It pours a clear, rather typical wan sunny yellow, but the thick, fluffy, white head adds appeal. Aroma is strong, malty, wheaty and yeasty with just a touch of fruit - mainly banana - and inviting a taste. Flavor is mainly malty with yeasty undertone and a fruity hint. Texture is tingly and lively, what I like in a beer. This one is worth finding. I had it at the Cafe Intermezzo in Dunwoody, GA.

Bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a gigantic white head. Aroma of bitter hops, floral notes, and citrus. Flavor is lemon citrus, hops, wheat. Medium body and almost creamy mouthfeel, bitter with a bit of a bite but smooth. Bitter finish. Reminds me of a German Pilsener somewhat in the flavor but I like this better than those.

Julio’s Belgian Beer fest. Sample. OK, so I grabbed the coaster for this one so it must have been ok. Yes, I think rememeber this. A white beer that was better than the typical. Unfortunately I do not like white beers a whole lot so the fact that I didn’t think this was too bad is noteworthy.

Can at Uber. Pours a murky dark white. Ugh. Looks like somebody left a specimen and they was bad wrong on the inside somewhere. Creamy white head that doesn’t stick around. Visible flecks of black coriander (or whatever) backstroking around in there. Man, this is a broken beer. Spicy sweetish potpourri-ish nose. Does not present itself as a refreshment. More like a dare. Creamy, fizzy body. Tastes like undercooked potpourri. What saves it from being awful is the fact that it’s pretty subdued.

12oz can. Pours very cloudy, bright white color, thick foamy bright white head. Sweet wheat malt aroma. Hints of lemon and grass and earthy florals. Bready flavor. Lots of malt, very dry on the palate, finishes with a hint of lemon. Seems to be textbook authentic Witbier.

Pouring a very cloudy light straw colour, this one featured a foamy white head. The aroma was evident at once, somewehat "grassy" even with my nose backed away from the glass. The taste was also a bit of the grassiness and a little bit tart, with the aftertaste being slightly sweet. Not too different from Hoegaarden. A nice, clean tasting beer.

Bottle at ABC beer tasting. Poured a very pale yellow and was quite cloudy with a white head. Basic aroma, consisted of fruit and flora notes. Flavor was light and fruity with a consistent slight undertone of bitterness.
