Jul 31, 2008 22 oz. bottle - pours clear and straw gold; white head quickly fades to thin film; aromas of sweet bananas, wheat, grain and lemon; nice texture with slight carbonation; flavors are smooth and finish dry and fruity; some honey there too; aromas a little on the weak side and missing that white ale bite, but very enjoyable

Jul 31, 2008 Tap @ Ham’s and bottle via Naven. Easy drinking wit. But aren’t they all? Not your typical Hoegaarden style wit. Perhaps a US wit style is emerging? Clear pour with the expected aroma and flavors and finished pretty clean. Definitely toes the line between a wit and a good American style hefe.

Jul 30, 2008 On tap at O’brien’s. Pours with a light golden body topped by a medium thick, white head with a good amount of lacing. It’s citrusy, grassy and wheaty wtih bitter notes and light sweet notes. Light bodied, crisp and a touch dry.

Jul 27, 2008 I simply expect more from Deschutes than this, especially when it comes to a special beer or a 20th Anniversary in this case. This is really on the husky side, with little to no body to it. Pours a clear golden coloring with lots of bulles screaming to the surface. Simple aroma with some light spiciness, but overall very tame. Has more of a spicy pilsner body, with a bit of wheaty cereal grain maltiness coming through in the aftertaste. Overall disapointing.

Jul 27, 2008 Pours clear, light honey color, with a thick, pillowy head. Aroma of orange and lemon zests, belgian yeast, and bright spices - coriander and a bit of nutmeg. Flavor is very light, adding wheat to the notes of the aroma, but it has no punch. I can see this being a great refresher on a hot day, but it tastes a bit diluted, and the carbonation is a bit weak for anything claiming Belgian inspiration. Good, but not great. I’d take Hoegaarden over it any day.

Jul 26, 2008 Creamy orange peel aroma. Coriander, anise, floral belgian yeasts, moist earth and fresh cut wheat.
Anise + coriander spicy flavor along with lemon/orange citrus. Yeast and wheat are subdued. Has a good bitter floral yeast character.
Easy going palate has a satin texture and a dry whisper finish. Warm citric astringency. Restrained bubbly.
A good beglian for a US Micro brewery, I’ve had too many over done ones. Underated.
