COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Belgian Rye Wit. Those hardy immigrant gnomes who came from the venerable hills of the Ardennes to take up residence beneath the mysterious Knobs of Southern Indiana get lonely, too. That’s why NABC gave them Tunnel Vision, a potion reminiscent of home, and sufficiently versatile for consumption in all seasons — and on all continents.

On tap at GTMW (2011)

A light and refreshing contrast to the headier offerings this witbier woke up a tired palate. The caramel colored body shimmered by the rainy light. Thin legs crept down the sides. A cloudy base released malt and yeast in equal parts. Tamed by the addition of the honey and rye I think this one would be nice alongside a pizza or other meal at the brewpub.

Amber pour with tan head and lace. Light caramel malt and paper aroma. Super sweet malt with a medium bitter finish. Medium bodied and fizzy.

AndyReynolds (720) - Wilder, Kentucky, USA - JAN 16, 2010
Ok, but a little too light for a wit. It may be better on a hot summer day.

LarvalChemist (29) - Lexington, Kentucky, USA - MAR 8, 2009
Poured orange with hints of brown. Opaque and unfiltered as a wheat should be. Aroma is dominated by wheat with an almost meaty character to it. The taste is sour and exceptionally dry with a dominant rye flavor. Wheat and rye command the long finish. Wheat/rye beers aren’t usually my pint of brew but this was definitely above average.

Ohhhh wow, how great! I miss the days when this was an everyday brew. Be cautious, the name says it all. ENJOY

thedm (4783) - Fort Wayne, USA - MAR 22, 2005
This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated transparent body and a fair lacing. The aroma was mild with malty notes and the mouth feel was medium tingly with a malt hop flavor mixed with grass and corn. Average at best.

hotstuff (3350) - Indiana, USA - NOV 27, 2004
Draft at Rich O’s in New Albany, IN. White head, fair lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a yellow golden hue. Aroma was malty, hoppy and sweet. Sweet, lightly bitter, malty and hoppy flavor. Smooth, dry mouthfeel. Medium bodied beer.

Lubiere (8335) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 29, 2004
(draft- Indiana brewers fest) Hazy light golden beer with a nice banana and spice aroma. Excellent warmth from alcohol and pleasant sweet malts and coriander with bubblegum. Well balanced.

atpayne (615) - Zionsville, Indiana, USA - AUG 16, 2004
From the Indiana Brewers Guild Brew Fest- 7/31/2004. A bit cloudy and on the light yellow side. The aroma was fairly yeasty with a citrus bitterness emerging just before my first sip. The flavor was a bit spiced or herbed and then quite yeasty.
