3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Churchkey. Hazy, obscured yellow pour with tints of brown. Nose and flavor are classic belgian white, with orange and spice, along with further floral and herbal presence from the chamomile addition. Lighter palate than some of the archetypes like Allagash White. Fine, not great.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Acidic, tangerine, fresh, floral, back end loaded. Medium body, small head for a Belgium style, yeasty aroma. Went real well with stir fry and egg rolls. Not as light as some Belgium ales, very solid though.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very fruity, light, Apple juice orange juice, mimosa. Light crisp, sweet. Not to spicy or yeasty, very good and refreshing.

750 ml bottle from Country Club Liquors. Nose is corriander, citrus fruitiness, floral notes, and yeast. Lightly hazy urine yellow with a big pale yellow head. Flavor is corriander, white pepperiness, pasty wheat bread, and a hint of banana.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured from the corked bottle, aroma is citrus, and slight banana. Flavor is very clean like a wheat, and lemon bitterness/ sourness. I really like the witbiers, and this is no exception, great brew!

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled on 6/23/2011. This witbier pours a slightly cloudy light orange gold color from a 750ml bottle. Large sized dense foamy white head, with good lacing and long lasting retention. The aroma is cereal, citrusy and sweet with some spices. A medium to light bodied wit. The malts are cereal, fruity and sweet, with some coriander and orange peel. The hops are floral and spicy. Lively carbonation. There are a whole bunch of little tiny bubbles cascading to the top of the glass. A very light and easy drinking beer. Great for the 90+ summer afternoon or evening. But has enough flavor that it would be a good beer with food. With a lower ABV 4.5% this would be a great summer session beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. The finish is clean, crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
