(Draft) Sampled at the 2011 Great Canadian Beer Festival on September 9, 2011. T-H-R-E-E W-O-R-D-S: AWFUL WATERY GROSSNESS!

Bottle from Point Grey, Vancouver
Cloudy pale bond color with a greenish hue, and small head. Light aroma of roasted coconut, coconut butter and mint, then some feet. Light body, dry mouthfeel, with a pleasant coconut ice cream flavor, combined with some crispness and light lemon. Strange but drinkable.

Bottle. Cloudy gold with medium head. Some lace. Mild banana aroma. Taste includes banana, clove and I swear orange peel. Mild hops. Didn’t perceive any coconut in the taste. Seemed pretty much straightforward witbier flavored to me.

650ml bomber pours a pale golden orange color with a small white head that leaves very little lacing on the glass. Aroma is mild spices and yeast. Taste is light malty sweetness with some citrus and spice with a mild bitter finish. Light body and decent carbonation. Not getting any coconut notes at all. Ok beer, but nothing special.

Clear pale yellow, thin white head. Spicy citrus wit aroma. Light citrusy spicy malt taste, coriander stands out. I guess that faint, strange taste that I can’t identify is supposed to be toasted coconut. Softly carbed, low hopped. Thin odd finish. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)

Hazy very dull beige and a little bit of frothy head. Light coriander and vague malts on the nose. Vaguely malt-accented, with light vague fruitiness and light spiciness. Not really getting the toasted coconut.

Nose of wheat lemon coriander orange and coconut. Natural interesting. Hazy yellow orange pour nice white head. Flavor initially wheat quenching clean orange coriander lemon and a fresh coconut note oin the finish. Refreshing and unique.

Bomber. Pale dull ochre yellow. Stable head. Lively carbonation. Lots of rising bubbles. Aroma is surprisingly not artificial. Smells more like wit than coconut with lots of sweet yeast and vanilla cake, is very refreshing on the tongue. Light and lively. The finish is very nice and toasty although I don’t get coconut. Pretty dry but finishes a little sweet and sticky. It’s thin but really not that bad and I appreciate the restraint on the coconut, in fact, it’s got none to speak of, which means that it doesn’t have the artificial flavoring or aromas I was expecting. I think it’s pretty nice even if not the mosti sophisticated beer on the world.

Bottle split with mcberko. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of toasted coconut and sugar. Flavour of toasted coconut, sugar and sparkling water. Muted flavours and watery.

650mL bottle, split 4 ways, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of lemon peel, light coconut, and wheat. Flavour of coriander, coconut and lemon peel. Watery and lacking in complexity. Not good at all.
