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.

12oz bottle. Poured a light to medium and clear yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Bottle stated unfiltered, but this one was cristal clear. Aromas of lemons, spices, and light wheat. Tastes of wheat (more than the aroma), citrus with some spiciness. Thinner body.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is wheat/grain, perfumy spice, musty. Has some farmhouse traits. Taste is cardboard/burnt toast dominates the herbal/tannins, wheat/grain, perfumy spice-pepper, musty. How am I getting tannins in a Belgian Wit? Aroma was OK/nice. The taste went downhill throughout. Didn’t get any yeast character either.

Bottle. Pours clear pale gold with a margaritaish tint in the color and off-white head. Nose is clovey spice, limey citrus, malt, some dry florals, and orange zest. Tastes floral, a bit dry and citric, spicy, with the predominant flavors being lime, clove, orange zest, and grapefruit. Decent.

Pours a lightly hazy yellow with a medium bubbly white head that left lacing. Aroma of wheat, cereal grains, lemon, floral and spicy notes. Flavor was spicy, peppery, lemon, some other hints of mixed citrus, wheat, floral/herbal, and cereal grains. Refreshing on a nice Memorial Day afternoon in the sun.
