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.

[Draft at EB&B] Poured a hazy golden color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, coriander, wheat, and lemongrass. Taste of citrus, coriander, spices, light honey, hay, wheat tartness, and a lightly dry finish.

Sampled some of this at Earth Bread & Brewery. Hazy blonde in color with a small to medium off white head. Aroma of belgian yeast, some wheat, spices, a touch of lemon. Taste is mild, with wheat, spices, some bready and earthy belgian yeast, a touch of tartness in the finish. All the components of a good wit were there- just slightly muted.

Draft. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Light lemony aroma with some spice. The flavor has a nice citric zest, with yeast and clove lingering beneath. Nice.

I felt this was a bit too thin for my taste... The flavor was interesting with the notes of lemon and grapefruit moreso than traditional orange... My bottle was not flat it had a decent sized head on it that quickly disappeared, but the carbonation was present throughout.... Ok, but there is just so much more out there in terms of wits....
