Pours Like a 50/50 mix of milk and lemonade, with a thick head that takes a while to fade and leaves some lacing. Lots of wheaty citrus and cloves in the nose and some Juicy Fruit gum. Lots of citrus and wheat in the flavor with a nice fresh baked chewy, yeasty bread finish. Carbonation is strong but pleasantly refreshing and really helps thin out what may be a sticky mouthfeel otherwise. Nice and refreshing like a good Wit should be.

Refreshing and easy to drink. Very nice taste of citrus, wheat and grass. This beer has a nice natural feeling.

My rating is caused by a lack of delight in this style of beer. I only tried it because someone gave me some to try at my Homebrewers Society meeting. Didn’t like it.

Cloudy light golden color - almost white. Yeasty and citrisywith less of coriander and spice than I was expecting. Superior to any wits brewed in the United States. An excellent summer drink if you can afford it.

Bottle, wonderful white golden color. Unfiltered, so cloudy. Smooth, wheat and yeast flavors, with some citrus thrown in to give it some tang. The quintessential wheat beer.

Probably not the best one to comment on this since I don’t generally drink Wits, but this is nice. Pours a nice hazy gold with a dense white head. Clear yeasty aroma and a nice balanced flavor with a creamy, smooth body. Refreshing.

Such a great standard for Wits. It’s not too sour, not too sweet, and in my view doesn’t really take a direction as far as yeast/grain vs. spice vs. fruit. A very solid common ground - one of the few great compromises in any style
