This was a very boring beer. It didn’t taste bad, but there was nothing special about it. Though I tend to not like Belgian whites anyways.

I first had this ale at the Coors brewery in Golden Colorado,It has a sweet but fruity taste very refreshing. The hostess at the Coors brewery said it is usually served very cold and with a slice of lemon to bolster the already fruity taste.

K-V-F-L (292) - LaVista, Nebraska, USA - AUG 18, 2001

Slightly above average, but better than most American Wits I’ve had. The fact that this comes from Coors is mysteriously obscured on the label. Refreshing, especially from the folks in Golden, CO.

Too fruity and sweet. This stuff tastes unnatural. Of course it is made by Coors, so what can be expected.

Oh, how I miss Celis. This one runs riskily close to alchopop. The overwhelming fruitiness tasts unatatural and seems to be there to hide its lack of depth. I will drink it asgain as my local just replaced Sam Adams with Bud Light, this is now the only drinkable beer in the place.

Decent white but the mega-giants turn it into a soft drink. Just too much of everything. Not bad, but not good.
