Formerly brewed at Sweetwater Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

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.

Bottle: Pours a hazy gold with a white head. Aroma, wheat, citrus, some lemon zest, yeast. Flavor, light wheats, some citrus, oranges, lemon, very light and refreshing. Pretty good stuff.

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.
