hawthorne00 (1889) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - FEB 17, 2011
Bottle, 4.5%ABV. Hazy orange with a modest white head. Aroma of wheat, lemon pudding, coriander seed. Thinnish body. (Over) mild sweetness, some lemon tartness, orange peel and a spicy drying finish. Pleasant and thirst quenching. The low sweetness makes it less interesting but I could drink more of this than many Wits.

davidm (1801) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 18, 2011
On tap. Not very interesting. Aromas of citrus and leaves. Taste is sweet and dry, with a hint of sourness, and average length. Palate is oily, with a thin-to-medium body. Yellow, with a persistent head.

On tap at the White Horse, Parsons Green. Clody gold-amber beer. No head. Light dry and crisp palate. Very dry palate!!! Mildly spicy malt. Crisp but tame hops, traces of grapefruit and orange. An okay beer but really too bloody dry mate!

lgklotet (432) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 25, 2010
Bottle. Left-overs from Beer Fest Asia 2010. Having tried a few very uninspiring beers from Grand Ridge, I can’t say I was going into this beer with an open mind. Turns out it’s actually a fairly decent wit. The spices are alright, got some coriander going, the yeast is a bit AWOL but nothing unexpected. Not good enough to warrant a revisit though.

ComradeK (749) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - JUN 7, 2010
330ml bottle. Pours a cloudy straw yellow, with a thin head. The aroma has notes of sweet lime and coriander. The initial flavour is mildly bitter, with hints of pear and spice. This moves into a slightly sweet finish, with hints of banana. A good witbier, from a fantastic Australian brewery. Another Grand Ridge classic.

johndoughty (3293) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - MAY 30, 2010
Bottle. Orange and cloudy. Cheese and onion like crispiness at first followed by some sourness.Flat and lifeless. Not very easy to drink and not recommended.

kahn (48) - AUSTRALIA - JAN 29, 2010
Bottle - Cloudy light color with medium head that disapears quickly. High carbonation. Has minimal citrus flavours and leaves little aftertaste.

Thylacine (526) - Tasmania, AUSTRALIA - DEC 27, 2009
Bottle - Cloudy pale yellow. Large white head. Thin to medium body. Medium to high carbonation. Sweet with a big shot of citrus. Spicy (coriander). Mildly bitter finish. Quite a refreshing drop.

Nose is faintly yeasty. Looked like a filtered weiss. In the mouth it was slightly astringent and a bit like a craft xxxx. Seriously. Nothing to write home about...
