3.6 Cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is coriander and a bit of citrus. Flavor is fairly crisp with a bit of citrus and spice. Light on the palate, fairly refreshing. Wife: 3.6

3.5 Refreshing and tart. Tastes like split pea soup, lemon and orange. Pours light yellow with minimal head.

3.1 Warner Robins, Ga. - Lazy Dog Growler - 12 oz bottle. Hazy light gold pour, no head. Light spiciness in the aroma with coriander. Flavor is refreshing with some light lemony notes, some coriander spiciness, some yeasty notes in the back end. Thick enough mouthfeel.

3.9 A really good belgium wit that’s easy drinking. Aroma is a little unimpressive with elements of banana and orange peel. The taste is much better with nice amounts of clove, banana, and citrusy notes. The finish is refreshing and not too clingy. If you like wit beers, you’ll like this one!

2.8 Bottle - fair size foamy head, hazy light yellow color, very lemon/citrusy aroma and flavor, mild yeasty spice, mild malt backbone, pretty mild wit but definitely very refreshing

3.6 Refrigerated 12 oz. brown squat bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours opaque pale golden with small white head. Aroma is effervescent citrus, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small bubble lacing. Taste is rich esters, lemon, some coriander, and hints of citrus. Like the richness in this one.

3.4 Bottle. Pours hazy straw color with fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. Banana, clove and bgisn yeast in the nose. Taste is banana and grain with a bit if spice. Soft carb; medium light body. Easy drinking. Good summer witbier.

3.7 Hazy yellow color. Clove and banana in the nose. Taste follows, but is more subdued than the aroma. Great easy drinking witbier.

3.2 Cloudy pale yellow. Smell is estery, spice, and sweet grains. Taste more spicy than nose indicated with bubblegum. Nice summer wit.

2.6 Aroma: Bubble gum at the forefront, but also some lemon and a puff of coriander; almost like a Hefeweizen with so much gum. Appearance: Cloudy yellow pour with a foamy white head that settles into a healthy white ring. Flavor: Gummy throughout with a squeeze of lemon; gum gets fairly sweet and overpowers all other impressions. Palate: Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation, abrupt finish. Overall: Too unbalanced to standout in the style; very one-note.

3.0 Light for summer. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with light white head. Citrus, lemon zest, and raw wheat on the nose; follows onto the palate.

3.9 Tap. Pours cloudy yellow. Nose is a nice lemon. Taste is lemon zest and Belgian yeast. Maybe some bubblegum.

3.5 bottle. hazy golden with small head. light body with solid white spicing. very nice balanced flavor.

4.1 An aptly-titled brew, considering that it is the color of sunshine. While I did find the citrus tones to be a bit heavy and the carbonation to be slightly harsh, I really dug this brew. It’s one of the more refreshing wheat ales that I’ve ever had. The sweet wheat malt is ridiculously satisfying when paired with the citrus flavor. Cool bottle, too.

3.0 Bottle. A- Oranges, spices, wheat. A- Yellow color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Oranges, lemons, coriander, spices, wheat. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, spiced finish. O- Not a bad Witbier but was a lot spicier than I had expected.

3.6 12 oz bottle (best by 10/15/13, 7 weeks ago) from Tipsy’s into my Funkwerks glass. Pale yellow appearance with a frothy white head. Fresh aroma of orange peel, lemon juice, coriander, herbs, yeast, light spices and bready malts. Similar flavor, lightly sweet with an average body. Smooth and refreshing flavor.

3.5 Good wit. Nice aromas of coriander and citrus, leaning toward lemony. Light golden yellow color with a white head. Crisp and clean palate. Refreshing. Flavors are traditional wit with lemon and orange peel and the given coriander. Some spice and a little yeast. Good example of the style.

3.0 Bottle at Niko’s with friends. Pour is slightly hazy golden with a big white head and good lacing. Wheaty, bready, lightly grassy, a touch smoky, doughy, and a hint of spice in the aroma. Taste is light lemon, oranges, straw, doughy, light pepper, grainy, and bready with a lightly spicy aftertaste. Light body with high carbonation. Pretty boring wit.

2.9 Pours a golden color with full white head, little lacing. Aromas of bread dough, citrus, coriander, some hops. Malty-sweet flavors offset by hops bitterness and slightly sour ale fermentation. A very good, true-to-style Belgian Wit.

3.5 On tap at Stroud’s in Kansas City. Pours a cloudy golden color with white head. Spicy, wheat, yeasty, refeshing flavors. Nice

3.6 Pours light hazy yellow color with large white head out of bottle. Strong coriander aroma with a hint of citrus. Good flavor of spices with grain and citrus. Good beer.

3.3 Bottle. Cloudy yellow with a foamy white head. Aromas of wheat, yeast, lemon, citrus and spice. Flavors of sweet lemon, citrus, wheat, spice and yeast. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, refreshing.

2.9 hazy yellow color, head is thin but persists. aroma is wheat and citrus. flavor is wheat coriander and citrus. medium to lively carbonation.

3.0 Bottle; poured a hazy gold color with a good sized white. Aroma of banana and spice. Vanilla and banana, touch of spice. Mild

3.3 Bottle; color was a hazy gold. Aroma of spices, bread and wheat. Flavor of wheat and citrus. Drinkable.

3.3 Light refreshing wit. Aroma true to style but subdued. Color slightly dark. Taste light frefreshing with citrus notes at center.

2.8 Stunned by the scores on this one! Just bland & blah to me. Pours a murky gold w/ a tiny white head & very little lacing. Aroma is nearly nonexistent. Taste follows suit. Summer beer I guess but still? A tiny upgrade from a blue moon!

3.3 Draught. Pours a very cloudy yellowish tan color with almost no head on it; the pour reminded me quite a bit of lemonade. Nose has some subtle citrus elements coming through over the wheatiness of the beer, though I don’t get a lot of the spices the description suggests. Taste is light and a little sweet, but the spices do come through subtly here. Nice little summer beer.

3.8 Hazy orange straw pour some white head. Aroma of coriander, wheat, banana yeast. Tastes of yeast and orange. Wonderful slight tart lactic mouthfeel. Light carb. This is a great entry level wit. I wish Hoegarden was as good as this.

3.8 12 oz. bottle. Perfect appearance of hazy gold with a dense white head. Great yeast aromatics. Clove, banana, citrus fruits and light coriander. Very true to style flavor of orange peel, coriander, lemongrass and wheat back bone. Lightly tart finish. Dry texture with the correct amount of Co2. I went to reach for another when I realized I only had one bottle. This is a very good Wit! Would pay money for another.
