RHeastings (218), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA May 18, 2009 Enjoyed via 12 oz bottle in a pub glass. Pours a hazy light yellow, with a cloud-white head. Aromas of spices (coriander and citrusy orange) come through in the nose, but not nearly to the extent of examples such as Hoegaarden. It is relatively simple and straightforward on the palate - malt up front, with hints of the aforementioned aromas as flavors on the back end. Overall, a solid, if simple, example of the style. yobdoog (1021), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Apr 22, 2009 A nice cloudy pour. Spices are a bit too much and take away from flavor. Some light peachy fruity essence. Adam77 (402), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Apr 13, 2009 Poured yellow with a white head. Aroma of fruit. Some fruit. Light flavor. Watery. esjaygee (1260), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Apr 11, 2009 Pale yellow saturated with floaties akin to hot tap water into a glass and a soapy white head. Aroma is very herbal, that chamomile takes over. Behind it are coriander, yeast and malt. Taste of coriander, bitter fruit peel and coriander. Finishes up with a dryness that spreads throughout the mouth. Just to darned herbal to be enjoyable. Interesting? Sure – but beer shouldn’t remind me of hand lotion as this one did. shawnm213 (539), South Bend, Indiana, USA Mar 30, 2009 holy moses. bottle. fruit spice. belgian wheat beers aren’t my favorite type. WakeandBake (366), Greenville, Michigan, USA Mar 29, 2009 Bottle. A cloudy pale orange color pour with a thick fluffy white head that lasted quite a while. Pleasent Belgian yeasty aromas of banana,light pepper & coriander spice,maybe some candi sugar aromas.Flavor has all of the same characteristics of the aroma but is stronger on the coriander and has some orange peel in there as well,nice wheaty malt backbone,light hoppy bitterness is noticable in the end. The feel is light and well carbonated,flavor is quite balanced. This is a darn good brew,too bad they have retired it. kcmo19 (10), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA Feb 12, 2009 This was a very solid Witbier. Had a pretty good citrusy hop flavor and aroma. I don’t think I have ever had chamomile in a beer before, but it definitely worked for the better. milljam (500), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Jan 31, 2009 Wasn’t really a fan of this one. The spices seemed to be a bit overwhelming. Was not as refreshing as I thought it might be.
