3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Blonde and completely clear, plenty of carbonation, strong orange and limonene on the nose. A hint of TCP perhaps. Plenty of citrus character (not unpleasantly so), some corriander and that pervasive phenolic character perhaps from the yeast. Pretty light in body, I can imagine it would go well with food but on its own perhaps a little too citrussy.

Sampled at SBWF. Stockholm, September 30th, 2011.
Tick and rich aroma packed with wheat, bananas and spices. Soft on the nose! Smooth body with wheat flavours, bananas and cream. I miss the fruity notes...

Thanks to GT for sharing and travlr for bringing this back from the other side of the pond. Cloudy, straw golden with a small steady white head. Nose is grainy, some lemon, citrus. Flavor is slightly spicey, more grains.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Wit used to be my favourite beer style from around 1999-2002; this is reminiscent of how I recall those days of Hoegaarden, Brugs Wit etc. Nice lemon, chalkiness and fizz which provides dry freshness. Some pleasant sweet spice too. Great balance and refreshment.
