A: The beer pours a very pale and very cloudy straw color with a white head. S: I definitely get the wheat out of it, but that’s about where it stops resembling a witbier. A mild spice, but not really any coriander notes to it. Maybe ginger? Not all that sweet or bready, either. T: Quite citrusy for a witbier. Lemon zest and perhaps orange peel, too. The wheat is again present, but not a dominant flavor. I seem to pick up ginger again. Floral hops and cracker malts are also there and this beer is really very dry. M: The body is fairly light with a pretty high level of carbonation and a bone dry finish. D: As a beer this wasn’t bad, but as a witbier it really missed the mark. Pretty easy to drink, though.

I had this on tap at Bootlegger’s Brewery in Fullerton, CA. This hazy yellow pour had a mild amount of spiciness. It would be good on a hot day.
