3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Raleigh, NC. Pours a hazy very pale straw yellow color with a large creamy white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Very yeasty, spicy aroma with a bit of citrus. Taste is bread, citrus and light spice. Light bodied.

Hazy yellow, they got the color right. Some wheat and coriander in the nose. Thin palate and light flavor, with more coriander than wheat or other spices. Very little orange. Fruity and refreshing, if light.

12oz - Nice looking, strangely glowign yellow liquid with a white head. A oily, coconut flavored whack on the first sip ruined all after that.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
It’s possible that I got a bad batch, but this one had a distinct aroma and aftertaste of Windex and vinegar. Great for cleaning windows, not so great for drinking :( Very disappointed, as I’m a huge witbieren fan!
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle acquired via trade. Poured hazy gold with a minute white head and hefty carbonation bubbles. Aroma was wheat, banana, coriander, pepper. Flavor had a nice spicy kick with some wheat and banana thrown in. I was skeptical looking at the reviews going in, but I actually thought this was a pretty solid brew for the style.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Poured hazy, milky golden with a fine cap of white head. The aroma picked up toasted bananas and earthy spicage over a pale malty base.. a little essence of orange to it.. I dug it. The flavor had tangy orange zest and spicy wheat over a pale base.. dry earth and white pepper joined on the edges, and the citrus carried through the finish. Grainy on the palate, in a dry, refreshing way.. well-carbonated.. tasty stuff.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a bottle poured a hazy straw color with a good amount of head. Nice spicy malt flavor with a lingering finish.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. Pours cloudy light yellow/straw with a medium-sized white, fluffy head that leaves a good bit of striped lace on the glass. Bubbles stream from the bottom of the glass endlessly. The aroma is very strong with bitter orange and coriander - which is quite pleasant. There are hints of bready sweet wheat malt and lavender, too. The flavor starts with a wonderful sublime malt character that seems rich with unmalted wheat - and lots of coriander. Bitter orange and subtle peach emerge as the beer nears mid-palate, along with some grainy malts and a pleasant bready under-current from the unmalted grains. The finish has a sharp bitter citrus note from the bitter orange peel and a neutral - somewhat spicy - hop bitterness that is surprisingly firm right in the end. It ends dry with a subtle acidity. The mouthfeel is briskly carbonated - providing a subtle slightly acidic zip - and medium in body with a luscious feel. Overall, a very nice witbier.
