Jul 23, 2008 Pours hazy gold with a short bu thick white head. Orange peel, wheat, pepper, and herbs in the nose. Light, crisp taste. Lots of wheat and lemon, some banana/clove, and a yeasty funk finish. Refreshing, but not anything too special.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle.
Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing.
Body is light to medium yellow.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of coriander, lemon/lime/orange zest.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Light body, watery texture, lively/fizzy carbonation.
A decent rendition. The mouthfeel is its weakest point...lighter and more watery than most in this style, but the pleasant aroma (coriander-dominated, sure, but it has a nice yeast character and ample evidence of the basic components) and quaffable flavor balance make it enjoyable overall.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle: A bit of haze in a golden pour with a modest creamy white head. No real lacing. The aroma is mild and grassey, a bit wheaty. Dry and light hints of spice. Tastes fresh and wheaty. Nice malty feel and a small amount of hops blends well with the lighter spice presence. Clean and crisp. A nice witbier offering.

Jul 20, 2008 22oz. bottle. Poured a light hazy yellow, nice white head. Smelled of citrus zest. Spicey flavor with a slightly lemony taste.. Not a fan of witbiers, but it was’t too bad

Jul 19, 2008 Slightly hazy golden with medium head. Light citrus & yeast with a bit of pepper. Overall, light all around. Still enjoyable, just feels like a kiddie version of a good wit.

ratman197 (3139), Arvada, Colorado, USA
Jul 17, 2008 Bomber poured a very lightly hazy golden yellow with a small lingering white head. Aromas of wheat, coriander, light citrus and light yeast. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, coriander and light citrus with a crisp lingering spice finish.
I don’t know how they can consider this a Wit, it is’nt cloudy, does’nt have much orange zest flavor and no yeast character. Not a Wit in my opinion!
