Commercial Description:

Good solid introduction to the classes of beer outside of BMC. I enjoy the light taste, though the bready feeling makes me want to change brews before I "get full". Not too much to say, some wheat, a little citrus and that’s all there is. I’d recommends for anyone who wants to get someone drinking something new.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a nice, large, off white head. Taste and aroma are of wheat and citrus. Is fairly sweet. For the price, this is a really nice beer, that is very easy to drink and enjoy.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Pretty dull, but drinkable white beer.

2008 Bottle - Pours cloudy tan with a small white head, bready citrus aroma with some spice, this beer was a bit of a surprise...I had it years ago and thought it was piss...slightly better this time, decent spicy grainy beer...light but with substance, I probably won’t drink this again because there are about 1,001 wits that are better, but better than expected...

RateBeer Rating, Style and Glass: 46, Belgian Wit, Tumbler, Weizen ABV, Volume & Calories: 5.4 % in 22 fl oz. estimated at 300 C Purchased at: Martin’s in Waynesboro, VA for $2.49 Aroma: minimal, citrus, snow. 6 out of 10. Visuals: cloudy, orange, white persistent head, okay lace. 4 out of 5. Taste: wheat, banana, mold. 7 out of 10. Palate: slate, medium finish, sweet. 3 out of 5. Overall: Not quite as good as other macro Belgian styles, such as Hoegaarden. I’ll likely have it again, since it’s everywhere. It’s not a favorite. 13 out of 20.

On tap. Hazy orange body with a creamy white head. Fresh, fruity aroma with citrus. Flavor is fruity, spicy and quite typical with some orange and a sharp bitter finish. A nice one from some of the big one.

My first Belgium white. Had it at Ruby Tuesday’s. Not sure I could really get much aroma out of it, but the taste was pretty good. Very much citrus-orange like to me. Clarity was kinda cloudy like. Not bad.

Draught at local dive bar. Looks nice in an artificial way, like a woman with breast implants. Very thick and very white, I repeat very white head atop a hazy golden body. Fruity aromas. Watery body. Soda pop sweetness becomes more insipid with each sip. A disturbing Franken-bier that tastes and feels like it was conceived and concocted in a laboratory.
