Was not impressed by this beer. Poured yellow with a faint head. Didn’t have much taste. The taste was wheat and some orange peel. Probably would not buy again.

On tap at the Airliner (they put a lemon slice on top, which was removed immediately, but still will affect my rating somewhat). Aroma was light, some bread, lemon/citrus. Butter yellow in color, rather clear, no head as a result of the lemon which killed it, but from memory it has a decent white pillowy head (so i am rating based on memory in this case). Good amount of carbonation feel, bread dough, light lemon/citrus flavor, zesty. Definitely not my favorite, but very alright, probably the best I’ve had of a style I don’t really care for.

From bottle. Pale cloudy yellow with a big puffy white head leaving some lacing. Citric aromas with some yeasty banana in the back. Also a hint of coriander hits the nose. Acid orange peel when first taken in mouth, some peppery coriander in the middle with a slight bitterness at the end but well balanced. Crisp carbonation and light bodied makes it highly refreshing and perfect for hot summer nights. An excellent wit which keeps a high standard.

Beautiful color, white beer. No bitterness. Faint taste of orange and corriander. Massive lacing, nice head. If this is the orginal wit bier then consider me drunk.

Good beer, but the aroma of it doesn’t make you want to drink it, neither does the appearance. Tastes much better than it smells and looks. Easy downer. So I have to re-rate. Smell is much better this time around, orange and lemon with hints of wheat and various other citruses. Appearance isn’t much better, murky orange, small white head, not very appealing but not appalling. Flavor is orange and wheat with hints of lemon. Smooth on the palate with no aftertaste. Better this time around because I think the first one was a bad tap and this was a new tap.
