bluemooner (556) - East Bethel, Minnesota, USA - OCT 7, 2011
Pours a hazy gold with a medium white head. Aroma is wheat and a lot of orange citrus. Flavor is citrus orange and coriander with almost something of a household cleaner scent to it with some wheat as well. Light to medium body with medium carbonation and nice mouthfeel. Enjoyable white.

Skyview (5031) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - AUG 30, 2009
On draught during Great Taste of Midwest 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy golden straw colored brew with a fast dissolving white head. Aroma of coriander, golden grain malt, some white pepper and clove. Taste is light to medium bodied, flavors of golden grain malt with coriander and some mild spice and lemon zest. Finish is semi-sweet with a nice coriander and wheat malt aftertaste that slowly disappears.

It has the basic flavor profile, but there are better Wits. While at Fitgers, there are better offerings as well.

grimreeser (797) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 29, 2008
ABR 2008. Aroma is of orange, spices, and wheat. Flavor is sort of bland, a light sweetness, something there I wasn’t crazy about.

ABR 2007. hazy white color. Wheat on the nose and similar flavor with a faint spice to it. A little sweet.

thomasacross (129) - Edina, Minnesota, USA - SEP 23, 2007
Draft at the Brewhouse. Any domestic brewing of a Belgian Wit is much appreciated; but I found this one over-floral. The finish is very bold, too much for me. Ultimately I found this very cloying and tough to drink in more than small doses.

Nuffield (3362) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - JUN 30, 2007
Spicy, pepper, coriander aroma--very strong. Lemon, lemongrass flavors, very fresh in flavors. Bitter finish. Not so lively but still good. Hazy yellow color. (on tap at brewpub)

JK (3989) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JUN 24, 2007
A terrible beer. It does have a good aroma with butter and cloves, like a wit should. Yellow in color. The flavor makes this undrinkable, with Lysol and citrus and chemicals. Undrinkable.

badgerben (4255) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - JUN 21, 2007
Hazy gold color with a thick head. Powerful orange aroma. It kind of goes downhill from here... the strong orange stays in the flavor and pairs well with coriander and a lot of wheat, but there is an incredible blast of Lysol and cleaner in this beer. The more I drink, the worse it gets. Infection?
