COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Boulevard’s summer seasonal is our interpretation of a classic Belgian witbier. ZŌN (Flemish for “sun”) combines the subtle flavors of coriander and orange peel with other traditional ingredients to create a delightful, refreshing summertime brew. 2009 GABF gold medal winner in Belgian-Style Witbier category.

wow, this one through me for a loop. aroma is very tangy and citrusy, like orange juice. flavor is typical wit, yeasty with some banana and spice notes. but then, it has a bitter finish, more than i would expect from a wit. honestly, i could see this appealing to IPA fans who dig that hoppy finish. very interesting.

scrizzz (2183) - Bothell, Washington, USA - JUN 3, 2009
Dry lemony aroma, ample coriander, hazy yellow and a small head. This wit does a lot of things at different times. Sugary sweet, dry wheat, a little spice and a full mouthfeel.

drpimento (1695) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 31, 2009
poured with a nice white head that mostly subsided and no lace. Color is a hazy medium yellow. Aroma is good with a spice tartness. Smells fresh! Flavor isgood also. I pick up some spice and a little malt, tart light lemon qualities along with some yeast. Body is a tad on the thin side and well carbonated. Finish is clean from the tartness. Don’t know if I’d personally want it as a session beer, but could see as how some folks would.

yobdoog (1835) - Woodridge NY, New York, USA - MAY 27, 2009
Cloudy golden color with a fluffy head. Aroma is light spice and bready sweetness. Taste is smooth and not overdone. Clean and crisp and nice.

nuplastikk (2445) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 26, 2009
12oz bottle. Hazy orange yellow color with a respectable head. Crisp, pleasant mouthfeel, well carbonated. Lots of orange and citrus flavors, coriander as well I suppose. A little too spiced if anything. Lots of yeasty character as well. This is one of the better American White Ales I’ve had.

FirmButtstone (47) - Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA - MAY 25, 2009
Not a bad wit. Hazy yellow with a nice white head and decent citrus nose. Nice and crisp, a great summer drinker. Has the nice nose of bitter orange peal and coriander. Very decent wit.

coharahawk (161) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 23, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours very hazy yellow with nice bubbly white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, orange, and spice. Flavors are pretty similar with a fairly crisp finish. A nice offering for the style and a good summer beer that may appeal to the masses.

CanIHave4Beers (2000) - Des Moines, Iowa, USA - MAY 22, 2009
Pours a sunny bright yellow, very hazy with a good effervescence and a small head. The aroma is nice, strongly citrusy with a good orange and banana character with some bread dough. The flavor had a pleasant orange peel like quality with some lemon zest and a good clover character. the beer is mildly but very pleasantly bitter and not really sweet at all, a very nice witbier.
