Aug 26, 2006 On tap pours a slightly cloudy straw color with a white head. The taste is more of an american wheat then a wit. The overall flavor was wheat with some citrus and a little spice.

Nov 27, 2005 Pours a golden orange hue, quickly dissipating soda like head. Sweet spicy nose, floral, fruity, sweet. Palate is the same. Quite fizzy, spiced, fruit, awefully limey, watery texture, funky yeast, overly sweet. Perhaps a more fresh sample would be better, but I think not.

Aug 1, 2005 2005 bottle. Color is a brass to deep urine, with a deeply faded, lime-green tint. Good amount of sediment at the bottom. Large off-white head is well-retained. Massive amounts of small bubbles make their way to the surface, providing an aroma of soft grassiness, lemon and coriander. A light creamy sweet malt in the background as well. Flavor begins with a big herbal note of coriander, with some lemon and light white pepper perhaps. Some soft, fluffy yeast and a light, moist honey-whitebread maltiness. Light, pleasing acidity, very zesty bubbles for texture. Some citrus tones linger on the tongue nicely. Honey and some faint caramel. The spices (probably the pepper?) create a slight numbing effect on the tongue. Not watery at all with a strong linger flavor that coats the palate well. Spritzy at times. The bottle makes no indication that this is a Belgian Wit. Not to say that it is not, (and if it is, it’s not to style at all). But I don’t get the feeling that it was made to any particular style. Probably just a hybrid, refreshing, spiced summer ale.

Sep 13, 2004 Draught @ CTRiver Brewers Festival: This was an all-around unappealing beer. It was a golden color, with some white head. The aroma was sweet- pretty much sickly sweet. Fruit was in there. Maybe lime. There was also some wheat down in there. The taste was not very good at all. Sickly sweet again. This wasn’t even close to a Wit.

Sep 7, 2004 For once I wish a beer was cooler as it would probably be more fitting for the style. As it was, it just came from a cooler with no ice after a brief trip. In the same vein as Celis white and Hogaarden predecessors, but lacking the subtlety in most all regards - spicing and sweetness especially. I did enjoy it, but if you’re looking for nuance it’s a bit of a leap.
