harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Apr 24, 2006 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. BeerandBlues2 (2514), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 22, 2005 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. brentfeesh (937), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Oct 4, 2005 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. bitter (1137), Henderson, Nevada, USA Jan 2, 2006 had this at the brewery in fort collins however they called it test beer jr0805.?
yellow hazy beer with a white flat iron head. nose of citrus and spice. somehat like witt beer but with more of a hoppy afterglow. crisp and mellow. good. probably would be great on hot summer day. one of the brew staff filled up a glass with la folie and half of this...now that is what i’m talking about man. mix the two for a great fuckn beer. Davecooks (1150), Bay Area, California, USA Jan 20, 2006 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.
