Very Flavorful and spicy. Nice citrus flavor along with a peppery edge.

Tap: Golden thick haze with awesome lacing and aroma. Had at the brewery, very fresh, and very refresing. Starts with banana and clove, hints of lavender and spice, some bitter hits you on the way down. One of the most refreshing whit’s i think i’ve had, an excellent brew anytime of the year.!!

I have loved every minute of finding new beers by these guys, just 15 miles away from me. They have some *very* solid offerings (Black Bier, Boffo Brown, Tres Blueberry), and a flop or two. Along comes this Belgian Wit, more in the big bold style of the Stone Vertical Epic and the Hitachino Nest than the classy, slightly understated Vuuve and John’s generations. This one is really orangey, with slight coriander and pepper, and a whole truckload of that bandagey smell that I have come to love. Flavorful, fair body, good appearance.

Pours out with a large, exploding head to a cloudy, dark, golden color in the glass. Aroma is that of clove. Taste is a typical, but tasty wheat with clove, light citrus and a slight, spicy twang present. Nicely done. A good summer beer from a very good (and not appreciated enough) Michigan brewery.

A complex of perfumey, nectarines and some spice component before it’s down the hatch. Surprisingly light bodied but with coriander/cumin. More citrus as it warms. Now it’s turned into a tripel -- the spice and citric element combined with the color. It’s undeniable. Still a bit light bodied to get seriously into. If you’re having fun in the sun and don’t mind a thrist quencher that provides a bender -- this ones for you. Truly delicious.
