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.

Bottle. Pale yellow, a little whiteish, a bubbly ring of film. Aroma of some sweet corn and spices. Flavor is slightly sweet corn / pale malt but significant spices linger (clove coriander etc). I don’t really like the way the spices stick to my palate.

I like wit but this was either too old and lost its character or it was just a little light on the orange and coriander. I am used to drinking them fresh homebrewed so I suspect it was half a year old or more. A boring lightly spiced wheat beer. No Belgian yeast character whatsoever.

Bottle pours a cloudy straw color with a medium size, well lacing, white head. Aroma is light citrus, wheat, and banana. Taste is slightly sweet with light acidic notes of lemon & orange zests, hints of clove, coriander, and wheat. All of which are very light and complementary. Lively carbonation and very clean finish.

Bottle courtesy of golubj; poured a cloudy yellow color with a short lasting white head. Aroma of wheat, straw/earth, banana, with only the slightest hint of spice. Probably more spice than most in the flavor. Lacked alot of great wheat flavor; not much banana. Pretty dry flavor. Fairly disappointing

I actually thought this was a lot better beer than the ratings here show. It isn’t anything special as far as a 20th Anniversary special release is concerned, but it is a good beer. Pours a hazy gold (actually one of the lighter beers I have drank in a while). Thin white head. Nice wheat, lemon, orange flavor and aroma. I could actually see drinking this a lot on a warm summer day. Unfortunately, I live in Illinois and I won’t see those for a long time now.

Bottle. Murky and light yellow with a white head. Wheaty aroma with some spicy aroma notes. Light bodied. Slight spice. An earthy malt flavor. Very bubbly. Nice.
