160ml can courtesy of Presario: Poured a slightly hazy white/golden color wit with a medium bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma of wheat and coriander is clearly detectable. Taste is quite refreshing and full of wheat with some hints of coriander. Body is fuller then average as well as carbonation. Quite good and refreshing for the style and I totally dig this (new for me) format.

Cloudy yellow color, thick white head that sticks around. Coriander, orange peels with Belgian yeast in the nose. Light sptizy mouth that intially reminded me of Hoegaarden to a tee, but it a bit sweeter and there is more orange character. Really good. I like this much better than their regular wit. This is one of the better wits I have had.

New beer from Ginga Kogen. This and it’s partner "Black Shot" come in tiny 160 ml cans, there’s where the "Shot" part of the name comes from. As for the beer: A straw/banana color, slightly hazy with a white head. Good Wit scent, corriander/spice some citrus. Banana and spice, wheaty and "dusty" tasting. Ginga always does a good job with wheat brews.
