3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Barcade. Deep amber beer. Lovely wheaty aroma with a softly toasted maltiness as well. Light munichy sweetness with a bit of lemony citrus as well. Flavour is fairly bready, with a nice sweet toasted malt character and a faintly minerally bitterness. Fairly herbal/floral hop flavour with a lingering wheaty spiciness. A hint of apple on the back. Nice character for an American wheat.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Cloudy brown-orange with a white bubbly head. The aroma is funky - lactic, spicy, followed by apples, bread, and light toffee.
Sweet honey cereal flavour but thinning at times. Some fruit tartness and toffee caramel heft.
I liked this.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(bottle) slightly hazy orange amber. Faint spice aroma. Flavor is light spices, mild fruit, some malt. Decent enough.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Radio Maria in Champaign, IL. Pours a hazy amber orange with a wisp of a white head. Aroma is dominated by sweet orange peel, with some pale wheat malts in the background. Medium-light body with a refreshing texture and average carbonation. Initial flavor of wheat malt and toffee with a lots of orange, apricot, and melon mid plate. Not very spicy for a wit. Nice amount of residual sweetness. Clean and slightly dry finish with a hint of toastiness. This does not taste like a traditional wit, but I enjoyed it anyway.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cloudy amber. In spite of honey, I found this on the sour side---which I liked. Medium head and body. No hops.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light-hazed mid-amber. Not much of a head fades to white halo. Defined wheat aroma with a sweeter malt character and a whiff of lemon, it made me hope that this was going to be listed as an American Wheat rather than a Witbier as suggested by its name. Fizzy and a little insubstantial. Tart and lemony with a creeping hint of ABV. Not bad, but I quickly moved on to the Porter.

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours an amber/orange with a huge frothy ivory head and tons of floaties. This is a very dark American wheat, looking closer to a dunkelweizen. The aroma is of wheat, citrus, honey and spice (coriander perhaps?). Medium-bodied and smooth finishing slightly sour and dry. Round sour wheat, orange and light coriander. Tastes like a full-bodied sour witbier. Not great, not bad.
