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.

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.

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.

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.
