Draft at RR Street. Pours hazy amber with nose of roasty rauchy malt, limey citrus, coriander. Tastes hopcitric, with rauchy malt, coriander, limey citrus, and a complex finish. This one is very unique, and the first of this style I have quaffed.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Murky orange-brown body, darker than the similar Hop 2 Wit, thin cream head. Nose of banana and clove primarily with little smoke. Body with banana, clove and modest smoked peat. Closer to a hefeweizen than a witbier. Pretty good.

Draft... Medium gold cloudy body, watery head... The nose is all wheat with some clove, no rauch at all... Taste is a bit better, wheat and cloves with a light smoke finish, interesting sweet vs smoke contrast
