Ahem, where's the nuages? If I don't see some clouds in my wit, it's a problem. Slight citrus - lemon, lime. Vague spice flavours. Palate shot when I had this? It's unlike Great Lakes to produce such useless beer.

argo0 (10388) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 30, 2005
(12oz bottle, best by 9/27/04 -- darn, i need to do a better job of looking at dates when i visit stores out of town and see dozens of beers i have not tried before) Pillowy big white head atop hazy straw body. Aroma and taste are the same -- medium sweet, herbal, coriander, lemon. Smooth medium body, some crispness, light acidity. As hoppy as any Belgian Wheat I have tried -- interesting that the side of the bottle says it is a Belgian Wheat, but the front description leaves out the word wheat. No complaints though -- this is an enjoyable and rather drinkable beer.

Bottle. I enjoy my stouts and porters so drink of a Belgian was a pleasent change. A cloudy amber with a rocky medium head. Aroma and flavor of wheat, fruit and sweet tone. Medium body with complex but short finish with hint of banana. Good spring brew with light meal.
