On tap at Blind Tiger. Pours a hazy golden with a nice fluffy white head and some good lace. Aroma is orange zest right away, with earthy phenolics good doughy yeast character and a creamy yet somewhat sharp wheat malt kick. Flavor is yeasty phenolic- bubblegum- lemon and orange citrus with a lemony twang of an acidic kick at the end- somewhat tart. Nice double wit.

750ml corked bottle. Murky orange-tan color. Picked up at State Line Liquors in MD, no way to tell how long it’s been sitting on the shelf. The carbonation seems a little low, but the smooth creaminess really works for this one. Whereas a lot of other Double Whites have a rather detectable upped alcohol presence, this one is perfectly incorporated/covered. Mild aroma as well. Sweet, light on the palate, and creamy. Bare minimal hopping. Very sessionable and delicious. Doesn’t exactly blow me away like some Belgians, but it is really quality and recommended for fans of Wits, and Belgian Pale Ales. Gets better the towards the end with the yeast poured in.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Look is clear and golden to yellow in color with a decent white head. The smell is fruity, apples, other fruits, sweet, wheat, and spiced. The taste is fruits, grass, malts, spice, and some yeast.

Corked bottle. Pours a nice, light cheddar orange with a frothy honky head. Aroma is peach melon aged in cedar wood. Full and pleasant mouthfeel. Not too shabby.

Pours a dim yellow color with a lot of bubbles and a big ol white head that sticks around. Scent of orange and wheat with an initial taste of the same with some coriander thrown in, and then I actually detected a bit of apple flavor later as well. Very light bodied and extremely easy to drink, quite enjoyable.
