EithCubes (3053) - GERMANY - MAY 8, 2008

Bottle thanks to jrob_21! Coriander and slightly bitter orange peel, with a heavy wheat malt aroma. Classic wit scent. Hazy golden body with a bubbly white head. Taste is a heavy citrus attack, orange and lemon with a sharp tangy stab of apricot, and lightly metallic coriander. Crisp from heavy carbonation, medium body, alcohol well-hidden except for some dulling, numbing. Has some jam/marmelade notes, but isn’t oversweet. Refreshing.

Hudspart (473) - Hudsonville, Michigan, USA - APR 30, 2008

Bottle: Not bad for a witbier. Aroma and flavor of citrus. I have had worse of this type. Very drinkable.

Bottle. This beer had way too much coriander. I was not impressed. If you like spicy beer you might like this one.

tympanic (98) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 29, 2008

This beer kinda smells like soap. Tangy, cloudy, citrusy, sweet-tart. Not the Wit it wishes it was.

billb (241) - Kennesaw, Georgia, USA - APR 26, 2008

Not too bad for the style. Spicy aroma. Pours a cloudy golden. Coriander is apparent in the flavor along with a bit of a musty finish.

kpresley77 (142) - Jackson, Georgia, USA - APR 23, 2008

Pours cloudy orange with a light head. Smells of yeast and citrus. Taste some yeast flavor but mostly citrus with slight yeast finish. Average wit.

bleeng (1085) - Huntsville nowhere near Beersel, Alabama, USA - APR 18, 2008

Thanks Uncle Mattie. 12 oz bottle. Hazy bright yellw with a small white head. Nose is sweet, musty, wheaty, spicey. Taste is of oranges, wheat, musty/barnyard but fresh. Overall a nice refreshing beer-wish I had a case for the upcoming hot Houston summer.
