Commercial Description:
This Select Special Edition Summer Ale is an unfiltered and refreshingly smooth white ale. It is brewed with malted barley and unmalted wheat. This wheat ale features a blend of spices. A hint of orange peel and a twist of lemon makes this ale a thirst quenching experience you will savor!

Pours a murky vibrant yellow with white head and small floaties. Great nose of clean lemons. Flavor is a bit medicinal and astringent. Medium bodied. Fair.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Beastiefan2k. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big white fluffy meringue head. The aroma is spicy with pepper, thyme, soap and a bit of citrus. The flavor is citrusy-soapy with a bit of funk. The mothfeel is full and malty. The finish is long and slightly sour with lemons. Overall: A very interesting wit, and a good summer beer at that. Recommended.

Nice label. Gold brew with scent of spices, honey, lemon, and a little skank. Taste of wheat, lemon, and clove, with a citrus aftertaste. Has a certain homebrew character to it. Enjoyable, but not fabulous - I have had better from this brewer.

12oz bottle. New "White Ale" label. Slightly unpleasant artificial wheat aroma. Excellent thick, yeasty appearance. Wheat, mild citrus and vanilla flavors collide. Not a perfect example of the style, but I think it has more character than your typical American Wit. Lemony watery smooth finish.

Pours a slightly hazy yellowish-orange., with a white head. Aroma is slighlty spicey with notes of lemon and orange. Flavor is moderately spicey with some low levels of hops.
