| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Bottle in Truckee, Ca. As described a nice refreshing beer. Pours very clean and bright with a medium carbonation. I would have enjoyed a little more spice from the yeast. I am always excited about a Deschutes Anniversary beer, but this one left me a little in want. bsierra (213), Vista, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 26, 2008 On tap at Newport Pizza and Ale house. Pours bright golden hue with good carbonation and a thin white head. Nose has a faint citrus and earthy note. Flavor is sweet with subtle spices and light grains underlying throughout. Mouthfeel is light and crisp and very refreshing. I found this wit to be very good and I will have it again! bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Straw beer with a whitish head. Wheat aroma with light spice and light fruit. Wheat flavor with light orange, light spice - possibly something like grains of paradise. Medium body. Refreshing and easy to drink. Wheat, grains, spice, and orange linger.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Color is a slightly hazy golden with good carbonation and a thin head. Aroma is light with a hint of banana. Taste is light and easy. Starting with a light body that goes down easy and smooth it has a bright Hefe like taste at first but fades out quickly. After taste is clean with just a faint bitterness. Overall its tasty but a little light on flavor for a White. Headbanger (1583), Aurora, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2008 22oz bottle-A hazy golden yellow with some floating strainy yeast. Aroma of banana, coriander and orange. Taste of all of the above but it seems to be a little light in flavor with all the characterstics present. A light bodied brew but I was expecting more from Deschutes. golubj (1286), Sunnyvale, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Bottle. Pale yellow, a little whiteish, a bubbly ring of film. Aroma of some sweet corn and spices. Flavor is slightly sweet corn / pale malt but significant spices linger (clove coriander etc). I don’t really like the way the spices stick to my palate. bitbucket (2031), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Bomber. Pours an unusually crystal clear pale yellow with a thin white head. Spicy (mostly coriander) and lemon aroma. Light body, active carbonation. Just a dash of fruit and orange in the taste. Dry spicy finish. I would have liked to see more lemony tartness in this one. bleeng (597), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Bomber. Pale yellow, no head and almost totally filtered-WTF?. Nose is very mild and understated with some yeast and wheat tones. Flavors are underwhelming with yeast and wheat overwhelming any other spices. Mouth is thin and very carbonated. Average at best and certainly not worth purchasing again.
