May 14, 2008 Sampled at the Brickskeller’s Lupulin Reunulin event with head brewer Rob Tod in attendance. Pours a cloudy, yellow white with a thin white head. Aroma is wheaty, zesty, with bananas and cloves. Very inviting look and smell. Flavor is similar, plenty of spice, cloves, banana, vanilla and maybe some powdered sugar. Finish is clean and a little chalky. Simple, fresh, drinkable session beer. Well crafted.

May 13, 2008 12oz bottle shared thanks to zinister. Pours a hazy, cloudy yellow with thin white head. This had a smell of spicy wheat and yeast. Taste was lemony yeast and spices. Mouthfeel was medium with a dry finish. Better than some other witbiers I’ve had.

May 12, 2008 ...big bottle from knightly spirits. This stuff was very impressive, and a perfect representation of the style. Nice, creamy head that lasts, and crisp mouth feel. Great spicy hints, and curaco making it true to the style. This beer was great, and I will be trying more from this company. I just need to find where to get it around here.

May 12, 2008 Deeply hazy pale ellow with a towering bubbly white head. Sweaty spicey aroma, a hint of citrus. Very wheaty flavour, with sweet spiciness and a hint of citrus zest. Dry, almost tart finish. This came across as a more austere example of the style, and I loved it for that.

May 10, 2008 tap at ft. worth flying saucer. pale murky golden yellow pour with a layer of white froth. a nice wheat/yeast scent. watery mouthfeel but quite nice and smooth with a full flavor. this is definitely one of the better witbiers i’ve ever had.
