Aroma was spicey and sour orange. Poured yellow and bubbly. Flavor was off to me yeasty and wheat but it didn’t mix well with bitterness. Palate was thin but finish left a hard boiled egg yolk taste. Oh well.

Big ass magnum I picked up quite some time ago. Pours a cloudy golden body with decent size head. Smell is yeasty and spicey with corriander being detected. Flavor is of spice also and slightly bitter. Dry mouthfeel.

Thanks to Jasonmech77 for breaking out this magnum bottle at the tasting...
Appears a hazed light orange with a small white head that quickly fades into a mild cap. Little speckles of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of dusty, spiced, pils malt, along with pepper and vanilla.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with a mild citrusy funkiness going on.
Mouthfeel beads off the tip of the tongue to a chalky, dry finish.
Overall, it’s not what I had expected from a witbier.

33 cl bottle (Bello Vino, Ann Arbor MI, August 2006) served at cellar temperature in a Corsendonk glass. Hazy-oily gold complexion, a moderate snowy cap leaves thick lace as it falls....sweet orange, perfumy floral scents (lilac and perhaps nightshade), mint and some bready notes dominate the lovely aroma, as it warms a hint of allspice surfaces and it turns sweeter overall....the body is juicy, a touch cidery with some sourdough-vinegar notes, lime-orange citric notes showing up towards the finish, which is highly carbonated and faintly metallic....this surprised me, I really found it complex and interesting, not at all the typical Wit or the so-so experience that most people have had.

Looks like I’m hitting way off the average on this one, but I thought it was quite nice. Pours hazy orange with a decent sized white head. The smell of orange hit my nose while pouring. Upon further examination there was definitely the smooth orange as well has rich wheat and light coriander. Medium / light body with tingly carbonation. The taste starts with citrus that is sharp and lemony then it smooths out to the orange. There is some spice and wheat in the mix, but this is very fruit forward. The finish has a crisp feel with carbonation and spice. But coming back to linger is the creamy orange. This is quite overpriced, but is still worth giving a try.
