on tap. pours a cloudy yellow, sweet citrus and spice aroma. crisp hop,light malt, orange and coriander taste. dry finish. this , to me, is what i think is standard fine witbier. i am glad to see this one on tap.

Daught: Cloudy, pale yellow. Malty front with light cinnamon overtones. Not the best I had in Belgium, but quite good.

Not bad at all, for what it is. Definitely one of the only beers with widespread distribution I’d be caught dead with. Tad lemony bouquet, floral taste without a hint of bitterness. Miles ahead of, say, Allagash White, but I’d still prefer a tumbler of St. Bernardus Blanche.

Draft....in short a hazy straw color with a minimal white head that smelled of lemon zest, price and grass with a similar but slightly less strong flavor. Will work in a pinch not to memorable though.

This is a good white belgeian. Pours a murky hazy yellow, Good taste and very refreshing.

A hazy cloudy pale yellow color is apparent upon pouring with a nice thick pure white head. This is a very attractive beer. The head diminishes over the course of several minutes but leaves behind some real nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is immensely spicey, citrusy and some yeast is also noticeable. Tastes rather mild, clean, yet light and complex with the coriander coming through accompanied by the tart sweetness of lemons, apples, and pears. The finish is rather dominated by the strong presence of the spices, but is refreshing and enjoyable.

When poured out in the big glass a nice head shows up (for a white beer). Aromas of citrus and coriander. Great refreshing taste. The best Belgian witbier.

I have waited some time for a new experience in enjoying beer to come along. This is it! Very smooth, great flavor and not sweet like some others I have tried......and I can find it everywhere.
