BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA May 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy light yellow with a small, rocky, white head, somewhat lasting with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (meal, cereal, straw), light hop (grass), heavy yeast (earth) with notes of banana and lemon. Light bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Short duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. yobdoog (1425), Woodridge NY, New York, USA May 1, 2009 Cloudy bright golden color. Aroma is a bit faint, some spice and wheat and yeast. Taste is light with some spice and yeast with some citrus and grainyness. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear bubbly gold with a small white head. Aroma of spices, malt, wheat, lemon. Taste is crisp, lots of lemon, wheat, and spices. Lingering crisp spiciness. Great carbonation. Pretty nice. PJClarke (609), London, Greater London, England Mar 18, 2009 Crisp, clean and very light with a large cloudy white head Rounded yeast aromas followed up by citrus as expected. Sweet and crisp. Citrus and banana on the tongue with a sweet pulpiness. Bready cereal flavours stake their claim on the taste buds also. Crisp and smooth with a slight tongue tingle. A good wheat beer. Sweet, crisp and clear. Highly refreshing. arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Feb 18, 2009 It was nice of deschutes to offer two new beers for their 20th anniversary this summer. I’ve had the XX so now I’m drinking the wit. I’ll start by saying that while this is not a clear yellow like a pilsner it doesn’t seem nearly as cloudy as what I have encountered with other examples of the style. It smells really yeasty and the flavor is more yeast, hints of spice and pepper and pretty refreshing. Overall, easy to drink but there are better wits.

Grainy wheat with some spicy yeast character in the aroma. Very grainy flavor with a light fizzy body and mouthfeel. Some spicy yeast flavors. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jan 16, 2009 Bottle on 11/19/2008. Rather clear, golden body wtih a small off-white head. Sweet clove, vanilla, light saaz aroma. Sweet saaz flavor, light spice, some vanilla and light grain. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.
LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 31, 2008 A decent witbier, but not up to par with this brewery’s reputation. Aroma was very weak. Lemony with a hint of orange. Pour was a decent light gold with a 1 finger white head. Taste was nice but plain. A hint of citrus with some light sticky malt in the aftertaste. Nice carbonation carries the flavors and brings out a hint of corriander.
