Deep golden color......very hazy......almost completely opaque. Pillowy, white head that fades a little fast. Very faint citrus aroma. Spicy notes with hints of clove up front......smooth mouthfeel for a wheat, yet still has a noticeable crispness. Sweet, very citrusy back, with a slight tart finish.

This beer is good not anything spectacular. But can definitely throw plenty of these down in a night and still feel like a champ.

12 bottle: pours cloudy light brown with decent white head. aroma very bland and malty, flavor somewhat watered down no real taste to pick up on other than malty. not a very good beer its sad to see the belgian name used so carelessly.

Big name, big reputation but pretty blah overall. No real aroma to speak of. Decent wheat flavor.

On tap at the local unnoteworthy bar. Pours orange with a small white head. Served with an orange slice, which made it hard to pick out the aroma, but I assume it was nothing special. Not many specific tastes to pick out--some spices, a hint of wheat. Easy to drink I suppose. Not really a good example of a witbier, but better than the pale lagers it’s served alongside of.

Shaker from a bottle. Poured a hazy orange-yellow color with a nice white head. It has a very citrus smell and taste. Overall, I like this beer and it is pretty much my fall back beer when I can’t get anything new to try.

Bottle Pours a cloudy white with a foamy white head. Aroma of malt, banana, orange, wheat and spices. Has a wheat, sweet taste with spices for the flavor. The sweetness is very artificial and injected and does not seem natural. Still somewhat decent for a Coors product, probably their best.
