3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle in a tumbler. Pours light golden with a thick, white head. Aroma of pale malts, wheatiness, light grapefruit, and some floral hops. Strong malts for a witbier. Average texture. A really good beer in this style.

750ml corked bottle pours a golden color with about a finger of white head and a few spots of lace. Aroma is mild citrus and hops. Taste is light malty sweetness with some citrus and spice and a mild hoppy finish. A decent representation of the style, but nothing spectacular.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml corked and caged bottle into a Hoegaarden tumbler. Hard to believe this is a summer seasonal. The label is tailor-made for Halloween. Brutal! Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a medium white head that falls into a tenacious skiff of foam fairly quick. Aroma is clovey, nutty, wheaty. Taste is mostly sweet, but it turns briefly tart and bitter mid-palate and finishes dry and meaty, much like burnt witch flesh. Highly carbonated. Nice one to drink leading up to All Hallows Eve. Now I’m going to put The White Album on the turntable and listen to Revolution 9 backwards.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml. bottle- Pours hazy pale golden with a huge white head. Aroma is coriander seed and wheat, some apple. The flavor is spicy, wheat, coriander and pepper, and mild hops. The body is full, carbonation is mild and medium. Overall I really liked this beer, one of the best wit biers I have had.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Strong aroma is wheaty and yeasty with a hint of citrus. It pours a lovely clear solar yellow with a thick, if not too persistent, white head that leaves minimal lacing. Firm, wheaty flavor has a yeasty undertone and hints of citrus and grass. Body is a little above average, especially for a wit, and the fizz is firm and persistent. I managed to get one of the bottles with the controversial image of an auto-da-fe. Could this become a collector’s item?
