COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed by Mikkeller at De Proef Brouwerij, Lochristi-Hijfte, Belgium.
Not just another wit bier. The style taken to another level. Strong and hoppy. The world’s first IPW?
Ingredients : Water, malt (pale and amber), unmalted wheat, flaked oats, hops (goldings, amarillo, saaz and cascade), spices (orange peel and coriander seeds) and yeast.

Beerenberger (824) - Fischer, Texas, USA - NOV 25, 2012
Strong fruity aroma with pine and citrus notes. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a mostly diminishing white head and I lacing. Some wheat is noted up front, but primarily the citrus hops takeover to provide an overriding grapefruit taste. The grapefruit continues in the aftertaste along with a bit of spice/pepper. Medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Overall, this is a crisp, clean fruit hopped wit that I would drink again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

BobFrapples (12) - Texas, USA - JUN 5, 2013
Wonderful spicy aroma. Deep golden cloudy with amber highlights. Thin but persistent head. Wild yeast flavor accented with coriander and citrus. Hops are strong but not over the top. Hard to call this a wit as it pushed that boundary right off a cliff. Very good refreshing beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Spicy citrus aroma laden with coriander. Cloudy light amber sunset. Wheaty and hoppy...much heftier than a the proverbial wit...so it earns its title. Sour and spicy initially with an unexpected hop finish. Complex and refreshing. Love it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Poured a cloudy light amber with a frothy white head. Aroma of zesty yeast, spiced mango and bitter sweet hops. Medium body, moderately carbonated, flavour of citrus and wheat, restrained to some extent, with a slight bitter end.

DiarmaidBHK (2390) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 15, 2013
Bottle from total wine Sterling. Pours pineapple with a thin white head but with lots of carbonation which leaves a lot of lacing. more hop forward than most wits and dryer on the finish. Solid.
