An unexpected rating at the end of a funny evening in Halifax, draft at Dooly’s pool hall. Ever so slightly hazy golden body with a moderate creamy white head that lingers with a weak attempt at lacing. Aroma is lightly yeasty with a funky mushroom citrus note to it. Flavour is balanced, sweet but lightly bitter with muted notes of the aroma. Not a great exampleof a wit, but not unpleasant either. Not memorable. It fit the experience rather nicely though.

12oz bottle. Clear yellow pour with a medium white head. Sweet malt nose with yeast and lemon. Malty flavor with orange and lemon and a weak finish.

cloudy, orange appearance. slight head. aroma is strong citrus - maybe artificial? also strong citrus in taste. For a macro, it does an ok job of following style.

Pours a crisp golden yellow. Aroma is wheat and citrus. Flavour is citrus, orange and yeast. Better than Rickard’s Honey Brown, but not Red.

Considering it is brewed by Molson this is surprisingly decent, probably their best beer. It is at least closer to being a real witbier than most of their other beers are to the style they are labelled with. Make no mistake this is not one of the better witbiers on the market but it is at least something enjoyable to drink which I can not say about many Molson products. In comparison to the better witbiers it is a bit thin but there is a definite taste of wheat and citrus. To be honest I have tasted worse microbrew witbiers than this. As a mass production brewery if Molson could at least raise the level of their other beers to this standard I would have a little more respect for them.

Pint at Skol Bar in Toronto, hazy blonde with expected white foamy head. Aromas sweet wheat malt, some orange. Taste only hints of orange zest and spice, with an overall dull pale wheat malt presence, moderate body, very light lemon hops. Nothing like the Blue Moon I once tried.

Everyone’s jumping on the Hoey bandwagon. Well, I can say that this is OK, no where near to how good Hoegaarden is, but it’s nice to have on tap when they’re not much else to choose from. Pours like a White white a bright translucent yellow with a fast-fade head. Typical aroma of citrus and spices... kind of faint though. The taste is a little bit light, but refreshing at least. More emphasis on the citrus taste and not quite as balanced as a white should be.

Draft (in Niagra): Poured a hazy yellow with a nice head. The aroma was spice, yeast and citrus. The flavor was citrus, pepper, lemons, oranges, touch of cloves, and yeast. Overall, a tasty try at this style.

Tap in Toronto. Sweet mild citrus hops aroma with notes of wheat and orange and lemon zest. Hazy, yellow orange body with an impressively long-lasting thick and creamy little white head. Muted lemon hops and tangy wheat hints in the flavour. Medium body, light tingly astringency.
