4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JUN 30, 2008 Bottle. pours a murky gold with a fluffy white head that doesn’t go away. Aroma is spicy yeast, bit of citrus. Taste is wheat, crisp citrus and coriander, spicy yeast - classic for the style, but fairly big. Finish is dry and yeasty, with a lingering spicy tartness. Mouthfeel is light but creamy at the same time, never watery. Delicious.

Pours a cloudy lemon color with a nice white head. The aroma is spicy, sweet and fruity.
Flavor is light crisp and perfect for summer.

Have had this several times over the years and find it to be quite enjoyable and consistent every time. I like the grainy nose, has that strong breakfast cereal wheaty nose. Loads of delicious spice, coriander and just a hint of clove. Light and nicely balanced, with a very pleasant mouthfeel.

Bottle purchased at Sam’s Wine and Spirits, in Chicago. Pours a cloudy pale straw with a fluffy white head that leaves behind sticky lace. The nose is just about my ideal for the style: full sweet wheat, orange peel, spice (coriander, perhaps a touch of grains of paradise and white pepper) and a light candy sugar note at the finish. Light-bodied and soft without feeling thin, it finishes just a tad tart and dry. A nicely balanced wit with notes of sweet wheat, citrus and light coriander. This is a very solid witbier and is among the best that I’ve sampled to-date. I wish I had picked up more of this one.

Hazy yellowish orange. Fairly light bodied and full of citrus, wheat and yeasty flavors. Approaches hoegaarden, but not quite there.

12 oz. poured into tumbler- poured semi turbid faded golden orange, white ring around the glass for a head with a small amount of lacing, low carbonation. Aroma of pepper, lemon, tangerines, lime, and bananas. Hits the mouth with a low medium body, many of the aromas translate averagely in taste, malt is detectable after some searching, finish is crisp and has some spice.

Bottle. Thick white head. Hazy bright yellow. Lacing. Nice bright yeast character with lots of citrus, spice, pepper, basil, coriander, and fellel spices--lovely. Solid, clean, soft moutheel with good amount of chewiness. Nice peppery body. Substantial and filling. Great malt backbone and high level of quality and complexity.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice medium head. Nice nose of citrus, spice and banana. Great thirst quencher on a hot day. Flavor is spice with definite citrus. The banana on the nose is found on the finish.
