Courtesy pintocb. Hazy yellow/gold with clouds of yeast and a large, frothy, white cap. Typical witbier aroma- crisp, grainy wheat, coriander, citrus. Flavor is similar but something is off. Starts out crisp and refreshing and flavorful, and then just drops off in the second half and finish. Like a tap water flavor coming in to replace the beer. Lessens a bit as it warms, but remains. Medium body, well carbonated, easy drinking. Drinkable, but could use improvement.

I had this "Randallized" (over Tettnang hops and orange peel) so that would have affected the flavor, but I am sure I can still write an accurate review. Color is a lovely cloudy gold-amber, like pale honey. Head is thick and persistent. The strong, malty aroma is very pleasant and has citrus overtones - but this may have come from the orange peel. Flavor is a little thin, but is refreshing and smooth, pleasant and malty, with very little bitterness; the orange peel gave it a nice orange overtone.

Bottle from shp555. Citrus and coriander aroma. Golden body is hazy with a light head. Light palate. Taste is very faint everything: malt, yeast, spice, and citrus. Weak, even for the style.

Draught. Pours hazy gold with slow carbonation and dense white head. The aroma is lemon zest, banana, hints of clove. The flavor is zest up front, and the spiciness is pretty mild. Clean finish leaves little to no aftertaste. Simple-minded, but refreshing.

Very light citrus fruit and some funk stand out in the aroma.Pours hazy orange with a medium off white head.Got some light citrus in the flavor.Mouthfeel was thin but this was pretty easy to drink for a wit.

12 ounce bottle from pintocb. Pours a hazy yellow with a fizzy white head. Light aromas of peppery/citrusy corriander and maybe a touch of orange peel. Light on the flavor as well. Coriander came through again. Pretty nice. The wheat and maybe some oats. Lot and lots of carbonation. I’d drink it form time to time if it was readily available, but there are plenty better wits. Thanks Larry.

Bottle. Cloudy orange color. I found the taste a little peculiar. Not at all what I was expecting. Not in a bad way, but different. Well that was after the first beer. 2nd was worse. Something in this beer is very overpowering, and made everything else I drank taste like it, and Im still tasting it a day later.

WBF-Raleigh. Cloudy orange-yellow body with a small white head. Sweet banana and spice aroma. Spiced fruity flavor.
