11.2 fl oz bottle at Waldo Pizza KCMO. I actually drank two bottles of this, and for those of you who know me, and know the beer list at Waldo, that’s saying something. Pour is a hazy yellow orange with a good sized white head. Aroma is lemon and orange citrus is spice and coriander. Taste was extremely zesty, with more of the citrus fruit and Belgian yeast sugar sweetness and a nice sourness to the finish. There is great body for a Wit, and the finish is snappy, a perfect palate cleanser. This beer really blew me away. Perfectly refreshing, perfectly balanced with the pizza. All in all a great beer.

Aug 24, 2008 Best Before: 27 07 09.
Appearance: Pours an opaque, dull orange body with a thin, white head.
Smell: Aromatic nose smelling of lemony citrus and sugar-coated baked goods fresh out of the oven.
Taste: Bready malts with a sugary, honey-coated sweetness. Dash of freshly-grated lemon zest. Sip of grapefruit juice. Tangy wheat flavor near the end. Teaspoon of nutmeg. Slight pear fruitiness. Restrained hop bitterness. Tiny blip of sourness. Fruity, bready finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s nice. Certainly heavier and much fuller than I’d ever expected, but still overall nice.

Aug 21, 2008 On tap at the Sunswick in Queens.Once again here is a style of beer that I often avoid, but wanted to try this as it was on tap right in front of me, and I am very glad that I did try it.Poured a cloudy golden amber. The nose was wheaty and yeasty. The flavor was mild and smooth, with a mild wheat flavor to it. The finish was similar to the start, overall a very good beer.

Aug 21, 2008 This beer is under-rated. Easily the best Wit I’ve had. It’s really creamy and wheaty. The corriander and bitter orange compliment but do not overwhelm. Perfect amount of carbonation and spice. Lovely beer!

Aug 18, 2008 bottle at Rhino. Has the same excellent aoma as all the St Bernies, Fruitcake yeast. Cloudy yellow with small white head. Taste is bubbly, sweet yeasty citrus bread. Surprised it is only 5.5%, tastes like a much bigger beer than that.
