Can. Very faint fruity aroma, maybe slight banana. Poured a mostly clear light yellow color with a minute amount of yeast floating around. Taste was waaaayyy too light, almost water. If I didn’t know this brew was a witbier, I would have thought it was just another pale lager. Very disappointing for 1 of my favorite styles

12oz can. Rating #755. Very hazy light straw yellow color with a nice white head. Big wheat and citrus aroma, lots of lemon peel. Light flavor, more lemon zest with a mild aftertaste, very clean and refreshing. (1910)

Hazy light straw gold with a small tight white head. Hefty witte aroma of coriander and citrusy wheat. Taste is pretty light and crisp but with a sweet wheat tone, a bunch of coriander and slightly bitter orange peel. Pretty dry. A little light overall, but a tasty witte nonetheless.

Average at best. Smells and tastes like a wit. Nothing special here and I don’t think I’d buy again.

(can 9/30/10). Cloudy straw color. Large white head. Aroma and flavor of moderate wheat/malt, light citrus. Short duration. Smooth, light dry finish. Slick/creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Good lacing.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a thin bleach white head. Nothing really stands out with this brew. Flavor is crisp and clean no high points, but pretty decent to enjoy with a meal.

A: The pours a very pale cloudy yellow color with a short lived white head. S: Doesn’t have too much witbier aroma to it. Lots of straw and grass notes. Only a mild citrus and yeast note, minimal spice notes as well. The rest of the aroma is just a bit sweet with some wheat. T: Sweet bread, wheat, and banana notes. A little bit of straw and grass with some orange flavor and perhaps a touch of lemon peel. Just a mild spice note to it. M: Light to medium in body with a medium carbonation. O: I must say, my first canned Belgian beer was a bit of a disappointment.

Hazey overpriced Belgium witbier purchased at "Ludlow Wines" - Look, I was looking forward to tasting a Belgian farm ale, and this one is far from that. I can only presume that this is Belgian BMC, because there is nothing special about this one.
