This is a lovely wit. The pour is cloudy pale yellow with a nice white head. The orange flavor is just fine; fresh tasting and not overpowering. It’s a fine drink for a hot summer evening.

...bottle. Poured a slightly hazy golden. Had the citrus notes there, and in the flavor as well. Was slightly wheaty, with some wit-like flavors, it was alright, but, nothing special, as most of abita’s stuff.

Bottle. Light yellow / gold pour with a white head and noticeable sediment. Nose of wit, coriander, and mild citrus. Medium to light palate. Taste is wheat, citrus/floral, and some spice. Decent enough.

12 oz. bottle to pint glass. Pours hazy golden with negligible head. Wheat, grass and distinctive but slight smell of satsuma oranges. Interesting. Taste is whit--sweet with lingering sweet as an after taste. Palate is so-so. I can see a couple on a hot afternoon to start a session, but not a full session. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours gold with a white head and plenty of sediment. Wheaty aroma with lemon and coriander. The flavor is similar, wheaty base with citrus and coriander. Decent.

Bottle thanks to my brother. Hazy light gold body with a bright white head. The nose has some lemons and hints of soap. There is also some bread crust. The taste is very sweet like a lemon lime soda with some wood bark thrown in. There is a hint of clove. Middle of the road wit.

Pours a hazy pale yellow. With a white head. Aroma is orange citrus and hay. Starts sweet with a slight bitter middle. What lingers tastes like orange rinds. Also a bit creamy in the mouthfeel. Not bad.

Odd witbier, its in the style, with some citrus flavour. Very foamy with medium yellow body. Spicy lemony aroma. So-so drinkability. Extra in trade.

12 oz bottle. Pours murky gold with sturdy white head. The aroma is a little bit grainy, a little bit herbal, has a hint of citrus and a little bit of bready sweetness. Flavor is crackery with a pronounced citrus taste. Clean finish is acidic and a bit herbal. A bit on the simple side, but not bad.

Bottle pours a cloudy Yellow with a short head that disappeared quickly. Aroma is light as is the taste that is refreshing. A good wit for the newcomers to the style.

Gifted to me by my girlfriend Nancy - Alright< the cloudy yellow hue and fizzy white head of foam with nice lacing seemed promising, but the light sweet wheat aroma was disappointing. Tastewise, this one is an alright, but not a really yummy, version of the harvest wheat style.
