Not bad. Very slight orange flavor. Would enjoy this while grilling on a hot Georgia day.

Appearance: Pours hazy, light copper body with a small, fizzy white head. Smell: Strongly fragrant nose of coriander, clove, and dried orange peel. Ah, but wait, is that blanched green vegetables? Taste: Bready wheat flavor with plenty of yeast, bananas, and coriander. Infused with a sweet citrus kick. Finishes with that sweet-tart lemon flavor and that sneaky hint of veggies. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderately carbonated. Drinkability: I remember a bygone time when this beer was known as Summer Hummer and available only, well, during the summertime. I miss those days.

12oz bottle: Very pleasent smell of oranges in this beer. I thought it was very different from most witbiers I’ve tried in the past, and to be quit honest, I’m not a big fan of wits, but this was mighty fine. Taste was smooth and I could taste the orange and coriander. There was a bit of an aftertaste, but who cares. A nice summer beer

Good witbier. Hazy yellow color with nice head. Flavor was similar to Victory Whirlwind, but a little sweeter. How do I know this? I drank them back to back,that’s how. Refreshing.

Dull orange color with lots of citrus aroma, smelled like Orange juice! Flavor was citrus, with a slight banana flavor, more banana than expected for a wit bier, thought it would be more citrus, anywhoo... a very nice drinking brew, with alot of citrus, quite good! Thanks to shp555 for another great Brew!

This witbier pours a medium orange color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is banana esters, citrusy and floral. A medium bodied wit. Malts are fruity, orange and peaches. Lots of coriander and orange peel. Kind of fruit and floral, yet there is a nice malt backbone evident. Light and refreshing with some flavor to it. Perhaps a touch buttery, but not bad. Good summer beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Cloudy yellowish gold in color with a big, foamy head. Strong banana nose. Flavor is bananas and spice, a dash of citrus. Sweet and mellow. Nice.
