Had on tap at Murrays Bar in Manly. A good version of a White Ale. A well made beer.

On guest tap at The Local Taphouse, Melbourne. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, fruity zest, coriander and spices. Taste is light to medium sweet leading to a dry yeasty and fruity finish. Not bad.

Pours hazy gold with a large head. Nose shows heavy coriander and a fair bit of citrus peel too. Underneath is doughy wheat. Almost floral. Very similar flavours, more of the same except with a bit of booze and an assertive bitterness. Too much carbonation, but that’s a small fault.

On tap at The Scratch. Light amber to pastel yellow in colour with a strong steady head of white foam. Aromas of lemon, spice and fruit which filled the nose. The flavour, like the aroma, is quite fruity and there is a bit of zestiness and spice going on. This is a great beer for a hot summer’s afternoon.

Growler, this year’s version is 7.5%ABV. Cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma of banana, vanilla, coriander, lemony herbs (presumably lemon myrtle). Taste is quite sweet with _lots_ of coriander and a lemon myrtle pepperiness in a drying finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Spices linger for ages. A little lemony sourness would have made it even better. Very dangerous beer on a warm evening.

Even looks refreshing. Hazy light yellow with a nice head. Great on the palate and a spicy lemon aroma.

Bottle thanks to daveA330. Pours with a hazy white-yellow hued body with a white head that slowly fades. Aromas of lemongrass, pepper, pine, windex, tropical fruit, perfume, florals, esters and orange blossom. Flavors of vanilla, a bready malt profile, floral, rose water, orange. Very flowery. Medium bubbles, somewhat creamy mouthfeel, finishes decently dry. A tasty and somewhat different wit.

Bottle at the beermentv Hair of the Dog Breakfast at Beer DeLuxe. A little sweet for my liking, though I am very picky when it comes to Witbiers. Not a beer to be drunk with others I think.

Sweet malt hop aroma. Murky yellow colour great head and lacing. Sweet refreashing fruit flavour. Fizzy palate.

UPDATED: DEC 9, 2011 On tap at GABS St Kilda and also at Biero. Very nice beer. Aromas of vanilla, dairy, and citrus. Taste is sweet, with only a hint of sourness, and light bitterness. Palate is creamy, and medium bodied. Pale yellow, cloudy, with a frothy head.
