IndySteve (9) - Indianapolis, Indiana, USA - JAN 1, 2008 does not count
12 oz bottle. Poured a tall, frothy, long lasting head and a cloudy yellow/orange body. Citrusy with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Was recommended at the store as a training beer for reformed coors light drinkers.

Rynoplasty (700) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - DEC 31, 2007
Pours a strange milky lemonade like yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very citrusy, with the looks and smell you could probably trick somebody into thinking it was lemonade. Taste is excellent, citrusy, spicy, and extremely smooth. I like Hoegaarden but I like this even better, definitely my favorite wit. I could drink this all day in the summer.

Snojerk321 (2954) - San Diego, California, USA - DEC 31, 2007
12oz bottle from Bevmo Carmel MTN. Poured a cloudy golden yellow. Head was white and fairly large. Had a nose of citrus, yeast, and a light hint of hops. One of the better wheat beers out there.

Rockinout (966) - Kent, Ohio, USA - DEC 28, 2007
Light spicy lemony aroma with a light citrus undertone in the taste. Cool, crisp, and refreshing on this summer night. (a little late entering)

shakespeare33 (197) - Washington DC, USA - DEC 18, 2007
12oz bottle part of beers of world variety. pours a crystallic muddy yellow with a white head. very little aroma but what I detect is citrusy and acidic. the initial hit to the palate is very appealing.. hints of vanilla and lemon dance on my tongue while a slight tartness abruptly pushes the taste into its next phase.. smooth finish with a very light yet apparent body. good refrehsing belgian

glennmastrange (1547) - hobe sound, Florida, USA - DEC 16, 2007
Tap. Light straw and light bread notes for the malts, light lemon for the hops, light mustiness for the yeast, with a light spiciness in the background. Head is small, creamy white, with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is murky pastel yellow. Flavor is lightly sweet and acidic to start, and lightly acidic and very lightly bitter in the finish. Palate is light, watery/creamy and has a lively carbonation. Drinkable but a light beer all around, a bit boring.

Hangover (926) - Atlanta, USA - DEC 14, 2007
Bottled. Hazy lemon-orange color with a creamy white head. Lots of lemon in the aroma with a few nice notes of yeast and spiciness. Lots of carbonation, decent body. Slightly tart upfront. Leads into a bit more lemon, orange and coriander. Slightly sour finish, quick. Pretty refreshing, nice wit.

reddragon (28) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - DEC 14, 2007
UPDATED: DEC 18, 2007 Bottled. Poured very lively with creamy head. Used Wittekerke frosted glass. Nice presentation. Lemony-sweet witbier flavor. Not overly characterful... great beer for beginners.
