Appearance: Pours a clear, pale yellow body and, even with a heavy pour, I still can’t get a head going. Smell: Spicy nose smelling of clove, coriander, and orange peel layed across some Belgian maltiness. Taste: Seemingly Belgian malts with a sugary sweetness followed by a big kick of spices, including clove, ginger, coriander, citrus peel, and star anise. Spicy hops are accentuated by the high degree of carbonation present. A touch of honey on the finish with a lingering spiciness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Well carbonated. Drinkability: Not altogether bad. Let’s just leave it at that, huh?

From a twenty-two ounce bottle Pours pale/white in color, slightly cloudy with a small almost head. Smells of lemons, fruit and malt. First sip is flowery. Very sweet and flowery but with a strong bitter finish. Light bodied with above average carbonation.

Very spicy wit. Lots of coriander, but also hints of cinnamon and a distinct nutmeg component as well. Worth a try.

(22oz bottle) Quickly dissipating white head atop cloudy straw body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, some wheat, lemon. Taste is medium sweet, lemon, wheat, light orange. Effervescent light-medium body.
