| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 23, 2003 Light gold color. Large Head. Aroma is malty, fruity and sweet yet there is a touch of a slightly burnt undertone (?) A medium bodied wit. Malts are sweet and fruity. There are hints of orange and coriander. Rolls around on the tongue with an aggressive spiciness and lively carbonation. Nice. Hops are a touch spicy. Well balance. Lively, bright and flavorful. Very drinkable. Hope this one gets into wider distribution Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. ClarkVV (3578), Allston, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2003 Updated: Nov 7, 2003Has a lighter, pale straw color, moderate cloudiness. Good amount of white head and a crisp lemon/orange aroma.
Tastes of lemon and coriander, with some bitter orange notes and even some yeast flavors. Has a medium body and a very even, fresh flavor. The balance on this beer was wonderful, and it was able to provide ample flavor, while not being too heavy. Has the usual clove and banana but it is not overpowering. Not as much yeast or flavor as Oberon, less sweet and more balanced than Whitsun, alot like a Hoegaarden without the candy sweetness and huge coriander flavor. I thought this beer had a perfect balance between some of the heavier wits out there and some of the flavorless/watery ones. Very refreshing. Rerate. Bottle. Maybe it's just because I'm trying an older bottle versus my previous summer tap experience, but this isnt quite the same, a more sour old flavor, less body and a muddled light banana/clove flavor. Not as impressive, but I'll try it again next summer.

It is certainly a refreshing beer despite it being somewhat dry. Indra (2025), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 10, 2003 Sharp and citric aroma, some doughy yeast, faint sweetness and tart notes of orange, lemon, tangerine. Cloudy straw yellow color, diminishing head. Quite citrusy in the flavor department as well, lemony and tart, with a soft wheat and spice background. Light bodied and refreshing. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 2, 2003 Very lightly clouded golden with a small fizzy white head and soft spicy aroma. Body is semi-sweet and well balanced with coriander, orange zest, and a moderate acidity. Yet, still something is missing. bowen008 (134), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2003 Good orange, and coriander. Better than New Belgium Sunshine which has the same flavoring. some acidity. Uglyradio (775), Greenville, South Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2003 This white ale pours a cloudy golden color with a small, diminishing white head. It has a wonderfully enticing aroma of candy, spices, and wheat. It has a light to medium body with full, crisp carbonation a slightly creamy mouthfeel. The flavors burst forth with lots of orange and coriander, which dwindle in the finish, but the finish has a lingering sweetness. Very good, very spicy, and very refreshing.
