Commercial Description:
Deschutes Brewery's summer bond Street Series offers yet another refreshing, hot weather quencher to complement Twilight Ale. This unique Belgian-style wheat beer was brewed with zested Curacao orange peel and just enough spices to keep your taste buds guessing. Our brewers tinkered with the recipe for months at the Public House in Bend, Oregon, before perfecting what will arrive on shelves in 22-ounce bottles this June. One prototype of the Wit was sampled at Portland's Spring Beer and Wine Festival in March, where it earned a gold medal.

Pours lightly hazy yellow with a large white head. The aroma has light wheat, chamomile, light wheat, coriander, honey and powderiness. Medium / light body with light carbonation that is very soft for the style. The flavor starts flowery and perfume-like with chamomile, wheat, minimal spice and merely a hint of orange peel. The finish is very powdery and gently herbal. Very nice wit.

Pours like a lager. Has a nice frothy head. Taste is light and airy. Fairly non-descript. Light floral aromas and a nice finish.

Thanks to Lexi for bringing this one back from Seattle for me. This was a decent wit, not great. A bit thin in appearance and on the palate. Kind of flat - not sure if that’s from travel or not, but doubtful. Citrusy notes were pleasant, but this one fell a little bit flat.

22oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and yellow/pale yellow color. Aroma is herbal, coriander. Taste is wheat/light malt, herbal/pepper/coriander, lemon. Soft carbonation. No banana/clove from yeast. Thanks to BitterBill.

Not much to appearance, but the layers of spices and flavors along with a vesty yeast make this average beer sing. Minimal excitement, yet solid beer, you expect something wild for a 20th anniversary, this is not it. Odd and unique flavors, all those odd additions pay off, but still fail to create a an excellent brew. Aroma is all banana/clove, but taste is all over the place, but in a good way.

22oz bottle from Windy City Liquor in El Cajon. 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.

Very light color. Sort of like a citrusy Belgian/Wheat beer. This one starts clean, with a citrus finish. I don’t love it, but it is drinkable.
