Draft. Heavy and dense-looking in the glass. Lots of aromas of wheat, banana and clove, some yeasty must. Flavors are rich and smooth, as a witbier should be. Lots of fruit and hay, balanced by a grainy, wheaty malt. Plenty of substance. Typical of the style.

Bottled. Cloudy yellow with middling white head. Very aromatic, lemon, coriander and other spices, wheat, yeast. Smell’s very attractive. Spices and coriander come out ahead of the citrus in the taste. Orange peel taste comes in the sides of the mouth and if I really squeeze the liquid against my tongue. Smooth moutfeel with strong tart. Tingly tongue syndrome, squeezing probably didn’t help. Somehwhat bitter end, dry but not overly so, warming but not alcoholic. Nice one.

Pours a light yellowish brown. Very little head. Yeasty nose. Notes of wheat and yeast. A little "bready" palate and lemony. Could have been more refreshing. A little disappointing given their other beers....

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow orange colour with a small white head. Aromas of citrus and coriander, some hints of yeast too. Malty flavor with hints of citrus and coriander. Also a bit salty. Sweet malty finish with hints of citrus and coriander.

Tap@RedlightRedlight, Winter Park, FL. Hazy gold. Frothy, white head. Traditional witbier. Grainy malt, crisp, bittering hops, yeast, orange, and corriander comprise the flavor and aroma. Medium/light, balanced body. Nice white.

The aroma has bread, coriander, citrus, and a little banana. The appearance is a cloudy gold with a foamy head. The flavor is much like the aroma but a bit more sour than expected. Also this has plenty of spice and malt in the taste. The palate is typical for the style. This is a good example of the Witbier style.
