bottled, poured nice cloudy white/yellow with bright white head with large amt of carbonation, nice light wheat aroma with background of hops, very mild wheat flavor expected heavier taste, great carbonated full mouth feel that leaves a very clean/watery aftertaste, good for a hot day

Can, pours a cloudy white yellow with a white head that dissipated quickly, left a little lacing on the glass, looked inviting while sitting in the glass, got some sediment in the glass, aroma of orange skin, hints of lemon citrus and lemon sweetness on the nose, I got some whiffs of lemonade, lemon citrus taste with little sweetness, some wheat flavor, some tart and dryness at the finish, flavor was so-so and fell a little short of what I was expecting, mouth feel was medium or a bit lighter but appeared to be off, maybe I got some low carbonated ale? Can was not past its BBD, this was an ok Wit.

33 cl can. Nice egg-white and yolk combo in my glass, half-finger white head over cloudy yellow body. Smell at first is a little sour, like this may have gotten too warm in transit. But it settles to a light, lemony wheat beer note. Taste is spritzy, with lemon zest and subdued notes of coriander. More soft spiciness from wheat malt, lightened by Belgian pils. Starts out slowly, has a nice middle, but gets sour again at the finish. But a nice summer beer.

Can pours very pale straw color with a small head and nice lace. The aroma is yeasty, spicy, not bad. The flavor is banana clove, yeast, and some lingering spice. The palate suites well. Overall, a decent offering.

Good wit. Someone asked if I was drinking lemonade when they saw it in my glass. Good spicy coriander aroma with some of the yeast characteristics of good wits, bubblegum/banana. Tasty beer. Went down smooth, nothing terribly funky about it, but nothing mind blowing either.

33cl can from trader joe’s. Spot-on cloudy pale honey color with a creamy white head. Bublegum, banana, orange, and spicy aroma is pretty nice. The flavor isn’t quite as good, with sweet tang, some yoghurt and slight spice in a somewhat watery finish. The body is overly creamy, which brings down the refreshment factor a little. Pretty drinkable, smells good, but the flavor and mouthfeel bring it down a little for me.
