Poured a cloudy yellow from the bottle. No lasting head, but nice lacing and good amount of carbonation throughout the pour. Not to gross anyone out, but this is not a golden beer, it is a yellow beer - the color of urine. It almost appears as though there are suspended bubbles in my glass. I’m drinking from a clear glass and I’ve wiped away the condensation and it is definitely in the beer. Muted aroma of wheat. Taste is smooth and mellow. Touch of carbonation crispness. Not watery as many wits are. Very nice offering. I anticipate purchasing more of this.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with a lot of carbonation and a huge amount of foamy white head that lasts. Aroma is citrus, sugared oranges, yeasts, cloves, and bannanas. Flavor starts sweet and lemony then melds into a bitter slightly dry floral bite. Overall, I liked this much better than most belgian whites.

Bottle acqured in trade with BBB63 (thanks!). Pured a medium and cloudy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus (lemons), spices and light bananas. Has a sweet balance to the spicy finish. Thinner body (typical for this style, but thin for my tastes). Refreshing on a hot summer day.

Pale yellow with frothy film for head. Aroma is all citrus, lemon and orange. Flavor is citrus up front but turns to a floral and citrus hop finish. A little thin in body. Decent overall.

On tap at the brewery. Slightly translucent and pale yellow in color with a short, creamy white head. Smells like Sierra Mist along with some orange zest, coriander and cloves. Smooth, sweet and effervescent. Tingly banana-orange summer cooler qualities. Pale English malt and some cornmeal round out this enjoyable and unique beer.

Pours a pale yellowish gold with a thick white head that went away quickly. Orange and corriander aromas that carry strongly into the smooth taste of this beer. Tangy and sweet at the same time.

Had this one on draught in Chicago, Illinois. Decent white beer. Orangey-yellow color and cloudy, thick white head, quite malty and wheaty, with notes of sour citrus, clove and some spice. More hoppy and bitter than most.
