Deeply hazy - not quite cloudy, though. Pale tan colour, limited white head. Aroma shows lemon, coriander, wheat and grapefruit. The flavour is very citrusy - orange, grapefruit and lemon could all easily be inferred. It is bordering on being overtly sweet, but thankfully doesn’t cross the line entirely. In fact, the citrusy notes go to another level, a little bit of yeast kicks in and this works to provide a quenching, off-dry finish. Light-bodied and refreshing - a beginner’s wit that still holds some interest due to the lack of any hoppiness and the overt, wide-ranging citrus character.

Cloudy bright yellow colour and a thin white head. Coriander, wheat, lemony citrus, and a slightly sour aroma. Flavour also shows bright citrus, spice, and yeastiness. A thirst-quenching easy-drinking brew.

Bought this fall 2004 at LCBO. Hazy white with a thick creamy lacing white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast and lemony coriander. Creamy mouthfeel, sweet and smooth. Notes of bananas and light spices, lacking in depth. OK white.

Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy at Smokeless Joe. Poured murky pale yellow-orange with a small white head. Aroma - whoah, bacon! A belgian wheat and I get BACON?!! Also citrus, ashy belgian wheat character, coriander, fruit - quite different. Taste is not of bacon, but there’s a smokiness here, also plenty of spice (coriander, black pepper), citrus (lemon), some light sweet malt, light hops, cereal grains and a floral/perfumy finish. Mouthfeel is quite spicy and lively. An oddball belgian witbier, but I really liked that smoked bacon character.

very corriander wheat ale, with orange to give it flavour. OK Wheat beer with creamy mouthfeel and medium texture. Some smoke and astringency. Needed 3 other mates to finish.

Pleasant light wheat aroma, some fresh yeast. Decently sized white head, slightly cloudy, gold. Very nice, very soft, plenty of malt and wheat grain. Medium bodied, very drinkable nice light wit.

2009-02-13. Hazy pastel yellow, small white head. (3+) Sweetish aroma, light floral, yeasty. (6+) Similar flavour, sweetish, light florals, touch of honey. Average to light palate. Pleasant, very drinkable but on the mild side.7/3/7/3/14 - 3.4 Bottle from LCBO

Sept 200X - No coriander which is a bonus. Not really citrusy either... decent beer, pretty drinkable 5/3/5/3/11 - 2.7
