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.

It smells crisp and clear like a simple wheat without much addition to the aroma. It pours a cloudy dark color, but is still translucent with a small white head. It has a clear wheat flavor, not sweet or much addition of citrus or herb notes. This beer is more effervescent for a wheat beer as well.

For a Belgium White I definitely favour the original Belgiums but that being said I did enjoy the twist on flavour of this one. It was an interesting twist on citrus as if it had a grapefruit taste to it. Overall I thought it was pretty good for a twist on a Belgium Beer.

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

A hazy orange body sits beneath the tiniest white head you could imagine. Strong herbal and spicy nose with some wheat and hop bitterness. The flavor is very controlled but the spices really shine through. Herbal and floral with a nice hint of hop bitterness. A unique take on a wit, and I think it’s an enjoyable one.
