Pours a cloudy hazy golden colour with plenty of wheat. Citrusy and creamy on the palate, coriander seed, oranges and clean refreshing tropical fruit flavors. Aroma is pleasent but a little weak.

Draft at brewpub. Cloudy golden body, yeasty nose with citrus and coriander (and perhaps chamomile as well). Good example of style, with a yeasty body.

Shared a bottle with my wife’s aunt at my son’s first birthday. Really, I didn’t think this beer had much flavor at all, even though I tasted it several times with a clean palate. Refreshing, yes, but so is Bud Light, and I can’t stand that stuff. I was bored.

On tap at Flossmoor Station and served in a shaker. This beer poured a cloudy yellow with a thin head of off-white foam that quickly faded away. Not much lace. The aroma of the beer was made up of light citrus, orange peel, wheat, and a light spiciness. The flavor included sweet wheat and citrus with a delicate spice. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. Not amazing, but a good, drinkable wheat.

On tap in a sampler at GLB in Cleveland. Smooth, opaque straw yellow, with light clove and coriander on the nose and strong coriander flavor. Hints of the flavort as described by GLB. A remarkably good White Ale.

Bottle share by aspidites, pours hazy bright yellow. Banana clove in the nose with a bit of funk, also in the flavor. Solid Belgian wit with a bit of an orange peel finish.

Pours a cloudy light gold in color. Frothy ring of head settles around the perimeter of the glass. Initial smell is yeast and spice. There’s a lot more spice in the flavor. Some bittering hops and sharp spices. Not a whole lot of fruit flavor, but some floral notes are present. A little thin in mouthfeel, but it’s refreshing and clean.
