Bottle pours a clear golden color until you get to the yeast at the bottom of the bottle and chunks of yeast transform the brew from clear to cloudy. Has a yeasty aroma with some spice. Has a light mouthfeel. Taste is crisp and has a smooth character. This is exactly what I expect for the style. Overall it doesn’t have a lot of complexity I have had in other brews for the style.

On draft @ Coles, Buffalo NY. Pours a very plain , slightly hazy yellow. Mild wit aroma of spice, lemon, coriander &b flowers. Very easy drinking wit. Enjoyable but not complex as some Ive had

Witbeir is generally not one of my favorites but I really enjoyed this one. Poured a hazy yellow. Medium body with a grainy fruity taste. A really nice beer.

Bottle form Canals. Typical cloudy pour you would expect from a Witbier. Mild aromas of bread, spice and citrus. A banana, yeasty finish. It’s easy to drink but nothing that blows you away.

Sample at West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago, Great Lakes Tasting. Hazy yellow/golden color with medium white, foamy head. Aroma is all citrus and spice with sweet malt. Flavor is very much along the same lines with some grain and banana as well. Light to medium bodied with a okay carbonated fizz. Pretty in-style but at the same time still lacking something that I can’t quite put my finger on.

Pours a cloudy gold with a nice white head. Nice aroma, mainly citrus and coriander. Flavor has a little more coriander then the normal Belgian Whites. Decent beer, but nothing amazing (not my favorite style either).

Bottle... Very cloudy yellow ale with a small, wispy, white head. Decent retention. The grainy, breadsy aroma reveals esters of banana, lemon and lime interwoven with mild coriander and smoke phenols. Light-bodied and a touch creamy with fizzy carbonation. Actually leans on the bitter side of balance, despite a good bit of sweetness from the unmalted wheat and pale malt(s). Crisp, grainy, moderately sweet finish. Thanks a ton to StFun for the brew!
