tbopslt (168) - New York, USA - MAR 3, 2013
Pours with no head or lacing. Interesting cloudy yellow. Slow carbonation with seemingly suspended particles. Simple flavor for the class. Fairly drinkable but nothing to write home about. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Jado (279) - Camp Hill, AUSTRALIA - MAR 2, 2013
Pale straw colour in the glass, topped by a thick white head. Lots of sparkle. Notes of lemon, spice, white bread and cream come through on the nose. The taste is more lemon and spice with lighter apple and lime flavours; but I couldn’t detect any of the expected banana/yeast. Has a soft and creamy palate and a lightly sweet finish. Quite unusual for the style, but a good refreshing beer nonetheless.

Pale yellow with a tiny white head. Fruity and spicy notes. Malt, fruit and spices. Medium body with a, short bitter sweet after taste.

Lukaduke (1071) - Portland, Maine, USA - FEB 24, 2013
Pours a hazy blondish gold color with a finger of fizzy foam. The nose had some nice floral citrus notes and herbal spice. On the palate the flavors are focused and the mouthfeel delivers the beer with balance and finesse. Crisp, light and refreshing with traces of coriander and mulled spices slowly coming to the front as the palate moves from citrus forward to spicy.

LesArgen (135) - AUSTRALIA - FEB 16, 2013
There’s a lovely melange in the aroma including pine, grapefruit, spice, orange tang and butter. There are similar flavours on the palate, all beautifully in balance. A very pleasant beer.

jmgreenuk (1375) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - FEB 12, 2013
Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a cloudy yellow colour with a thin white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is fruity with a little bitter liqourice. The flavour is rich, slightly sour and with a touch of aniseed and a smooth malty palate. All things considered, not a bad witbier

12 oz. from Chuck’s. At first I thought this was just another wit. Then, when I was almost done, I was stomped on my face by orange zest. It was a nice way to finish and caused me to pump up my rating several tenths. If only the aftertaste didn’t leave my mouth feeling like morning breath...

Draught at Manchester Pub in NYC. Pours a cloudy light orange/gold color. The aroma is of oragne and other citrus fruits. Light hoppy taste with alot of citrus notes, some spice.
