my first taste of wheat beer. Interesting flavor, I usually don’t like a sweet flavor in my beer, but it doesn’t take anything away from the overall flavor of the beer. not the sort of beer I expected to enjoy, but I did.

Does not taste much like a wheat beer. Too smooth and lacking tartness to be considered a Belgian witbier. Not bad for what it is, but it ain’t Belgian.

This beer’s been sitting in the back of my fridge for a while; I’m finally giving it the attention it deserves... White head, light-golden color, slightly hazy. Head seems to fade quickly. Crisp, although not overly effervescent. Has a ’clean’ and ’fresh’ taste. Curiously, it starts smooth and wet, but then finishes a little dry. I only detected a slight bitterness. Coriander and orange peel are far in the back. A little bit of Golden Delicious, maybe. Very delicate hop aroma was enjoyable, but I had to go ’looking for it.’ Good beer, but I yearned for heavier ’Wit’ qualities; maybe more tartness, a little less sweet in the malt, and stronger hop aromatics... but I’m just being picky. It really is a pretty good beer.

One of the clearest wheats I have seen. Nice orange peel, almost lemony taste, with a decent amount of malt. Nice malt aroma. Will have to stock up on this for the summer.

This beer is nothing like the wit beers I have had in Belgium. This was thin, lacking in the proper phenolics for a true Belgian wit beer. They should call it a wheat ale with a little citrus character added.

UPDATED: DEC 28, 2003 my favorite, and in my opinion, by far NBBC's best effort..i dont know what is about it, but this beer tastes so clean....ok, i've retried this on multiple occasions, and i still believe it deserves over a 4..just great stuff.

One of the very best of the wheat beers. The orange peel really comes through. Highly recommended.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2007 Golden yellow color, slightly unfiltered, appropriate carbonation and head. Flavor profile is a bit sweet, with the citrus and spice flavors mingling well with the light wheat flavors. Orangey-lemon and coriander finish. I like witbiers, and even though this isn’t too Belgian-tasting, it’s pretty good anyway.
