I love the flavor of this beer - the spicing is unique and the appearance is great for the style. Hints of orange, coriander and sweet malt. Good stuff.

i like witbier, especially when it is from Belgium. So, witbier from coors? Wow, lets get my low expecations going. What is this? Not horrible. So, was it the fact that this beat my low expectations or is it actually a decent beer? I’ll give it the benefit of a doubt. not bad, not bad at all.

Poured a strange light orange color. Aroma was not very good, it reminded me of cheap beer. Taste was pretty good, with notes of wheat and orange. It was a little watered down in my opinion however. Overall very drinkable.

... I hate to admit it, but this is still one of my moderate favorites. I have had this many times, on draft and in the bottle, so maybe I have accustomed myself to the taste. Either way, it has nice citrus notes, that go great in a pitcher with orange wedges. Cloudy and unfiltered, with a light head, this is one of the best mass produced Wits other than Hoegaarden.

i like the orange-y smell of the beer, and i like the color and appearance of this cloudy drink. but the flavor is a little odd. it tastes like cheap beer infused with orange peels and spices. its a little bitter and painfully unbalanced. on a side note, don’t waste your time with the orange slice they serve with it at the bar, it just reinforces the orange peel flavor and detracts from the beverage as a whole. all i have to say is "meh".

Oh man, I hate this beer! I love white beers in general, but this one for me is pretty bad. I taste a high amount of clove, orange, and some other things that I can’t quite place. Every time that I have had this, I could not get over the awful after taste. Do yourself a favor - grab a Hoegarden instead to sample a true white beer.

Pours a cloudy amber, with a fizzy white head. Not much aroma. Flavor is of the standard Wit variety (citrus), but a bit too sweet for my taste. Palate is light and fizzy, leaving me a bit gassy.
