white is being made in TX again.. . very delicious! DewBrewer (265), Austin, Texas, USA May 22, 2009 Celis White is gone so this is a welcome entrance to the Austin market. Ok, the current Celis White (made in Mich)doesn’t do it for me. 512 apparently want to follow Pierre’s style and even Pierre loves it, so you must try this if in Austin. Great mix of coriander and orange peel flavors and aromas. What a great summer brew to have available. I think I’ll be drinking a few of these this summer. :-) BgThang (118), Texas, USA Apr 26, 2009 sitting here at the brewery with a fresh pour of this golden cloudy goodness.
Nose coriander, grapefruit, citrus, lemon, and some other spiceyness
Appearance golden cloudy with a nice head that last
Mouthfeel starts a little creamy with some hope on the backend with a little bit of dryness
A very fine brew, thanks kevin for a good solid beer for the Texas heat and cannot wait for the winter to try this again

The look is clear, golden in color, and has a decent white head. The smell is orange, coorinador, fruits, spices, and yeast. The taste is fruits, yeast, oranage, and decent. jthg (66), Austin, Texas, USA Feb 25, 2009 Updated: Aug 27, 2009The beer is not cloudy!
(The owner and brewer e-mailed me about this and it is a concern of theirs. Really awesome that Kevin cares that much about a simple thing as appearance!)
The aroma welcomes you with a bit more bitter orange peel then expected. Good. The taste finishes the orange and clove aroma very nicely. I walk away from this beer thinking it is was what blue moon should have been!
Hoegarden still has my heart!
