3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
&50 ml bottle. $4 at Famous Liquors March ’11. The flyer around a neck band says serve in a wine glass. I’ll use my tulip-like IPA glass, then. Pours a very busy, foamy golden beer with a spongy white head. Nose has the usual spicy wit smell (and labels need to be allowed a nicer legal description than "malt beverage brewed with spices"). Taste is on the spice side at first. I may have let the sit a bit too long; even though the malt looks filtered, there may be some autolyzed yeast here. A touch of hop bitterness on the order of a Pilsener. The little flyer, again, says to expect a "fresh yeast" taste, I now see. Other than maybe being too aged by me, it’s pretty good. I’m still halfway through the bottle, but I still don’t see any layer of yeast in the punt of the bottle. Got a good beat, though, I can dance to it.

A witbier as you could find in Belgium and Holland. Not realy high on spices, therefor quite mellow.

Pours a light hazy yellow yeasty color with a good white head. Aroma is yeasty, spicy with hints of coriander. Sweet bready taste, with a lot of spices, coriander and nutmeg. Light body, fresh to drink. A bit sweet finish. Well it’s well made beer, interesting combination of styles and tastes. Its’ purpose is to much a nice meal on a good restaurant, and think it does it well. Just too much spicy in my opinion. And i don’t like that much nutmeg and coriander.

Bottle at Carrboro Beverage. Thanks Israel. This just tasted like an medicore pale lager to me. Looked kinda witish, but other than that it was fairly grainy, light grass, but not Belgian character at all. Maybe American Wheat or premium lager would be a better style.

Not bad at all, orange flavour and a typical witbier. Can’t complain much about this.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
750 ml bottle.
Pours a unclear yellow colour with a white head which collapses quickly. Aroma of wheat, lemon and coriander; just like they promised on the label. Flavour of wheat, coriander, herbs, cardboard and some weak citrusy notes. Light bodied, thin mouthfeel and a light wheaty finish. Flavour doesn’t live up to the expectations that the aroma set. Light summery witbier anyway.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Soft pale yellow pour with a slight head. Nose is bready with a saline minerality and herbal quality. Crisp and herbal with a slightly saline character and spice. Interesting.

Bottle at Craig’s, thanks!
Sweet honey and grassy notes on the nose with spicy wheat and yeast notes and a lemon+corriander finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
In bottle. Pours a blonde colour with a fair white head. Aroma of lemon, orange zest, coriander and caramel. Similar flavours with moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Just a little liquorice to finish. Very nice. Reminds me of a saison.
