mikey (319), farmington, Utah, USA Apr 30, 2008 Poured a hazy, very light yellow. The head was small and fast fading, leaving a film of white foam. The nose was strong with citrus and clove. The taste was full and slightly tart. Citrus and malt dominate up front with banana, spices, and hints of lemon coming throgh in the end. There is no hop bitterness at all that i can detect. The finish was slightly yeasty. This beer was a little over carbonated, but not so bad that it detracted from the flavor. It goes down smooth leaving a clovey aftertaste. A very interesting wit, fairly well represented of the style.
gilvanblight (322), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Jul 20, 2008 Hazy yellow pour, not much head. Somehwat citrusy scent. Tates like a Witbier. Citrusy taste. Oh wait it is a witbeir (didn’t realize that when I ordered) Nice mix of orange and coreander in the flavour. A good wit. berkshire_john (976), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Jul 19, 2008 341ml bottle bought in Montreal. Cloudy amber with a dense wite head; wheat and yeast aromas; slightly citrus flavour with a floury body; dry finish. A reasonable example of a Belgian white. MrBunn (800), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Pour is a full-headed yellow with aromas of malt and light spices. Flavor is fairly bland... a bit of a malt presence and some coriander? spicing with some light fruit and a bit of yeastiness. ChainGangGuy (1457), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jul 15, 2008 Updated: Jul 21, 2008Appearance: Pours a clear, effervescent, golden body with a full, foamy, white head.
Smell: Aroma of pale malt, wheat, and a blend of spices expertly selected by an international committee.
Taste: Pale malts give way to a tangy wheatiness and a light sugary sweetness. Tablespoon of lemon juice stirred in. Half a teaspoon of apple juice. A fair amount of coriander and pepper rolling around in here. Minor taste of banana. Slight yeastiness and taste of orange peel on the drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-high carbonation.
Drinkability: A fine, summertime brew that made watching professional movers destroy a tenant’s furniture somewhat satisfying. Cybercat (379), USA Jul 12, 2008 This pours a thick honey-golden, cloudy and almost opaque. The strong aroma is malty and wheaty, very appetizing. Flavor is delicious, mainly malty with considerable hints of fruit and wheat. Texture is smooth and refreshing.This is a great summer beer.
