Aug 14, 2009 Special thanks to Northernbrews for hooking up the Bell’s 4000-8000 tasting. All great brews. This was my least favorite of the Bell’s batches. A cloudy yellow with a spicy wheat aroma. Flavor is spice and banana and more wheat. Not a terrible beer, just not up to Bell’s standards.

Jul 23, 2009 2009-07-19. Orange amber body with a modest off-white head. Aroma is mildly alcoholic, sweet sugary malt, modest spices, random fruit hints. Flavour is similar, sweet malt core, spices, are a touch more prominent than in the aroma. Dry finish after a quick touch of fruit, lingering spice. Smooth average to medium bodied palate. Pleasant, spice is a bit sharp at times. Aged Bottle via ChicagoDRI trade.

May 15, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange color with a small white head. Nose of orange, caramel, clove, spices, wheat, light fruits. Initial taste is sweet and fruity with touches of spices. Resin and earthiness makes it way on the mid palate. Finishing with a good balancing hop character. Above average palate duration and average head retention. The abv is well hidden.

May 10, 2009 Sampled on 5/7/2009. This wheat wine pours a slightly cloudy orange gold color. Medium sized white foamy head with nice retention. The aroma is orange, orange peel, cereal, coriander, honey and some spices. A medium bodied wheat wine/Imperial Wit. The malts are cereal, fruity and sweet. Kind of estery. Hops are earthy. Very smooth tasting. Perhaps a touch of funk. Hides the alcohol very well. Interesting beer. The spices are an interesting mix and the flavor balance changes with each sip. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet

Apr 29, 2009 This one is a heavily hazed orange amber with very little head. The aroma is rich like biscuit toast, bubble gum and orange. The grains of paradise come through as a mild spicing the flavor. Honestly, this does well to cover it’s strength. It’s a little too meaty for a regular Belgian wit, but it doesn’t taste like 9%, either.
