3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. The pour reveals a slightly cloudy yellow color with a medium, creamy, white head. The aroma has a solid presence of wheat with some lemon and mild spices. The flavor is solid, the lemon is more up front than in the aroma, there’s still a good wheat presence with some yeast and spices. The body is full with a creamy texture and mellow carbonation. A very fine wit bier.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml, labeled Batch #44. Pale, hazy gold with a large head that settles into a lasting ring and leaves meringue all over the glass. Light aroma of yeast, peppery citrus, and slight bubble gum. Same stuff is more pronounced in the taste. Almost seems like cinnamon in the way aftertaste. Light body is soft, dry, tingly and astringent. One of the best Wits out there.

On tap Tria, Philly Beer Week. Nice cloudy straw yellow pour, light and summery, hints of lemon, some crispness. balanced, refreshing.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz Bottle. Crisp yeast and bread dough aroma, spritzed with orange oil and light spice. Pours an opaque pale sunshine yellow. Little head. Nice prickly carbonation. Flavor is a very soft, smooth quaffable cool wheat water. Winter wheat oils, lively yeast and accenting spice notes. Even on the palate. A light, older hop floral figure in the back. Heavily drinkable and paired nicely with smoked salmon bruschetta. A good rendition.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle. Hazy onion skin yellow with minimal head. Banana and spice are prominent in the aroma. Clove and coriander seem to be the dominant spice. A fairly “thick” smelling brew. Spicy, yeasty flavor with hints of sweetness are what you will get on tasting this one. Sweetness provided via banana and clove. Fairly wet mouth feel and crisp body. Not a huge fan but this is drinkable.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours (from a bottle) a nice golden color with a full white head, leaving a film behind on the rim of the glass. Very refreshing light bodied beer with a bit of spice. Not very complex but still works. Overall a decent beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Beer and Wine Boutique in Placerville. I’m not a huge fan of Witbiers, but this one was an improvement compared to ones I’ve had. Very limited carbination, although it has sizable head. The flavor was odd, and I couldn’t place it, largely because I had about 2 oz. to taste. It was ok.
