Commercial Description:
A swirling dynamo of flavor, with a steady calm of satisfaction at its heart, that's Whirlwind Witbier. Offering a tamed tempest of flavors both spicy and sublime, this softly fermented ale greets the nose and tingles the tongue. Imported Belgian yeast charges Whirlwind with an energy all its own. It is a refreshing interpretation of the classic, Belgian 'white beer' style.

Bottle: pours a golden amber with just a touch of some cloudyness and a frothy white head, aroma of oranges and spices, taste is citrusy and dry with a very thin mouthfeel. Definitely an easy drinker. Not that impressive though.

Not the best witbier, I must say i was a little disappointed with Victory. Pours slightly hazy gold, thick head, very aromatic. Very crisp, slightly fruity taste, clean finish. Just your average witbier.

Pours hazy golden amber color with nice carbonation. Taste is light and refreshing with a nice orange flavor. Great summer beer.

I found this beer for $.79 a bottle while I was visiting in Providence, RI. Can’t imagine why, it was good. A very subtle orange and coriander note with a tremendous head and lacing. Perhaps it lacked some maltiness but it was refreshing, nonetheless. Reminded me of my own spiced wheat beer (one of my best attempts).

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy light yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light spices and citrus. The flavor has a spicy citrus taste but is rather bland and watery. Overall this beer is rather unremarkable.

A nicely tan beer with a thin, quickly dissipating head. Aroma can be best described as nutmeg, nutmeg, NUTMEG! with just a bit of dried fruit on the nose. Overall flavor is light, crisp, and most definitely refreshing! Certainly spiced, it’s maybe a bit reminiscent of "Christmas". Not bad for a particularly hot day, although the spice ends up detracting from the sheer, simple drinkability of this wonderful beer. Would be a nice accompaniment to an earthy clothbound cheddar or pears.
