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. Hazy, pale yellow pour. Aroma is spicy and malty. Flavor is a spicy also, wheat and citrusy, a little aggressive with the carbonation, but not in a bad way. A different twist on a Wit.

Hazy yellow body with small, white head. Aroma is yeasty and spicy with notes of coriander and clove, almost too pungent. The flavor is slightly sweet and evokes tastes of clove, pepper and pear. Medium body with a watery texture. Moderately dry finish. Though this beer has all the aromas and flavors I associate with a witbier, something is off in the way they blend together

Bottle. At first i didnt like the smell, but it grew on me. Its a good think I bought a six pack. The best time to drink this is on a hot day in summer. It’s lite and crisp and clean. A very citrisey taste thats refreshing. I like this, but Victory has better offerings.

Had this one on tap at the Gramercy Tavern in NYC.....one of the freshest and most enjoyable beers I have had in awhile....the perfect summer thirst quencher....citrusy aroma is followed up by a sweet citrus taste that finishes with the perfect amount of bitterness....some spicey tones are also evident.....this beer stood up incredibly well to the excellent chow and bold flavours at Gramercy......I think this is a beer that, if tasted when fresh, would be rated much higher.

Bottle at The Pub in Ohiopyle, PA. Pours a pale hazy straw color with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty with some coriander and citrus. The flavor is pretty sweet, but has a really nice spice to it. Some clove and coriander with a bit of bitterness to it. Light body makes this pretty refreshing, especially after a day of white water rafting.

My bottle is about 2 years old. Pours an off-colour yellow with a small head. Aroma is fairly full and contains cloves and a little citrus. Pleasant but hard to place all the scents. The flavour has some sweetness, orange, blood, a distinct type of yeast and the inevitable spice. Not bad. There are a few garbagey qualities to the aftertaste, but I figure my bottle’s old enough to explain that. Finishes dry.
