(330 ml can: Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) Okay, so it’s not the most flavorful witbier out there, but it certainly looks gorgeous in the glass. Pale golden yellow body is fully cloudy and the dense, fluffy, white head fills the top inch and a half of the glass, rising just to the point of overflow. Very lemony nose introduces the flavor quite accurately. Is there anything but lemon in this? Slightly tart, hints of coriander and orange peel, but the lemony citrus is dominant. Clean, nicely-carbonated palate is very refreshing, but also seems a touch thin and watery. Head retention has been excellent, and lacing is a moth-eaten curtain. Not too much here, but it’s pleasant, refreshing and easy to drink.

Bottle and can. Very clean wheat beer. Small white head. Sweet aroma and sweet flavor with lemon aftertaste. Very light overall. Almost flat when out of can, but the bottle still retains the proper amount of carbonation. I drink this regularly, but don’t waste your time on the canned version!

330 ml bottle. Pale yellow, cloudy beer topped by a white head. Almost non-existant aroma. A bit of lemon citrus, wheaty spice and some appley esters. Flavour is also citrusy with a touch of coriander as well. Nice spiciness and a fairly pronounced pale maltiness. Quite a nice wit, but a little bit timid.
