Medium golden pour wiht a nice white head. Smell is witbier esque - has some lemon clove in there and is not bad at all. Flavor is a bit watery overall - a hint on the dishwater side for me - lemon is present - but mostly just water. High carbonation and average mouthfeel overall. Overall, drinkable but a hint on the bland side for the flavor.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light golden color, with a fizzy white head that disappears quickly, and wet dripping lacing. Belgian yeast aromas, some citrus hops, chalk and clove. Flavors of spicy clove, pepper, that farmy belgian yeast, some sweet raspberry, zest, and a oaty malty finish. Chalky mouthfeel, balanced well, a good representation of the style.

Lots of coriander, very spicy. Hard to get much more - a little pepper here and there. Nice wheaty tang, very drinkable, nice color (bright gold). A little cotton candy sweetness in the flavor. Aroma is slightly sweet and fruity. Thanks to GAManiac for the bottles.

On tap in the Atlanta airport. Look is orangish with a light head. Cloudy. Smell has malts, yeasty, fruity, orange peel, and corrinador. Pretty easy to drink. Yeasty taste that is light and fruity.

abcfan (362) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 19, 2008
Decent wheat beer, reminds me more of a hefeweizen though. Pours a cloudy orange-yellow with a quickly fading head. Aroma is orange peel, spice and wheat. Very refreshing taste. Grapefruit and orange dominate, with a nice spice/metallic finish. It gets better with every sip.

The aroma is like citrus, wheat, yeast, and vinegar. The appearance is hazy gold with a thin head. The flavor is like the aroma and sharp. The palate is thin. Absolutely nothing like witbier: bad.
