Sampler @ Liberty Steakhouse: Notes say: I can’t rate this; it’s not beer. Diluted is an understatement. I might be able to deal being underwhelmed by this beer if it was 90 degrees outside, however, this on a brisk day in December is not a good match.

#900 - Hazed pale yellow, thin white head. Very soft nose of orange zest and corriander. Flavor was in the same range and decently balanced. Thin bodied and watery, bland, spiced finish. WTF....

Draft @ the brew pub: Small, thin white head on a hazy golden body. Again, I blame lack of head on the glass. Starts w/ a sort of odd milky, lactic aroma with some wheat malt, very little orange or coriander present. Flavor starts with orange and wheat malt, well balanced w/ a lightly tart, dry finish. Aftertaste is of old stale beer for some reason; Very little Belgian character. Also has a metallic/mineral flavor in the aftertaste as it warms. Prickly, biting carbonation, but it’s got a medium carbonation and medium body. Seems to me like the Unfiltered Wheat, but with a little coriander thown in, and falls way short of a typical Belg. Wit. Incidentally, the brewer @ Liberty also brews for New South, which kegs and distributes it’s beers locally in MB. I had probably this "same" beer under the New South Label @ California Pizza a few days before and the aroma and flavor was much better, I can’t figure out why.

Wow, this is beer? Surprisingly tasteless, I had trouble finding anything to it.
