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.

Very light haze from ultrafine particulates and bright lemon yellow body with filmy white head. Interesting aroma of citrus peel and flowery herbs. Light rubber phenols. Flavor is doughy and estery with moderate citric tones. Nicely dry and light, but with ample flavor. Has a grainy bitterness similar to the Kenzinger. Better, but still a little rough. Great label and tribute.

Green Rock Tavern, Fishtown. On the sweet side, to be certain, nice froth. Great style with the pencil on the beer tap paddle.

On draft at the GL. Pours a hazy gold with a small white head. Yeasty aroma with hints of light spice, faint banana and clove. Taste of light spices, cloves and a touch of zesty lemon.
