Bottle Hazy to muddy, orange body. Off-white, frothy-rocky head. Aroma of oranges, hops, caramel, yeast and fresh citrus. Quite complex and well balanced aroma. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Somewhat astringent, but not in a bad way. Quite well balanced and a good complexity for a white.

Cloudy yellow with a rocky white head. Fresh and elegant fruity-floral aroma. Fruity and grainy flavour and very dry. Some alcohol presence.

12 oz bottle, via Storm. Pours an appropriately cloudy yellow gold body under a moderate fizzy white head that left some light lacing. Aroma is spicy with lots of earthy wheat and some floral and herbal notes. I’m getting oregano and violets for some reason. Flavor is a little more tame and predictable than the aroma. Lots of spicy wheat with perfumy and herbal notes. Light yeast, alcohol, and some citrus. Mouthfeel is dry and crisp with a refreshing thirst quenching finish. The carbonation is spritzy and fizzy, perfect for a Wit. This was a pretty damn good Wit. A style that I’m usually not too into. I wish I would have saved this for a summer afternoon by the pool.

Bottle. Pours quite clear yellow with a slight tint of orange. Head is white and fizzy and settles as a thin millimeter. Aroma is mild with some yeasty and apple tones - it has a feel as if its a white wine. Quite spritzy in your mouth - now it more resembles a champagne. Mildly sour with no bitterness. Ending with a malty sweet edge. Different, I must say, but quite nice.

Bottle. Head was very large and frothy with a white colour. Left some fair lacing. Cloudy orange like colour. Aroma was light malty grain, with hops being average with notes of flowers, citrus. Some yeast blending in there with soap, cheese. Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderated sweet flavour with balanced light bitterness. Very complex and long finish I thought for a 5% Witbier.

Bottle conditioned. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow coloured whitebeer with a rocky white head. Good lacing. Light citrussy nose, notes of yeast and some herbs. Very refreshing taste. Nice wheat taste, some lemon and coreander. Very fresh in the afthertaste. Best up to now.

Bottled. Citric (mainly lemon) and apple aroma. Cloudy, yellow color, white irregular head, nice lace. Sweet, spicy, citrus, light bitter, light fruity, apple. Little sticky and warming for just 5.5%. The entire feeling is high ABV but the label says different.
