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->shaker(no other option where I tasted): Pours a white, sparse head with no lacing onto a yellow body. Has a sweet honey aroma that is mildly hoppy and a molasses taste that bitters out towards the end. Has a medium body/mouthfeel and a slightly astringent aftertaste. Is somewhat particulate in appearance.

Pretty much blah. All the categories were just middle of the road. Spices were subtle but present.

Interesting beer this was a very cloudy orange color with a fast fading head and not much lacing. Nose of spices such as cloves . Mouthfeel was slightly slick and the flavor was brisk with lots of cloves and some banana making it take like a hefe. Finish was this beers high point, with a long and spicy aftertaste. Thanks bhensonb.

Not too impressive. Had a strange dry, citrus/spice flavor that is definitely unique, but does not really measure up against other witbiers. Head was almost nonexistent.

Hazy orangey color with a disappearing head. Aroma of tart citrus. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is wheat, with touches of spice (clove), banana and citrus. Finish is nice and pleasant. Balanced.
