I guess that it is a realitivly new brewer it is pretty good, but, I have found german wheats to be much better.

This is my least favorite wit, thus far. It was heavily spiced and I didn’t detect much fruity esters or much else other than light fruit and overwhelming coriander. Extremely pale in the glass.

First of all, what stood out for me was the overall quality - this may not be a beer that I would have everyday, but someone obviously put a lot of care into making it. A very nice combo of ’fruity’ flavors kept it interesting with every sip. very nice.

Very pale, just hints of yellow in the glass. Cloudy as expected. Fine nose, very spicy, some candy also. Flavor is very spicy, lots of lemon zest, bubble gum, banana, and yeastiness. Nicely carbonated, crisp and fizzy. Will become a standard warm-weather brew in my future.

This brew had a fruity flavor to it.

The predominant aroma/taste I got from this was apricot. The beer had a nice tang to it, naturally cloudy, and not too carbonated. Could have been a bit more yeasty in flavor, perhaps a little more hops. Just a bit too watery. Overall I enjoyed it.

American brewing companies are just never able to adequately brew belgian whites. This is one of the better ones, but still lacking in the spiciness and the finish is just not right. Too yeasty...

I don’t know why I keep trying wheat beers, because they are just too fruity for me. It is probably a good version of the style, but I just don’t care for it.

I have to defer to Wit experts on this one. All I know is I liked it; it was light and quaffable, but still a nice taste challenge. The taste was not one-dimensionally pine, nor licorice, but a mellow combination of those. Very grassy. Good stuff, and thanks Jayme_9874.
