Commercial Description:
Deschutes Brewery's summer bond Street Series offers yet another refreshing, hot weather quencher to complement Twilight Ale. This unique Belgian-style wheat beer was brewed with zested Curacao orange peel and just enough spices to keep your taste buds guessing. Our brewers tinkered with the recipe for months at the Public House in Bend, Oregon, before perfecting what will arrive on shelves in 22-ounce bottles this June. One prototype of the Wit was sampled at Portland's Spring Beer and Wine Festival in March, where it earned a gold medal.

pours an opaque pale yellow with almost no head. A drinkable at best wit beer. Nothing bad about it, but also nothing remarkable.

This yellow beer poured with a generous white head and a floral aroma. It’s nicely spiced, but a bit thin.

Murky dark yellow with a modest layer of lively foam. Aroma of wheat, coriander, light lemon and orange, Flavor is subtle citrus, wheat, banana, and spices with a slight floral/earthy hop bite near the end. Texture is watery with biting carbonation that is interfering. Overall, a crisp and unoffensive witbier that lacks depth in flavor, but perhaps decent on a hot day.

Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow with fizzy white head. Biscuits, sweet malt, orange peel, floral hops, and coriander. Citrus, wheat and sweetness... quite drinkable and a good summer beer.

22 oz bomber purchased at the Wine Store on Water Street in Port Townsend, Washington. Pour is hazy yellow white, a slight greenish tint with a one inch white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of wheat, lemon citrus, earthy hay and coriander. Some slightly sweet yeastiness in there as well. Nice nose. Taste is wheat, spicy coriander, lemon lime citrus and a great grassy hay graininess. All really well balanced. Perfectly bright taste and clean finish. This is a very tasty wit. Please make this a regular lineup beer, it’s amazing.

Light loose bubbly white head. Light yellow. A bit hazy, but not loaded with yeast like some wits are. Not overpowering aroma, but nicely light and pleasant. Fresh spices in the flavor. Nice light body. This could easily be used as a lawnmower beer on a hot summer day!

Clear yellow amber pour. Thick white head that follows all the way down. 22 oz bottle. Big bubbles. A bit of citrus and banana aromas. Light and creamy body, more bananas and wheat. Good summer drink.

~Pours a light cloudy yellow color with small to medium sized creamy white head. ~Scent of wheat coriander and yeast. Slight citrus. ~Spicy wheat taste with mild banana. Kind of gets a slight flavor of vanilla when warmer. Can’t really taste the orange peel, maybe a little. ~Light creamy feel. Clean finish ~I think this is a good beer. I like the fact that it isn’t like a typical witbier. The fact that it isnt real heavy with coriander makes me like it more. Very refreshing and enjoyable beer.
