3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 emarkd (97) - Georgia, USA - APR 10, 2008
Bottle. Pours a bright orange, transucent, with a small white head. Aroma is very mild and clean with the proper citrus hints and a touch of yeastiness. Taste is very wheaty and turns more citrusy towards the end. Finish is dry. Much milder than some of the other whites available. Very good for a warm afternoon.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Nate (3026) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 8, 2008
Big ol’ draught at Atlanta Airport, Terminal B. Decent witbier aroma, with some orange peel and coriander. Yeasty with a touch of jasmine. Nice subtle aroma that almost borders on a saison. Medium amber orange, cloudy, with thin off-white head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts pretty sweet. Lots of orange, coriander and bubblegum. Light wheat malt acidity, light carbonic gaseousness. Tangy light bitter finish, though mostly watery and smooth. Refreshing witbier and nice on tap.

...great attempt at a difficult style by this US brewer, was very impressed and surprised. Nice mouthfeel, with wheat malt flavor, orange notes, with hints of spice. Balanced, slightly sweet with a good water taste that blends this beer nicely. Not really a Witbeer, but a pretty damn good beer, worth trying.

Bottle courtesy of tronraner. Pours a hazy orange with a white head. Smells of rich coriander, dough, some spices. Tastes of sweet wheat, some touches of coriander and orange peel. Finish is dry.

This is damn good white ale. Fruity. No need to add the orange to this one. Finishes nice.

Hazy orange pour with a fizzy off white head that disappears almost entirely. Nose has tons of coriander and some citrus. Light and a little creamy on the tongue. Taste is another dose of coriander and a citrusy finish. A nice beer and an excellent alternative to Blue Moon.

Banana. More wheat than wit. At the brewery, I had this one. My taste for hefe and wit is fading, but this is ok.

It’s a little more orange looking than your typical wit. Not as yeasty smelling or tasting. More like a wheat ale. I think Blue Moon is a closer representation of the style, yet it is rated less. I wonder why?
