Draft. Nose is spot on for style, wheat, coriander and oranges. Flavor is a traditional Belgian Wit. Orange peel, coriander with a decent wheat yeast body. Coriander seed is light, thankfully. Medium body with a sweet citrus finish.

In short: A typical brewpub witbier (wheat, bananas, coriander, etc.). Inoffensively easy to drink
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Almost clear dark blonde body topped by a small white head
In long: The relatively strong note (for the style) has bananas, orange peels and coriander. Taste is more of the same. Wheat, bananas, orange peels and coriander. Finish is a little dry. Body was a little slim (even for the style) and the carbonation could have been more lively. As expected, nothing special. I don’t know if I’m more a beer geek or a computer geek. After carefully examining the beer menu at Marthas I wanted to drink everything and wondered what font they used.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Légère odeur d’agrumes et de clous de Girofles. Apparence: La couleur est blonde voilée avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’une mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de blés et d’agrumes avec une pointe d’épices. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement onctueuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Présence de blés en arrière goût. (Rating #3151)

Part of an 8 beer sampler at the restaurant. Enjoyed the restaurant and all the beers I tasted were good though nothing really stood out. Their white beer was actually pretty good for what it is though I’m not really that into the style.

on tap-pours a thin white head and yellow color. Aroma is clove, perfumy. Taste is clove, light malt/grain, perfumy/slightly spice (saaz like) hops.

Doing this from memory. Very nice beer. nice aroma and flavor, citrus/orange. Very refreshing, great wheat beer. Definitely would have it again

A very good belgian white from a neat place. This has got to be my favorite summer style. Quite refreshing. Good work.

Sampled onn draught at the brewpub 5/20/2005 with The Motor City Beerman, ClarkVV. Pale opaque yellow with a light greenish tinge at the bottom of the 5 oz sampler, little head and lacing....huge sweet lemon meringue pie aroma, orange & cherry also present in the moderately yeasty mix...oh, alas, the flavor doesn’t keep up, very dry and one-dimensionally lemony with just a hint of iron at the finish...somewhat reminiscent of unsweetened lemonade. Drinkable, but the nose promised much that the body couldn’t deliver.

On draught at the brewpub on 5/20/2005 with Muzzlehatch. Low to moderately hazy pale-gold color, with almost a green tinge to it. Small white head quickly recedes to cover, with some lacing. Aroma is Belgian yeast, lots of lemon, light notes of bubble gum and cotton candy. Fluffy, lightly dry, with some coriander and quite a high strength (especially as it was served outdoors out of a small convex sampler glass). Flavor is mostly Belgian yeast esters of bubble gum and light clove with a bit of banana and some coriander/lemon acidity on the finish. Body is very light, thinning heavily on the finish, with a moderate amount of wateriness.

Cloudy golden in color with a small white head. Aroma of lemons, yeast and bread.Flavor is is slightly tart with a mild orange charcater and pronounced corriander.
