Bottle.
<br /><br />
Pours a cloudy light-straw color, a bit of floating matter, with an attractive fluffy white head. Interesting aroma: slightly sour, lemon; grassy, some alcohol, lots of orange peel and coriander. The flavor kicks in hard: it’s got a powerful puckering dryness that comes on with a syrup-like intensity, big orange-peel flavor, much more bitter than other examples of the style, again that alcohol making itself known, lemon, coriander notable mostly late, with banana juice coming on strong at the same time.
<br /><br />
Certainly an interesting beer and one that I’m very pleased to have tried. But for me it just doesn’t quite come together; it’s not light and refreshing enough for a Wit, the syrupy start and the strong banana close interfere with the powerful bitterness. Interesting...

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle, labeled 6.6 abv. (probably a dumb Texas rule). Golden, very cloudy, awesome, pour with a small white head lasting only a minute. medium intricate lacing. Aroma of banana, cliantro, and orange peel. Flavor is refreshing, with notes of lemon, orange, clove, and other garden spices. Texture is medium/thin and has a mildy sharp bite. Finish is tart and has the taste of banana.
