Pleasant enough. Not as hazy looking as a lot of witbiers. Big white head. Honey banana and spice in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and fruity with just a hint of citrus at the finish. Sweeter than most any witbier you’ll find

nice white right here, good nose of spice, and the palate is smooth citrus and coriander. Great medium bodied choice for the mild winter.

Bottle. Nose is lime, mandarin, and lightly roasted grain; there’s also a slight floral undertone. Pours a hazy gold with a white, lacey head. Surprisingly sweet, with light phenols and more citrus. Finish is long and a touch murky. Good, but nothing special.

Damico (1222) - Royersford, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 11, 2011
The aroma is lightly sweet and refreshing with fresh herbal notes. The witbier pours perfect clear amber white with an awesome generous white head on top. The flavors of Belgian yeast and sweet wheat-like flavors go down smooth without much spice but more light herb flavor. The body is medium to heavy - excellent and not too bubbly.

adnielsen (3108) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JUL 4, 2011
Bottle @ Chad’s house. Moderately hazy, light yellow appearance with a fluffy, white head. Lots of coriander, mild orange peel, somewhat yeasty, light wheat malty nose. Light bodied, light wheat malty, coriander, spicy, citrusy flavor. Spicy, coriander aftertaste. Quite spicy, somewhat bready.

A weightier Wit, nearly the same as its airier cousins (great head of foam, lively palate, solid flavor, etc) but with a nice bit of Imperial ballast

750 ml. bottle. Corked and caged. Pours a medium white head, over a cloudy, gold (SRM 5) body....nose is light pear, apple, cereal....taste is honey, light fruits (pear, apple) with cereal, finishing with a light bubblegum/banana tone....mouth feel is on light of medium, carbonation high. This is a very malt forward Witbier (it is an Imperial per the label) with less spice flavor than many. It is somewhat reminiscent of a Bier de Garde. BJCP 7/3/12/4/7

I had this on tap into a tulip at the Map Room...Pours a nice honey lemon with a really nice head, good retention. The aroma and taste are both really nice. Light honey, sweetness, a little citrus, a break from the normal strong yeast. Very tasty and totally crushable at 7.5%, one of the best witbiers out there for sure.
