A new Belgian white from Lakefront. This is the best US-brewed white I’ve had since the late, lamented Celis turned off their brew kettles for good. Rich maltiness with a hint of cardamom and citrus....not overwhelming, just right.

Damn this is good. Just about as good as what is on TV right now....FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL!!!! The first game of the year...my beloved Jets against the overrated dirty-playing Buckaneers.

Overall one of the nicest Wits I have had. Very nice balance with the corriander and orange. I am wondering what type of yeast they are using. Full of vanilla notes that dance off the tongue... Living in Wisconsin is great due to all the great breweries such as Lakefront !

Huge billoughy head out of the bottle. Light amber color and occluded with particulates in the beverage. Spicy with a hint of cinnamon, this is a excellent Wit. Excellent flavor. Definitely one of the better Wits I’ve had. Thank you JPDIPSO for this awesome beer!!!

thanks to Skyview for sharing this excellent brew. Cloudy lemon color with white head. Lemon and lemon zest on the nose with some wheat and barnyard front. Lemon, wheat, and yeast on the body. A truly excellent witbier.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Murray’s in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. Pour a semi-cloudy pale off-white brew with an average sized white head that quickly dissolves to a white ring. Aroma of citrus fruits, corlander, a touch of multi-grain malt and some spice. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonataion, with semi-sweet citrus zest, wheat malt, corlander and some mild hops. Finish has a distinct lemon zest and fruit flavor with a mild bitteness. As of today, this is one of the best American made Wits I’ve tried.

Hazy peach. Foamy, flour blotched head. Light carbonation. Coriander aroma, some wheat, musty yeast and light orange peel. Initially spicy, whew!, peppery and slightly lemony. Mellow and medium bodied. Hint of crispness. Some nutmeg/mace notes and white pepper spiciness. Finishes thicker with a more noticeable wheat flavor. Still spicy and tingly on the tongue with an interesting mix of spices. Easy drinking and quaffable. The yeast is funny, as it it’s bleach white and sits atop the liquid like flour unmixed with water. Weird, but this is a solid Witbier.
