Bottle shared by Liz. Pours dishwater gold with a 4 finger foamy white head. Aroma of lots of coriander and yeast/spice. Med minus body. Flavor is lightly earthy, coriander/citrus. Finishes earthy/dry. Wit wanting to be farmhouse. Nice.

750mL bottle, split with manuchampions and uhlan, pours a murky orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma of oranges, orange peel, coriander and wheat. Begins flavourful with orange peel, oranges and wheat upfront, but then whole thing dies to a very muted orange peel and wheat note. Turns to sparkling water at the end. Decent, but sort of dull.

Bottle... Poured hazy pale, hazy, pale yellow-ish. Nose had lit fruits, passion fruit, wheat malts and spices. Dry and crisp. Quite refreshing. Vanilla sweetness, grains, earthy and grassy spices. Some floralness and a big fruit finish.

Pours a light orange. Pretty foamy. Aroma is minimal. Very banana tasting. Nice and carbonated. Some orange notes but minimal. A little spice in the middle.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Alphadelic (1483) - Portland, Oregon, USA - FEB 26, 2012
Super cloudy orange brew with plenty of white lacing. The beer is very earthy with some estery high-notes and green peppercorn hop character in the aroma. Sweet and silky. There is something like eggnog about this one, just a little something or maybe baby food. The spicing is woody and interesting. The yeast is banana-y and potent. Pretty interesting but recognizable as a wit though it lacks that citrus.

Bottle thanks to a trade from BA. Poured hazy yellow with a white head that lasted the life of the beer. Aroma was citrus, yeast, coriander, and a touch of Orange. Flavor was Orange, coriander, yeast, and pilsner malt? Body was light, fuzzy, and dry. I am not much of a wit person, but this is tasty.

750 ml. bottle (as pictured), from The BeerMongers, in Portland. Fairly translucent, with a thin and wispy head. Not turbid enough, in my opinion. Lots of wheat hitting my nostrils. It’s fairly pungent. Orange, cream, and a touch of coriander come through, too. A decent aroma. Wow, very carbonated’ it’s definitely got a carbonation bite to it, so it’s a little much, for me. Cream and orange poke through, so does the coriander. Bits of yeast flavor hit my taste buds. The flavor is quite nice, actually. The more I drink this, the more ambivalent I become, regarding the carbonation level. Solid taste, and a solid beer. Cheers.
