12 oz can from Suttree. Pale straw yellow pour with a small white head, decent lacing. Aroma of coriander, wheat, wit spice, mild orange. Flavor is nice, subtle. Typical wit notes. Lots of well-rounded notes of wheat and coriander. Light bodied, refreshing. Solid amount of carbonation. Finishes dry and refreshing. Nice wit here from North Carolina! Very cool to try.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2012 12 oz can. Hazy golden with a lasting quarter inch of meringue foam above. Nose is lemon peel, saltine crackers, honey and a hint of dry grass. Taste is the same with some additional coriander. Light body is softly carbonated and fairly well balanced.

bhensonb (7581) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 7, 2012
Can from Bruisin Ales (4.7% ABV). Pours hazy gold with a creamy/foamy white head. The aroma is zest, and seems more lemon than orange. ? Near medium body. The flavor is zest (still seems lemon) with wheat and a touch of sage. The wheat is actually flavorful. This is way better than most American wits I’ve tried. I think it’s underrated.

A nice lite flavored ale. Fruity notes. Would compliment most foods. I’ve. Tried two of this companies brews and liked them both.

Hussey (13) - North Carolina, USA - MAR 13, 2012
12 oz. can from Bruisin Ales. Lucid yellow pour. A bit concerned, poured like a pissy macro. The aroma changed my mind. Nice citrus-lemony waft. Very nice floral notes. Tasted like a "neutered" little Belgian brew. The high abv has been yanked out. But it is very quaffable. The finish was very much like that of a lightweight Belgian. Easy drinking lawnmower beer. Cool graphics on the can also. Resembles like some R. Crumb-esque art.

Draft at Carolina theaters. Pours yellow with a thin white head. Not much on the nose or tongue. Pretty bland for the style.

7/18/11 white zombie @ bier garden asheville. Hazy sunshine yellow w/a white head. A is dusty, lots of spice, lots of orange, some straw. F is the same but orange and fruity sweetness are more pronounced, some vanilla, and savory. Spicy finish. Dry, crisp and prickly. 7/3/7/4/16/3.6

unclemattie (3350) - Georgia, USA - AUG 22, 2011
Growler from Bruisin Ales. Pours clear yellow, white bubbles. Aroma of lemongrass, citrus zest, wheat malt, and rubbed coriander. Flavor of lemons and full of wheat malt, a bit of whole coriander taste as well. Light bodied and totally refreshing. One of the best and the most refreshing Wheat Ale I’ve ever had. So glad there is a half gallon of this stuff on my fridge.
