Absolutely without a doubt topnotch superb wit. Orange peels, coriander, Belgian yeast. Heaven.

They got this one pretty much right. Spicy, aromatic, a little creamy. Nice year-round. And a nice way to drink in honor of my favorite beer store!

Well, since this beer is now brewed by Millstream I should rate this too. I have had this beer a few more times since the original rating and I still enjoy this beer quite a bit. I usually have it with tacos, and I think it is a good match. A great beer, the best example of a great witbier.

One of the finest examples of a belgian white I have ever experiened. Bought it with tacos, probably not the best combination, but still not bad. Great citris and coriander smell, great smoky beige in color, very well balanced. Great all-around.

Pours a light amber color with a slight haze. The head is large and rocky and leaves a sticky lacing. Aroma is fruity (bubblegum and citrus) and spicy with an earthy background. Mouthfeel is light; crisp, and effervescent with a light hop finish. Flavor is light and sweet with fruit overtones and a well paced light hop finish. Damn good. A pleasant surprise.

Very interesting. My first impression when this poured was ’Did they mean for it to be this color and clarity?’ An obviously unpasteurized gray Belgian Wit, I took one whiff and knew it was gonna be good. Real good. Spicy, very yeasty in all the right ways. Doesn’t have the heavy orange peel and coriander of some, but it delights in its differences. Great malty body. Great beer. Seek this one out. If John’s ships again, I’ll buy this by the boatload. Kevin, great call!
