pale yellow, slightly cloudy somewhat highly carbonated starts with a moderate amount of hoppyness, the mouthful is medium and the finish comes out citrusy and spiced, from the coriander no doubt. Not really the kind of beer I like to enjoy on its own, but would prob go very well with certain foods.

Pours a creamy gold with soft creamy head. Smells of soft citrus friut and spices. Tastes citrucy and spicy, lots of wheat, sweet and smooth. Vrey good.

Once you get past the way this beer looks, it’s actually pretty good. Poured a huge white head. The beer looks like cloudy, watered-down lemonade. The coriander is obvious in the nose. Mouthfeel was very refreshing, reminded me of a summer shandy because of the looks and how crisp it felt. The beer goes down really smoothly and has good lacing as you approach the bottom of the glass. The finish is pretty complex. It tries to be sweet, but the wheat is balanced nicely by the various spices. Only in the finish did I notice the orange peel.

Bottle. Pours hazy, lemonade yellow with thick, pillowy white head that dissipates rather quickly. Nose of lemon, coriander and wheat, slightly perfumy. Lemon and coriander taste with a solid malt background. Refreshing and smooth. Good wit-tasticness.

Bottle. Pours a witbier :) Nose is lemon, coriander, perfumed spices. Well balanced, very tasteful on the swallow. Light acidity. Good with lots of dishes.

An excellent and reliable Witbier! Crisp, juicy pour rich, creamy head typical cloudy golden color. Intense flavors of wheat mixed with citrus and pear makes for a very satisfying drink. Not too carbonated. Refreshing, great as a summer beer.
