DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Dec 11, 2008 Bottle. Strong lemony aroma. Cloudy yellow body, small white head. Flavor is spicy, medium sweet, and lots of lemon citrus. Refreshing and flavorful. doubleo (1096), San Diego, California, USA Dec 8, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy, straw yellow with a very small, white head. Smells light and crisp cereal malty with a hint of spice. Tastes crisp and and sweet malty with light citrus and light spice. Very nice brew, tasty and refreshing. Medium body, good carbonation. EnSiFeRuM (501), Quebec, Canada Nov 20, 2008 Bouteille de 330 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur paille très voilée et un col de mousse modeste et durable. Au nez on découvre des arômes de blé, de levure fruitée, de clou de girofle, de coriandre et de cannelle. En bouche le corps est moyen-rond avec une effervescence faible-moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de blé, de coriandre, de levure, de clou de girofle et de cardamone. Les épices sont très bien balancée. weezfour (122), Oradell, New Jersey, USA Nov 1, 2008 Loved this beer. To be honest I am partial to this style, but I really couldn’t find anything I didn’t like about it. Pours light and hazy. elihapa (1033), Honolulu, California, USA Oct 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours very light, probably yellow with orange tints. Flavor is of soft flowers, clove, vanilla and sugar. A strange beer indeed, given its subtlety and ambient sweetness. Finishes with more prominent wheat and spice notes, all the while maintaining sweet backbone. tarheels86 (700), Washington DC, USA Oct 30, 2008 330 mL bottle. This was a disappointment after all of the hype. Pours an unfiltered, hazy, bright yellow with a thin, white head. Aroma is typical witbier: cloves, coriandor, orange peel, and lemon plus some yeasty notes. Taste has a kick of bananas like a good wheat beer. Still lots of spice. Refreshing with a lingering aftertaste of citrus and yeast. Palate is watery and thin. Overall a good witbier but by no means an excellent example.
fidel (882), Livermore, California, USA Oct 29, 2008 Updated: Nov 18, 2008Hazy golden yellow, smooth, citrus, yeasty, little grainy, little spice, little bannana. jeckenroth (81), Charlestown, Massachusetts, USA Oct 26, 2008
Pous a hazy amber with a long lasting white as snow head.
Lemon, coriander, and a hint of spice greet the nose upon inspection.
Watery with good carbonation.
The taste is exactly what you would expect from the smell. The citrus dies into more of a bananna flavor with some background spice. The long aftertaste pokes some hints of wild flower honey.
Good but not great. Average Witbier that would be enjoy able in the summer with some seafood or in the winter to cut the spice of a nice Thai curry.
