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.

TheEpeeist (2368) - Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 12, 2007
12 oz bottle. Lightly hazed pale straw with traces of white foam. Typical banana, lemon, coriander and dough. Sharp carb bite introduces lemon custard and some orange zest. A touch of Elmer’s glue in the finish.

pepsiedcan (1041) - The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA - NOV 12, 2007
Pours a murky light yellow with a big white head. Bananas and wheat in the nose. Lots of orange and banana flavor. Kind of spicy. Very easy finish. A little sweet to drink all night, but good for one or two.

ketchepillar (874) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - NOV 8, 2007
Hazy dull yellow. Nearly white fizzy head. Aroma of pale malts; slight sweetness; light yeastiness; orange citrus; nothing out of the ordinary. Taste: a little watery; yeast worked well w/ citrus, wasn’t spicy; again, nothing too interesting, but good. Finish: more of the same.

sliffy (2035) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - OCT 31, 2007
Bottle: Pours a hazy gold with a tiny and quickly dissapating white head. Aroma, lemons, doughy malts, some wheat. Flavor, lemons, some spice, tart, with some light fruits, and bready malts, wheat. Not bad.

Illini08 (541) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - OCT 3, 2007
Bottle from Duane. Bready wheat and lemon zest aroma. Just a hint of spice in the aroma as well. Flavor had all that plus some banana and subtle coriander. They did a very good job with the use of the coriander in this one. Thanks, Dad!

jgb9348 (3369) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - SEP 30, 2007
Hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of lemon, wheat, yeast and coriander seed. Light to Medium-bodied; Pleasant wheatie taste with yeast and the curacao very noticeable. Aftertaste is pleasant and calming - a good one to drink in summer as there are no harsh aftertastes. Overall, a good white, not among the best but among the better than averages. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Sam’s Liquor in Oklahoma City, OK on 29-September-2007.

12oz bottle, courtesy of Gregis. Thanks, Greg! Pours a hazy, whitish-yellow color; thin white head with patchy lacing. Bananas and yellow fruit in the aroma; slightest clove and coriander. Medium mouthfeel: lively carbonation and citrus upfront; chewy bananas and doughy notes; while there’s nothing really distinct about this witbier, it’s essentially flawless and very refreshing; satisfying malt core without becoming syrupy. Cloves appear more fully in the finish, which ends slightly dry.
