3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap: Pours a lightly hazy copper with a thick puffy white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt with a hint of spice. Body starts nicely sweet and full with a well balanced coriander and orange citrus flavor. Smooth and drinkable, with decent complexity and good balance. A very nice Dogwood beer.

Golden hazed wit with a thin white head. Aroma of coriander and bananas with light oranges. Light wheaty malt with light orange notes. Lighter bodied than Blanche de Chambly. Trade with Goldtwins, if I remember. Tasted Spring 2006.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Medium orange gold color. Small to no head. Aroma is orange, coriander and lemon. A light to medium bodied white. Malts are fruity, with lots of orange and a ton of coriander. Light and refreshing, kind of grassy tasting. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Might have been a little bit old, carbonation was kind of flat.

Thanks to aracauna for the trade. This is definitely one of the best Wits I have tried, even if it is not the best example of the style. In fact, many of the elements in a more classic version of the style that I do not enjoy are not a factor in this brew. Pours a murky dark orange with a thin off-white head. Thin lacing. Nicely spiced aroma, with some citrus and vanilla. Light and crisp with a nice citrus aspect, along with yeast, cloves, coriander and other spices. The finish is sweet and lingering. Tbis is an outstanding brew for summer enjoyment.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy light golden, small white dishwater like head that quickly diminishes, lively carbonation, with fairly sticky lacing. Corriander, slight pear, and spices on the nose. Flavor doesn’t come across as a Belgian Witbier tho, moreso like a slightly thick spicy pilsner. Mouthfeel wasn’t as wheaty as a Witbier should be, and the body was fairly average. Subtle spices, unsweetened, on the finish. Very minor wheaty mouthfeel appears at the end. Thanks goes out to goldtwins for the trade!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had on tap at the Mellow Mushroom in Chattanooga. Light golden color, cloudy, decent sized white head. Fresh fruity aroma, , thick mouth-coating mouthfeel. Fresh, citrusy flavor -all in all refreshing.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. For a wit, it seemed i bit maltier that I really care for. Taste was clean though, with a light yeasty dough taste. Mellow citrus and a slight bit of coriander flavor. Very refreshing but again, just a tad too sweet for my liking.
