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 yellow with a small head. Citrisy taste that almost reminded me of a lemon fruit drink. Slightly tart with a mild spice aroma.

IrishBoy (3265) - Bakersfield, California, USA - AUG 28, 2008
12 oz bottle from Kaggie97! Thanks Kevin! Nose of wheat, yeast, bananas, light cloves and nutmeg; murky yellow with a small yellow head; flavor more spiciness with some pepperiness, yeast, and some light sweetness and very light bitterness.

Soonah (1120) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - AUG 23, 2008
Poured a hazy gold color with a short lived, fizzy white head. The aroma was plenty of lemony citrus and faint spice, malt and yeast. The flavor was tart, cut with some yeasty dryness and some light sugary malt. The mouthfeel was thin and light. An easy drinking summer beer.

hayduke (2445) - Eureka, California, USA - AUG 13, 2008
From a 12 oz bottle this poured a hazy yellow with white head and good lacing. Nose of citrus, banana, and coriander. Mouthfeel is light and zesty. Flavor is very much like ripe citrus fruit and the finish is light and dry.

Shag (2229) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - AUG 10, 2008
A cloudy yellow apperance with a moderate white head. The aroma is full of citrus and coriander. Some lemons, spices, and bready notes present. The flavor is a bit tame on this with some orange peels, spices, and lemons. The aftertaste is slightly spicey. Overall not a bad wit but nothing amazing either. Good summer beer!

Trev (1424) - Lakeville, Minnesota, USA - AUG 9, 2008
pours a hazy straw colour with a thin bubbly white head. Aroma is strong corriander spice, yeast and citrus zest and banana. Flavour is again corriander and lemon-orange citrus. Light clean finish.

RollinHard (951) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - AUG 6, 2008
Pours cloudy straw-tan with a small quickly dissipating white head. Aroma lemon zest coriander, sourdough, hay, but it’s only slightly funky, like a cleaned up Belgian wit. Actually, the aroma has a lot in common with a couple New Belgium beers. Tastes lemony at first, followed by grain, coriander and grassy flavors and the yeast pungency is just too light. Finishes really really easy and clean, just a wee bit of grain flavor lingering. Very light bodied, but this feels slightly fluffy, perhaps from the wheat. Carbonation is high, but creaminess isn’t really there. This is okay, but witbiers, even other US versions can be a lot more exciting than this.
