Tap at brewery. Pours hazy yellow with a medium, fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is wheat, citrus, coriander, and flowers. Flavor is spicy wheat, citrus, coriander, and a dry finish. Light body, warmth, and carbonation.

Pours very pale yellow and slightly cloudy with a small white head. Aroma shows lemon, orange, and a lot of coriander. Spritzy carbonation keeps things lively as you enjoy this well crafted traditional wit beer. Finished lightly tart.

Pale gold with fluffy white head and lace. Light yeast and a hint of paper. Sweet malt and no bitter. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Very drinkable.

on tap-pours a retaining white head and slightly hazy straw color. Aroma is mild grain. Taste is sweet grain, hint of a bite. Light body. More American wheat?

Hazy golden yellow body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet spicy aroma with some tea-like notes. Grainy flavor with lots of spice and some orange and spice. Light body with moderately high carbonation. 7/2/7/3/15 - 3.4

Sampled at the Virginia Beer Festival. Hazy pale yellow, nice head. Coriander aroma borders on medicinal. Flavor is wheat and coriander. This was a bit thin. Better than I just made it sound.

Draft:Faint malty aroma with lemon notes. Hazy yellow, some lacing. Very malty for a wit with only a light flavor of coriander.

Served on draft at the brewpub. The overwhelming lemon aroma that hit me as the sampler arrived prompted me to ask if this had lemon in it. It did not. Pours a hazy lemon yellow color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is faint citrus, mainly lemon, with toasted malts and faint spice. Taste is wheat, huge citrus notes and light spice. Slightly syrupy texture and medium bodied.

Cloudy straw pour with a pillowy head that leaves soapy lace. Some residual wheat and yeast to the nose. Decent flavor on this, and well-integrated. Nice wheat and lemon, with a wheat/grain finish. Not overtly complex, and an interesting choice paired with their main food offerings.... but not bad for an American "Belgian" wit.

I actually liked this one more than the other B&B beers that I tried. Doesn’t have the crispness of a Hoegaarden but is certainly comparable to wits made by US brewers.
