Thanks to Bman1113VR for bringing this to my most recent tasting. Very good wit. Pours a pale yellow color with a nice fluffy white head that has great retention throughout. Taste is a bit sour and has an acidic aftertaste at first that dies down after it breaths a bit. Great wit beer, possibly my favorite.

sweet fresh yeast aroma, lemon pepper too. murky yellow head fell too quickly. tart sour lemon in large amounts up front, pepper and coriander middle, soft wheat moderate yeast finish. carbonation is overactive and tastes forced. light mouthfeel.

Easy drinker. A bit one dimensional though. Not especially fruity, citrusy or spicy. Pretty yeasty though. Ehhh, solid witte but probably won’t buy again.

Big white head that disioates quickly. Yellow to white color. Smell and taste of lemon and grapefruit. Not to over powering with citrus though refreshing.

LA MIGLIOR BLANCHE CHE ABBIA MAI BEVUTO. IL COLORE E’ GIALLO TORBIDO E LA SCHIUMA PERSISTENTE. IL PROFUMO NON E’ ESAGERATO MA COMUNQUE SI POSSONO PERCEPIRE NOTE AGRUMATE. IN BOCCA RAGGIUNGE L’ECCELLENZA IN QUANTO E’ IL GIUSTO EQUILIBRIO TRA NOTE CITRICHE, IL SAPORE DEL FRUMENTO E DEL LIEVITO. QUEST’ULTIMO SI AVVERTE DISTINTAMENTE ED E’ SQUISITO. LA PICCOLA DOSE DI ZUCCHERO AGGIUNTO NON DISPIACE. OTTIMA DA SOLA O CON BRUSCHETTA E PIZZA.

Pours a hazy, light golden-blond color. A small, foamy, pure white head settles quickly to a wispy, swirly film. Lacing is minimal, mostly spotty and sudsy. The aroma is very nice for a Wit, with lemon chiffon headlining, and sweet notes of orange, bubblegum, and a touch of spicy coriander. The flavor is a mirror image of the nose, with the weird, funky bubblegum component adding a strangely appealing quality. It just seems to work in this beer. Finishes moderately long and slightly bitter, with a good dose of residual coriander. The mouthfeel is on the heavier side of medium bodied, smooth, and slightly cloying. Overall, a very nice, refreshing brew.

Pale golden/orange without much of a head. Aroma is sweet, coriander and orange. I don’t think I can ever have another Blue Moon after tasting a real Wit beer. Also very smooth and full. Nice dry-ish tart finish. Very fine!
