2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 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.

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.

28h October 2010 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!
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 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.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 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.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 jonno (2013) - JAPAN - DEC 1, 2009
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...
