Citric taste, wheat beer. I really enjoy drinking this beer. It has a nice white head and pours a pale yellow. Awesome summer beer to drink outside

Wheat beer with almost no aroma. Easy to drink light tasting beer with base notes of wheat and some faint banana flavor.

WheatKing (703) - Oak Bay, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 18, 2013
Hadn’t had this in over a decade, picked it up on election night (spoiler alert:we won!) at the Oak Bay Hotel as they only sell macros... Pours pale yellow, extremely hazy, white lasting head. Compared to typical wits it’s a bit thinner, medium carbonation, heaps of coriander, yeast giving very dry notes. Better than most "craft" wits; then again it’s a tough style to win me over.

thebhoy (55) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 17, 2013
One of the first "different" beers I got into, and look at me now! A good white beer with a very floral/sweet flavour. Pours a pale yellow colour--very light on the palate and in taste. Certainly not going to knock your socks off, but the citrus and floral flavours are nice enough.

stevoj (915) - Ramstein-Miesenbach, GERMANY - MAY 17, 2013
Pretty good for what is developing as the leader in the field for this style. Pale and cloudy golden in color with spare head, slight citrusy hints on top of wheat characteristics. Overall light on the palate and in mouthfeel, but the norm for the style.

This is one of my favorites so far. I am really a wheat beer guy but I would buy this one as well

Mora2000 (4040) - McKinney, Texas, USA - MAY 14, 2013
Very pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is a nice mix of coriander and orange peel. Flavor is more of the same. I get some spiciness from the coriander as well as some nice juicy orange notes, as well as a good dose of wheat. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Just about the perfect witbier.

Bottle and Draught. This is a classic and a good go to beer at bars that have limited selection.

Westkyoto77 (132) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAY 12, 2013
Draught. Pale yellow, billowing clouds of froth. Light, spicy, citrusy, refreshing. Not muh depth, but it does exactly what it should. I’ve had it a few times before but this one seemed a little flat and lifeless. A great starter before lunch on a hot sunny day.
