Bottle. Pours hazy corn yellow. Aroma is malt, chamomile, banana, and clove. Flavor is definitely weak compared to the aroma. Taste is faint; wheat, chamomile, and banana. Not complex.

From a bottle in Cleveland! Pours a hazy straw yellow with a nice lingering head. Flavor is complex with fresh sweet fruits, yeasty! This beer grows on you. Not awesome, but worth a try.

Bottle (12oz). Hazy yellow-gold with a large, lasting fizzy-foamy white head, decent residual bubbling; in my Hacker-Pschorr goblet. Typical belgian wit aroma - softly spicy, candyish malt balanced by some lemony tart fruit, nicely yeasty. Taste is quite similar, spicy, yeasty, very lemony, has a bit of a sting in the finish. Body is a little watery, has astringency and sharp but not over-assertive carbonation - pretty decent, nicely on-style, IMO.

via trade with OhioDad - Pours a golden color with a slight haze. Nice head and light lacing. Big spicey, bready aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet and fruity. Smooth light finish. Light to medium body. A good beer. Thanks Scott.

Bottle courtesy of OhioDad. Best before 19 Oct 06. Poured a slightly hazed golden color with a white head. The aroma found bready wheat and spices. The flavor follows along the same. Light and crisp. Not bad for a warm day beer. Thanks Scott!!

Bottle: Slightly hazy golden color. White head. Aroma was spicy (corriander), some bready yeast notes. Flavor had a light breadiness to it, some more of the spiciness. Also a bit fruity. Very drinkable and quite refreshing. I’ve always liked this one.

Poured with a very huge head that laced and sustained itself well. The aroma was spicey, orange peels, and some coriander.... the combination made me think it was gonna be sweet. Flavor was bitter orange peels with a lot of coriander, perhaps too much (no candi sugar). There was a zing to the hops, yeast, and spice combination that was kinda neat (but almost something slightly rotten in the orange flavor). Mouthfeel was probably a bit too carbonated, but moderate to heavy for the style. Decent job, somewhat unique approach (kinda like Am. Wheat is to a German Wheat), but I’d take several within the style over this.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy yellow with an average white head and good lacing. Aroma of lemon, cheese, and mustiness. Mild flavor of wheat and light citrus.
