Tallahassee, Fl. - New Leaf Market - 12 oz bottle. Murky, bright yellow appearance, spritzy white head. Aroma of yeast and lemon, somewhat fresh. Flavor has lots of spiciness to it - detect corainder; lemon accents, some yeast and a bit of cake mix. Just the right amount of carbonation and spritzines in the mouthfeel. Pretty solid American wit.

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 oz bottle. Murky, light golden pour with a thin, soft white head. Grassy aroma, hints of spiciness, sprig of lemon. Flavor has some of the same essences that were found in the aroma with a decidely lemony bent. Hints of cloves and bubblegum as I near the finish. Good textured mouthfeel. Middle of the road Wit.

Nice, tastey summertime beer overall. pours a light and cloudy golden colour, little white head, and very smooth. Plenty of wheat, grapes and pear flavors. Not overly wheaty, but very pleasent and attractive.

Milky yellow with thin white head. Aroma of orange, lemon, spice, yeast and something medicinal along the lines of ben-gay or flex-all. The taste is overpowered by the medicinal aspects of it and it was tough to attempt to finish the beer, I had to pour it out in the end as it was not tolerable anymore. The beer itself was watery and had flavor of lemon, eucalyptus and muscle relaxer.

Yeasty lemon and clove aroma. Hazy yellow with TONS of sediment, no head. Heavy clove flavor, little else. Lemon grass finish. Mediocre and seemingly tainted wheat, but decent tasting.

12oz bottle-A hazy yellowish pour with a lot of floaties. Has a small white head. Aroma of citrus, orange, and spices. Taste of this light bodied brew comes across with flavors of the same along with some cleaning solution. Not the best wit in the world but would of liked to drink it fresh.

Bottle. Yellowish white pour with consistent head. Citrus aroma evident. Taste is very weak. Was hoping for a more robust taste to match the aroma.
