Jul 21, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep hazy golden.copper with a massive foamy whiteh head- diminshes a bit - some lace. Aroma is orange spice, earthy, slight wet dog, leather, crackery malts, and lemon zest and phenolic earthy belgian yeastiness. Flavor is a bit flat and boring- orange zest, orang mints, phenolic, crackery pale malt is not very fresh or bready, just a bit dull, floral and grassy with some flat sweet honey like hints. Finish has a slight tang to it with a zesty slight tartness. meh.

Jul 15, 2009 Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells of coriander, citrus, grassy, wheaty, some spicy hints. Tastes of citrus, some honey, coriander, some spice, peppery hints. Nicely carbonated with a dry finish. A really like this brewery’s take on Belgian styles and other experimental beers and hope they do more. At $14 for a sixer of their tripel and $8 for a 4 pack of this, they make some of the best beer for the price out there.

Jul 5, 2009 Tap at Swift Hibernian Lounge. Hazy straw-gold beer with a dense 1/2" head. The aroma is lovely. Lots of citrusy, corianderish character with a pronounced spiciness on the back. Surprisingly, the yeast is quite expressive and the brewer seems to have used a light hand with the spicing. A light touch of clove as well as some honeyish malts. The malts have a bit more character than is usual in this style. Fruity with a light lemon and herbal/spicy yeastiness. It’s light and lean with a dry finish but with more than enough complexity to keep it interesting. A pretty solid wit.

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle shared by Robert at SL, private Monday evening tasting. Pour was pretty typical looking for a wit, maybe a bit more amber colors vs. the golden white-yellow type appearance. The aroma was floral, lavendar, chamomile-like. The spices and coriander notes were gentle underneath. The flavor followed, some strong lavendar qualities, something strongly floral, somewhat distracting with a medicinal quality to it. Meh, a unique twist for sure, but I wasn’t down with it.

May 9, 2009 On tap in the summer of 2008: Pours a hazy deep golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh ground coriander and a sweet biscuity pale maltiness. Body starts with good fullness and carbonation with a light orange citrus flavor and good coriander spice. Smooth, full flavored yet pretty drinkable.

May 2, 2009 Bottle. A cloudy straw-colored pour with a HUGE off-white head that leaves rings of lacing. Loads of coriander, zesty orange peels, lemons, and some bananas in the wheaty, yeasty, INTENSE aroma. Big body for the style. A little creamy here and there. Starts off very sweetly with some caramel, creamy honey flavors, and slight vanilla. Zesty oranges, bananas, and a tangy wheatiness follow. Finishes kinda dry with lemons. A spicy yeastiness throughout. Underrated as hell!

May 1, 2009 Pours a hazy golden with very nice head retention... Aroma is yeasty wheaty with coriander, no hops, no sweetness, very stock wit aroma with citrusy lemon/orange notes... Flavor is slightly lemony very average wit... i remember this being more belgian blonde ale like in the past, if changes have been made it is much more traditional than i remember... Decent mouthfeel, decent body....
