opaque light orange, thin frothy white head, sweet orange aroma, light orange flavor, touch of sweet banana, a raspy wheat character that helps to dry it out and create balance, hints of clove that comes and goes, the sweet banana and orange create the perfect blend and dominate the profile

12 oz bottle. This Belgian wit was very different. It had a nice citrus aroma and taste but a weird aftertaste. Not the best of wits Ive tried.

i’ve never been a huge wheat beer fan, but this one is good. It’s got some lemon and orange undertones, pretty subtle though.

Bottle poured a slightly hazed gold color with a small white head. Aroma was belgian yeast and a citrus tang. The flavor had a strong yeast note followed by a dry coriander and citrus finish.

Best if enjoyed by 07/15/07, 12oz bottle from shp555 and Mystery Swap 2.0. Pours a hazy light golden with a minimal white fizzy head, though a 1/2 finger head does rouse and quickly fade again. Yeasty banana, coriander and lemon are dominant in the aroma, and a hint of plastic. Flavor was much the same with the addition of some earthy hop flavor and bitterness that I get in a fair amount of saisons--the bitterness is pretty low though. Low carbonation with a medium body. Not too bad of a wit.

Good. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Lightly spicy, reasonably complex flavor. The only complaint was a strange, yeasty aftertaste that disappears at the next sip.

this is surprisingly tangy, but in an unappealing way. aroma gives off a citrus BBQ feel. taste seems a bit sour on the citrus. not much head or body

Pours a cloudy yellowish white gold with a small white head. Aroma of spices, light orange and coriander. Taste is light spicy with an orange citrus presence and hints of coriander. Nice warm day brew.
