Pours an orange golden, slightly hazy color. There was a small fizzy white head that disappeared very quickly. The nose is a sweet cotton candy, artificial strawberry sweetness, with a slight touch of bitterness at the end. The flavor is sweet, but not quite as overpowering as the nose. The flavor has some coriander and a some spicy yeast. A very bready dry base to the flavor. Medium body, that finishes pretty dry.

Jul 25, 2008 From bottle. Funky orange and yeast nose, with a bit of skunk and lemon rind, teaberry. Sweet. Cloudy orange-amber, with sandy-looking chunks in the bottom of the glass. Thin off-white head. Medium watery body with thin carbonation. Starts with orange and honey, light wheat malt, and a bit of acidity. Fairly simple throughout, with medium sweetness and a light chalky yeasty tang. Clean orange-flavored after though a little chalky.

Jul 7, 2008 100th rater . I love Wits and this is a safe man’s wit. Very mundane and quiet. Light coriander and a bit of yeasty sweetness, which is nice but a bit out of place in such a light and water-y wit. I have no problem drinking and offering this to someone new to the style but its a very mailed in/mainstream attempt at the style.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle from the mix pack. Very good aroma of spice with the smallest amount of hops. The coriander is very present almost too much but not quite, very delicious A very solid witbier. I would buy this again. I also like the bottle with the sailboats

does not count  Jun 29, 2008 Absolutely my favorite Belgian Ale. Whereas some Belgian Ale is far too sweet for my liking, Otter Creek’s offering is far more subtle. First time around having this beer I got pretty hammered as it was tapped out of a free keg that was tackled by only myself and a few friends. Thank god the other people didn’t know truly how amazing this beer was. Second time having it with my buddy haslinger brought back the same fond memories...less the inebriation. Thumbs up to Otter Creek on a fine Belgian Ale.

Jun 20, 2008 12 oz single from Total Wine. Very fruity, perfumy, citrus aroma. Unfortunately that’s the best part. I like Belgian Wits, but I just cant get excited about this one. I think Blue Moon is better. It has all the typical flavors of a wit, but it comes off mediciny instead of enjoyable. Not bad, but also not so good..
