On draft at Proletariat. This is a wit brewed with a small percentage of peat smoked malt. Fairly dry & lightly astringent, with a little clove, coriander, and lemon peel. A good summer brew with a pleasant floral aroma.

Draft. Pours hazy golden yellow with a white head. Lightly smoked wheaty base, light flowery notes, some faint peachy fruitiness, and a relatively dry finish. Nice.

On tap at Proletariat. Pours a hazard gourd with a large white head. Soft smoke some grain with s bunch of musk. Gentle musk with some musk and hints of wheat. Lingering wheat not much smoke, tasty enough.

Tap at Proletariat. Full haze straw pour. Webby, dense lacing. Fresh Berliner style nose with yogurt, lemon, baby powder, fresh diaper, vanilla. Taste is quite hoppy, herbal, bitter, yogurt and powder. Not very smoked but comes across as hoppy Berliner. Nice.

Tap at Alewife Queens. Pours hazy yellow with white fluffy head and light peat nose. tastes of smoky peat, peaches, white grapes, wheat, cardboard, leaves, and banana. carbonated and refreshing and not overwellmingly smoky.

UPDATED: OCT 8, 2012 Peat-smoked Belgian White. Growler from brewery. Very pale hazy beige with white head and lace. Mild coriander subtle smoke and fruity peach aroma. Mild spicy fruity wheaty tangy subdued sweetness and underlying smokiness with some lemony citrus. Clean tangy smokey finish. Nice light effervescent body. The whole thing comes together great, probably because I love smoke beer and Belgian wits. The perfect summer beer. Wish it was summer. Excellent and innovative. Love it.,
