Commercial Description:
Blond, cloudy, milky (colloïdal by cold). The cloudy appearance is created at low temperature but disappears when the beer gets warmer or when it is kept too long in the cold. Fine fruity with a scent of the used spice, coriander and bitter orange. Smooth beer, thirst-quenching but mild, slightly acidulous, powdery consistency on the tongue, not bitter

Very floral, citrusy, with a heavy dose of corriander on the nose. Pours a very cloudy white with a thick white head. Lots of corriander with citrus, wheaty, with a slight sour citrus finish. A lot of sweet citrus flavor which i like in a wit. Very refreshing here in the Fl heat!

Pours a hazy yellow color with a fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma shows notes of citrus fruit, orange peel, coriander, and some lemon zest. The flavor is much the same with the lemon zest and spices coming through with some tart flavors on the back end. Medium bodied with good carbonation and a fruit and spice finish. Maybe a little thin on the body and a touch acidic. Pretty decent for a witbier, but not my favorite of this style.

750 bottle from Whole Foods La Jolla. Pours hazy whitish golden with a large and foamy white head that diminished rather quickly. Aroma of grainy wheat, citrus, floral notes and bready yeasts and alfalfa. Very much tart wheat and citrusy flavor, hints of spice and hops. Light to medium body and aggressive carbonation. Meh...

750 ml bottle. Hazy pale yellow color with a moderate head that fizzles down rather quickly. Pretty simple, citrus orange and coriander flavors, yeast and some spices hit the palate towards the back end. I didn’t pick up the licorice. A little watery and thin with a mild acidic/spitzy mouthfeel. Refreshing on a hot day but nothing too outstanding.

Pours hazy, pale yellow colour, with a medium-sized foamy head and light body. Wheaty, hoppy taste with heavy notes of citrus, herbs and spices. Slightly acidic. Refreshing.
