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.

Cloudy golden color, sweet citrus aroma. Tasts a little like honey. Didn’t have as much citrus flavor as there is in the aroma. Odd mouthfeel, thicker than I’d expect from a Wit. Interesting, but I’ve had better.

This is a fantastic summer brew! It has a really nice citrusy aroma and flavor backed up with a hint of coriander spice followed up with an amazingly yeasty aftertaste. This is my overall favorite beer from boulevard and one I will be drinking for years to come.

travita (2535) - Frisco, Texas, USA - DEC 23, 2008
Golden in color with a fizzy white colored head. Cloudy in look. Aromas are slightly sweet, fruits, pepper, and spice. Thinner body. Taste is the same as the smell.

Meatmallet (126) - Salem, Illinois, USA - DEC 18, 2008
Cloudy golden yellow with a thick head. Smells of wheat, orange, and coriander. Nothing powerful, very soft.A citrus and yeast taste overpower the coriander and banana. Again nothing special.High carbonation is good but it is a bit watery and plain.

Bottle sent as an extra in a trade. Can’t remember who sent this, but thank you. Shared at the Pizza Port Bottle Shop. A mellow and tasty Belgian witbier. Pours hazy yellow color with light white bubbles. Medium carbonation and a simple, straightforward flavor of lemon and orange citrus. Easy, refreshing finish.

fordest (1954) - Santee/San Diego, California, USA - NOV 18, 2008
12 oz bottle thanks to padrefan after his trip up north (before he was rating). Decent wit appearance. Some citrus and hints of spice. Not too bad for the style.

One of the last few of a 12 pack Boulevard sampler I purchased. Pours a very light gold in color with no head forming at all. Very cloudy looking. Smell is very light lemon and not much else. This is actually, next to the Bully Porter, their least offensive beer I’ve had. Crisp, clean, refreshing and very easy drinking. Plenty of carbonation. Decent and would be great on a hot, sticky, summer day. I could drink this one again.

nose of yeast and slight funk that came along for the ride. yeast flavor keeps this beer in the game. slightly fruity and reminiscent of eggs or some other dairy product, with spicy almost weizen characteristics. palate comes across as more substantial then many other lesser wits, this is not a failure.
