Commercial Description:
The famous American poet Walt Whitman once described a particular Philadelphia sunset as consisting of, "...a broad tumble of clouds, with much golden haze and profusion of beaming shaft and dazzle." Sounds remarkably similar to our fragrant, satisfying take on the traditional Belgian white ale. Walt Wit's citrus and spice flavors deliver a transcendental drinking experience. Walt Wit is brewed with only a whisper of hops and a hint of herbs to set off the flavor of white wheat and oats.

Sorry to say, this was not good at all. Clear yellow, really lacking that wheaty flavor. Seemed like a cross of a wit and a cheap macro. Moved on immediately after finishing one of these.

Light yellow, strong carbonation, thick white head. Dry lemon and wheat aroma, soft on the spice note, good start. Ultra light bodied, watery even, lime finish.

This was a nice American Style Belgian Wit. Drank with a lemon, tasted like a hoegarden or other generic begians. Good but nothing to choose if it is on tap with real belgian beers.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 11/10/2008 Floral and slightly spiced aroma. Clear golden coloured and hoppy with a hint of dryness in a crisp malt finish.

Draft at Irenes. Pours an ugly greenish yellow hazed body sitting underneath a small foamy head with some decent lacing. Aroma of lemon zest and wheat up front with some light spice in the background. Flavor is spicey with lots of wheat and lemon. Very thin body but average carbonation. Actually better then I was anticipating

Pours cloudy pale amber with a small white head. Mild aroma reminiscent of banana with a spice undertone. Light and slightly fizzy on the tongue. Mild spice flavor mixed with citrus and a mild hop undertone. Decent.

bottle, pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Aroma is light wheat and corriander. Flavor is sour and bitter orange with a light sweet malt to balance things out. Not impressed.
