Nothing can stop the Edsten tour de force. This white’s yeasty, spicy aroma begs at least a fifth or sixth whiff. The color is fine white cloudy particulate in a unique, nearing grapefruit color. It’s bright and Belgialuscious! Brewed just west of our state capital. Truly amazing. I want to meet these folks -- does anyone know who they are? I get no 411 listing for them and Google and RealBeer turns up naught. I took a digipic for the folks in the Bay Area.

Powerful yeasty aroma and taste lets you know you’re drinking a wheat beer but with noticiable spicy and earthy undertones. Full mouthfeel for a light-colored beer yet very refreshing from the yeast twang.

Impossibly light in color for a beer with this much strenght and flavor. Aroma of (sorry Joe) Old Spice, light corriander and perfume. Body is light, just a tad watery, but still holds the typical witbier flavor very well. Much better than Hoegaarten or Wittekerke.
