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.

Aroma is very sweet, carbonated, some Belgian yeast, wheat, banana, and creaminess. Taste is slightly spicy. Some coriander, some spiciness beside that I can recognize. Sweet. Finish is semi-wet. Definitely less dry than a lot of wits, but strangely watery. Decent.

Again, Celticbrew brings some of the best beers! Shared with Buddy Steve, myself and everybody’s friend, the fabled Drbayern.Poured a light yellow, with lace around the top. You get a clean, banana aroma. taste shows clove, banana and a hint of orange. It was also somewhat yeasty.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with Dunk (thanks!). Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of some banana, wheaty, and spices. Tastes of banana, spices, wheat, and lighter citrus.

Bright yellow-gold with a slight haze; sudsy, bleached-white head. Great texture -- rich yet quenching and refreshing. Bready, doughy, slightly sweet malts had hints of honey. Flowery, herbal hops had some nice aromas. Delicate spices surfaced in the background. Fairly clean with a decent bit of herbal bitterness. Drying in the aftertaste. Pleasant beer.

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours a light hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is a light nice bannana. Flavor is light bannana and a light citris. Mouth feel is a soft, light body with med. carbonation. Not bad.

Nose is some banana and wheat. Bit of clove and some bread too. Pours a yellow color with a small creamy white head. Taste is really lacking....mild, moderate and I even get a bit of a corn like taste. Not the best effort of a wit.

Cloudy light lemon yellow colored body with a fine-bubbled, foamy white head. Soft, pillowy nose, nicely balanced lemon-zest yeast, creamy wheat and a mild spicy coriander note. Soft, delicate texture, rich mouthfeel, subdued flavors but orchestrated well. Some light sourness/tartness in the finish (when warm). Fairly nice beer.

Pours a light orange gold with a pillowy white head. Very archetypal American wit beer aromas and flavors--nearly indistinguishable from many other good example of the style. The light graininess, suggestions of bitter orange and spice, characterisc fermentation aromas are all as expected. If you’re really into witbiers you’ll love this. Otherwise it’s an interesting diversion from Deschutes’s regular line-up.
