I tried this beer on May 20, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy yellow orange with a finger-thick white head that lasted throughout. The aroma was yeast, malt, and spicy sweetness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and highly carbonated, almost sparkling. The flavour was wheat, yeast, and some sweet malty tones.

Draft at <a href="http://www.5thearlmarket.com/"> Earl Market in Decatur. Pours a very cloudy yellow with some notes of tan. There were a few white bubbles, but no real head (it likely faded on its way from the tap to my table). The aroma has some grassiness and mustiness, some wheat character, and a light sweetness with some spice. The flavor starts wheaty with a subtle tartness and some coriander spice. At mid-palate the beer is dry and wheaty with a subtle hop bitterness. The beer finishes dry with flavors of orange peel and spice. The mouthfeel is crisp and medium in body, and it is particularly dry at the back of the palate. Overall, a great and authentic witbier.

0.33L bottle. small stable head. Murky ugly light yellow colour. Aroma dominated by wheat and banana with a trace of something smokey. The flavour is made of banana, vanila and a touch of citrus and spice. It is quite dry with just a touch of sweetness developing into a lingering sweet and sour finish.

Bottle at the NorCasl tasting, pale yellow pour with decent head. Nose and flavor were a touch sweet and light fruit. Subtly sweet and very refreshing.

11.2 oz bottle. Foggy olive yellow with a white head. Nose is banana, lemon, coriander, yeast and perfume; quite interesting. Creamy, but a little light, with sharp carb. Taste like the nose with subdued banana perfectly balanced by the slightly sour lemon. Another great beer from St. B.

Bottle sample at a beer festival in kibbutz Ma’abarot, May ’08. Very cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of wheat, coriander and some yeast. Sweetish wheaty flavor with some orange and lots of spiciness (coriander). Finishes spicy and a bit drier. Medium-bodied. A good Wit.
