COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Berghoff Solstice Wit, named for the golden light of the longest day of the year, is a refined, Bavarian-style thirst-quencher. Made with the finest red wheat, 2-row malted barley, and the most sought-after American hops, this is a light, refreshing brew with subtle hints of Curacao orange and coriander. This was the first beer to feature the new Berghoff label design.

bhensonb (7577) - Woodland, California, USA - SEP 10, 2008
Bottle from D&J Liquor in St. Louis, MO. Hazy golden color with a very slight white head. Seems to have a light citrus aroma. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is lightly spiced citrus with some grain. It’s ok. Milder than Belgian wits.

Bottle 12 oz. Gold amber hue with a moderate head that diminshed quickly. Sweet malt and wheat aroma. Light to medium body with smooth texture. Well balanced citrus, wheat and malt flavor with small bitter bite a t finish. Very refreshing brew.

hopdog (7043) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 16, 2006
12oz bottle. Poured a light to medium, and lightly hazy, golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of lemons, coriander, light wheat, and light yeast. Tastes of wheat, citrus and very light spices. Thin and watery.

CaptainCougar (6834) - Columbia, Maryland, USA - JUL 27, 2006
Pours a slightly hazy bright golden with a thin ring of white head. Soft pale malty aroma has some mild buttery notes and a decent orange zest and coriander spice. Body starts fairly bland, but drinkable with a light sweetness and true to style spice character. An ok witbier, but nothing great.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - DEC 12, 2006
Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow blond color, thick white head with stick lacing. Nose of very light orange and coriander, some really pale malts and needs some wheat. A bit too much like mandarin extract with the coriander notes. The flavor isn’t bad, a bit lacking in body. I like the sticky starches from some wheat to be sticking to my lips. Finishes average. Surprising for Huber.

Cornfield (5277) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - OCT 5, 2004
UPDATED: OCT 13, 2004 A disappointment. This poured an orange/amber color with the faintest trace of a white head. It smells like oranges and grass. It’s a thick drink that tastes mainly like weakly carbonated orange soda. What am I to do with the other five bottles?

Drake (5231) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - AUG 18, 2011
12 ounce bottle from a sampler from Woodman’s West Madison. Pours a hazy peach color with a thin head that fades quickly. Aroma of citrus, pale wheat and a faint coriander spice finish. The taste is citrus, stone fruits, spice. Thin-medium bodied. Decent.

shrubber85 (5050) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - MAY 31, 2007
Bottle. Musty lemon/wheat malt aroma. Hazy pale yellow with minimal head. Dry/musty lemon wheat malt flavor with a hint of peach. Very nicely made witbier.

BBB63 (5023) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - MAY 6, 2004
Wow, I get to be first to rate a bottled beer! Anyway, it has a clear goledn hue with a fading head and little lace. The aroma hints of perfume and floral hops, corriander, cardamom, and lemon. The taste is better than the smell. Hints of lemon, orange, honeydew, spice and wheat. The finish is short and clean. The mouthfeel is fizzy, lively, and watery. Okay brew, nothing outstanding.
