| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear yellow with white head. Mild, perhaps spice fruit aroma. Not much Belgian character to it. FezMonkey (268), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 16, 2008 pours a slightly cloudy yellow with a nice white head. Aroma of banana and flavor of fruit and spices. It is a very subtle beer Beaver (596), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 16, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear(?) light golden yellow with a fine white head that retains and laces the glass.
The aroma is spices, wheat, a touch of fruits, and musty leather and medicinal alcohol with a little skunkiness.
The flavor is pretty subdued - wheaty malts, a little citrus, and some spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, not a really good wit. BOLTZ7555 (1080), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 15, 2008 I enjoyed this one...mild, refreshing, meek. A great beer for a hot summer day!!! Nice frothy white head with a pale yellow body. The aroma is banana, yeast, orange, and clove. Flavor follows the nose and is as mellow. A tad watery but I don’t want or expect anything heavy in this style. stefanje (939), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 14, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow gold color with a medium white head that lasts a short while. The aroma is musty fruits and bananas. The flavor is subtle with bananas, apple, a touch of cinnamon and spicy cloves. The mouthfeel was thin and watery. The finish was short and dry. Overall: I was not blown away by this beer, when I see the name Deschutes on a bottle I expect a tiger, but what I got was a kitten. A fairly ordinary wit. cbkschubert (1967), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 14, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a hazy light golden color with a one finger thick white head. Light lacing that lasts. Aroma is a touch of yeast, spice, esters, and herbal hops. Typical for a nice Wit. Flavor is light yeast, esters, light spice, and a touch of phenolics. Palate is a touch dry and lingering. Light to medium body. A nice Wit. junon (217), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Not feeling it. Fruit and spices not coming through and its too clear. If I didnt know better Id mistake this for a Pilsner. Seriously what the fu... apshah99 (138), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Pale white gold with frothy white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, vanilla and a little banana and spices. Very refreshing, tastes of orange and mild spices (clove, coriander) with a mildly bitter grassy finish. Perhaps could be a little more complex. This would be a perfect weekend sessionable beer. Very good carbonation and viscous mouthfeel.
