Pours dark, cloudy yellow with an orange smell. Didn’t expect much from a belgian white made by AB, pretty much got what I expected. Extremely light and watered down with an off-balanced citrus taste. Still, I could see this as being refreshing on a hot day.

Compared to its peers, below average. Compared to its siblings at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, above the norm. Cloudy feature is a plus. Fruit is a must and a drawback, as it demonstrates how weak this beer really is. Think a Corona version of a wheat beer. Nevertheless, quite refreshing. Served on tap at Bare Bones (Stuart, FL) -- first beer in the US after 3 years in the UK.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy light golden color with a large white head. The aroma was musty and yeasty with light hints of lemon and spice. The flavor was tangy citrus with a hint of cardboard and a trace of mustiness. The finish was moderately long tangy lemon.

Draft: Pours a cloudy straw color. Small white head. Not much of an aroma. Hint of citrus flavor. Watered down. Not a bad attempt from AB. Easy to drink in mass consumpton.

(Bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a cloudy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, coriander, and light orange. Flavor of wheat, light citrus, and mild spices (maybe some coriander). Seems a bit watered down, but not unexpected either…

Pours a hazy pale orange color. Aroma is wheaty and citrusy, but....it still smells like an A-B product. Tastes like a Belgian White. You can taste the wheat, and the orange flavors. Almost kind of orange-juice like, actually. It’s just kind of weak flavor-wise though. Like a normal wit, but muted. It is crisp, however. Not bad, but for a macro produced Belgian White, I’ll definitely stick to Blue Moon.

So, AB’s answer to Blue Moon. While not a bad wit, it just is not really worth seeking out. It is everything a wit should be, but dialed down by half. Textbook, but very bland and innocuous. There are a hundred non-descript brewpubs that would do this one better.
