Can. Pours a hazy orangey-light amber color with no head on it. Nose has some citrus in there as well as a few spices. Taste is much the same, though the spices come through more there. Feels a little heavy, actually.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAY 20, 2012 Pint can from the brewery; re-rate. Aroma is slightly sweet with honey and some citrus; there is some very light tartness present. Additionally, there is some light spice, maybe coriander; hops are muted. Appearance is cloudy gold with frothy white head. Flavor matches the nose; the citrus and spice are most noticeable; tartness lurks in the background. The palate is really effervescent; you can tell Dan is a student of this style. Reminded me very much of the Belgian wits I have tried; a very well crafted beer.

11/15/2008: Great Crescent Witbier has good orange and subtle spice aroma and flavor. Both can be easily picked out, but neither are overbearing and both are well integrated into the flavor. It has a moderate level of bitterness that is probably higher than a typical Wit, but it is still quite good and works well for this beer. This golden-colored beer has a frothy, off-white to beige-colored head and fine, dense lacing. The body of this beer is medium-light and is soft on the palate. Overall this is a decent Wit.
Draught sample at Great Crescent Brewery in Aurora, Indiana. Rating #1 for this beer...
