sersdf (1000), chicago, Illinois, USA May 31, 2006 i think i was surprised by both how much fruit and how creamy this beer was. don’t remember it much otherwise, and i refuse to fake a description. but i definitely thought it was a really good wit and that i should get a six pack someday. BeerBaronLS (85), Grove City, Ohio, USA May 30, 2006 Great summer beer. A bit more thin than I would like, but it goes down smooth. Has a nice long lasting head and great aroma. Probably wouldn’t drink mid winter as I would some others of the sytle, but definately a solid beer. DrBayern (1135), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA May 30, 2006 Very slightly hazy yellow, medium white head that lasts for a while. Grass and hay with some light spice in the aroma. Light to medium body, actually more mouthfeel than what I would expect, and a lively, but not excessive carbonation. Light spicy flavors with some sweet malt as a backbone. A refreshing mild bitterness with a tinge of sourness finishes it off. Refreshing, not sweet or sticky, making it a good choice for a hot summer’s day. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA May 24, 2006 Poured a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Light malt and light fruit aroma. Some spice but stays in the background. Pretty sweet flavor with fruity pear notes. Semi-dry. Aurelius (2643), Tallahassee, Florida, USA May 23, 2006 Updated: Jan 20, 2007Cloudy, mashed banana color with an applesouce head. Banana and phenolic aroma. Nice flavor profile. Well-bittered, tangy, like a wit without all the coriander. Smooth and mouthy, good body for a wheat. Quick fruity/bitter finish. Really good.
Rerate This re-rating indicates that this is either a highly-variable beer, or I’ve got a highly-variable palate. Rich, buttered bread and jam aroma. Bright light cloudy yellow, rafting white head. Dry, light bittering, biscuity, looking for a citrus wedge. Not fruity in and of itself. Light body, a bit watery, lightly bitter aftertaste. LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA May 22, 2006 lemon and ginger water, and some floral aroma. flavor is carbonated with ginger and lemon water. RCL (1443), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA May 19, 2006 Aroma is an explosion of citrus and flowers, chamomile specifically. Very good. Seems like Witbiers are chronically underrated on this site. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA May 14, 2006 Beer on the Pier. Butterscotch aroma, although perhaps that is coming from the residue of the Goose Island Rotweizen I had previously that I couldn’t rinse out because there was no water. Cloudy, pale yellow with a thin, white head and nice lace. Very interesting. A lot better than the Rotweizen. Quite a bit of flavor for only being 5.4%. Very solid and not really all that Belgian whitey.
