Growler thanks to Skyview. Cloudy yellow color with a thin head. Lots of coriander and banana aroma. Big wheat and coriander taste. Some orange on the finish. Spot on for the style, but a bit too much coriander for my liking.

May 25, 2008 From Skyview’s growler. Lots of coriander in the aroma. Thin and yellow beer but well carbonated, creating a tall white head. Flavor has wheat and more coriander, some butter, and is a little sweet. Hint of citrus. A nice wit.

May 14, 2008 Pale yellow body with faint white head. Corriander on the nose with a little yeast. Sweet body with a lemony flavor. Fruits as well. Fresh grain undercurrents.

May 10, 2008 Updated: Jul 20, 2008Attended the Grand Opening of Red Eye Brewing Company near downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. Pours an unfiltered, hazy golden straw brew with a thick and creamy white head that has excellent retention and great lacing. Aroma of light tropical fruit, golden and wheat character malt, coriander, orange and tangerine zest, a touch of banana and pineapple. Taste is very smooth and creamy, very light carbonation with flavors of multi-grain golden malt, coriander, very light flowery hop character with some orange zest. Finish is just as smooth as its flavor, semi-sweet with a light coriander and fruity aftertaste that really stands out. Very Excellent! Most grand openings beers I’ve experienced are usually a hit or miss products as the brewmaster slowly gets familiar with his brewing equipment. Kevin Eichelberger’s skills and experience really made this witbier stand out as I strongly believe this brewery is going to be around for quite some time.
