I must admit this was quite tasty, and I am generally not a big fan of New Belgium in any way shape or form. This pours seriously like grapefruit juice, almost white, and very cloudy. Aroma is sweet and tea like, with some really nice background fruitiness, and that is followed by a very pungent hop aroma. Unfiltered and nicely hoppy iun the flavor, with just a hint of chamomile coming in the background. Nicely done.

Draught at New Belgium. Pours cloudy yellow with a creamy medium white head, excellent lacing. Definitely looks like a wit. Fragrant aroma of chamomile, lemon zest and floral citrus hops with background yeast. Bitter citrus hop lemon flavor that finishes smooth, very drinkable. Light and clean, refreshing palate.

I really enjoyed this and so, just had to rate it. Poured a whitish cloudy urine yellow with minimal though lingering head. Had a great spicy nose of fresh, crisp hops. Wonderfully crisp hop flavor (spicey:grassy-fresh hop leaves) light spice of chamomile. Bitter but well balanced. Simple and Good. Medium body and mouth feel, slightly astringent finish. Though some people thought it smelled/tasted soapy I disagreed. I really liked it.

On draft @ Barclays on College. Murky yellow color with wit colored hues. Sizable white head. There was almost nothing in the aroma maybe slightly phenolic but nothing else. Slightly sweet, spicy flavor with the chamomile really coming out. Slight banana notes as well. Dry aftertaste with no hop presence.
