Anna's notes (Phil's may follow): Hazy yellow beer with a small head. The aroma is the best bit, with fruitiness, hints of pleasant funk, and a hint of spice. But this is mealy in the mouth, and a bit watery and bland. I do get some nice white pepper in the finish, but this is still a bit disappointing overall - they have brewed much better.
Bottle from Whole Foods Blossom Hill in San Jose, CA. Aroma is mild funk, golden raisin must, yeast, earthy wood. Taste is tart, funky, oak...straightforward sour feoder vibes but funky and refreshing.

Pours a very pale hazy straw color with almost no head. Aroma is citrus (lemon) and spice, taste follows the nose but is nicely sour. Very nice offering!
Bottle shared @Brasserie 4:20 (Rome). Giallo paglierino, torbida, opalescente, schiuma bianca media. Al naso sentori di frumento, stalla, cantina, spezie (coriandolo). In bocca è morbida, piacevolmente dolcina all'attacco con acidulo finale, rinfrescante, leggermente pepata. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione medio-leggera. Che buona!
Bottled on 11-26-2012 opened on 9-20-2017. Old ass bottle, but what the hell. Looks and smells like a cider, cloudy, very foamy. Foam is soapy in appearance, not lacing like a higher alcohol beer. Tastes very white, flavor is good, aftertaste is a little disappointing. I thought it was a cider... it would have been cooler if it was.
Appearance: Bottled 28/7-2016. Hazy yellow, small fizzy white head.
Aroma: Tart light fruits, lemon, slight spices, shy wheat.
Taste: Wow, pretty tart, lemon, spices. Don’t get much wheat.

Draft offering, surprising find, aroma is kind of blase with some tartness, lemon rind, lip balm, light bodied, taste follows suit with some flowery elements, some fatness, ok beer I suppose..
35,5cl Bottle @ LaBIRRAtorium, Madrid, Spain.
Hazy golden colour with a thin white head.
Aroma is wheat, citrus, slightly yeasty.
Taste is wheat, citrus, hints of fruits, slightly sour.
Medium body, average to soft carbonation.
For whatever reason I wasn’t getting the tartness I normally get from a Jolly Pumpkin beer, I suspect something was off with my particular brew. The corriander and orange peel really shone in this brew and it was nice, but it wasn’t soured like a normal Jolly Pumpkin beer. I’ll have to try again, but man I was still really really into it, and that’s crazy to me.
Tap in Ann Arbor with GLBTQ crew. Hoegaarden style glass. Hazy, unfiltered appearance. White head. Nose is refreshingly bright and tart with orange characteristics. Taste is tart with a lean towards a sour citrus quality. Soft spice undertone helps to quell the impact of citrus rind. Grassy qualities. A strong representation of a witbier especially those in the sour end of the spectrum.
From tap. Hazy gold, foamy white head that quickly devolved to a thin collar. Light funk, wheat on the nose. Medium sour flavors, lemon, grass. Dry spritzy mouthfeel. Dry mostly grassy finish. Refreshing
Bottle sample. Tasted on the 12/05/2017 at MBCC (Copenhagen). Cloudy yellow colour with a thin smooth white head. Aroma of yeast, lemon and other citrics, grass and cereal. Taste is slightly sour and citric. Refreshing and easy to drink. Next one please!
Tap at J’s. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Light pear and yeast nose. Soft carbonation, lemon and a lingering tartness on the finish. Smooth with a touch of limeade on the end. Quite nice.
Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a murky dark yellow color with a medium sized creamy white head that left good lacing. The aroma was tart and citric with a bit of chalk, dry and funky with a hint of pineapple. The flavor was sweetish and tangy with tart lemon, mango and pineapple. Long finish. Medium body. Decent
Fad: Lysegul diset øl med et fint skumhoved. Duften er stald med lidt witbier noter, men mest stald. Frisk og sur er kendetegnene. Der er ikke meget witbier over den. Men rigtig lækker er den dog.
duft: frisk citrus lidt krydret
smag frisk citrus lime svag krydret let drikkelig
