Fad: Taster. Klassisk belgian wit, meget diset med et stort skumhoved. God duft af lemonade og gær. Kraftig smag igen af lemonade. Ikke min øl type den dag, men en god amerikansk version af typen.
Draft at brewery. Nose is light perfume, very subtle with the coriander. Pour is very cloudy yellow. Taste is a light sweetness with a wildflower honey character. A creamy mouthfeel but not too thick. Very well balanced.
On tap @ Russian River. Pours a hazy light yellow appearance with a white head. Aroma has some grass, black pepper, and light fruit and thankfully isn’t dominated by a bunch of spice junk. Lemon, light tart flavor. Bone dry. Bready / crackery. Super easy drinking. Would fuck.
On tap at the source. Im digging this. Pours a cloudy pale color. Aroma is citrus and clove. Taste is mild sweetness, very light acid, and a touch of bittering which comes off as citrus zest.
Draft as part of the full sampler at Russian River. Hazy straw yellow with off-white head. Aromas of citrus, spices, banana. Tastes of banana, spices, floral notes, citrus. Medium-light body with a dry finish.
Draft at RRBC. Color like lemon merigne pie. Fresh yeast aroma. Was apparently just relaesed today. No nasty yeast bite. Refreshing.

Clear yellow. Nose is sweet milky and bitter very nice. Fresh rolled cookies, lots of pine needles. Cinnamon and brown sugar.
On tap @ RR! Milky lemon colored pour with a small ivory cap. Citrus pith, coriander, freshly baked dough, peppery spice, and honey. Pretty good example of the style.

Sampled at the brewery. pours cloudy yellow with a nice looking creamy white head. Banana, lemon, grass, and slightly spicy yeast aroma. pretty standard witbier smell. Flavor is honey, coriander, hay, yeast, banana, pear, a bit of wheat on the finish. Light bodied with medium plus carbonation, but soft and makes this nice and smooth. Overall a worthwhile witbier.
On tap at the Brewpub in February 2014.
Yellowish with a white head. Soft and easy to drink with citrus, light spices (mainly coriander) and some wheat. A bit thin mouthfeel.
Sampler at the brewery- pours cloudy golden. Clean, nice wit beer. Oddly tasty.
From the sampler tray at the brewery. Hazy yellow. Spicy, slightly spicy nose and flavor. Really good.
Draft at the brewery. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is relatively mild with some Belgian yeast character and a hint of spice. Flavor packs a punch with clove spice and Belgian yeast. Clove lasts into the finish. Distinct compared to then others. Delicious.
On tap @ O’Brien’s: Poured a glowing yellow with little thin head. Aroma is spicy with coriander seeds and orange peels. Smells better than most witbiers imported from Belgium do. The drink is spicy as well with the same flavors of coriander and orange peel. Has a real authentic Belgian yeast which is satisfying considering it was brewed in California.
Draft - Lemon, grass and coriander. Pale hazy gold with a rich white head. Very light typical flavours, lemon, grass and yeast. Not a hit, when even the macros do it better.
Tap: Pour is a light amber color with a small white head. Nose is of citrus and wheat.

On tap at brewpub on 062013. Hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma has wheat, light banana, citrus, light cloves and spices. Taste is light sweet with a light bitter touch and a spicy note.
On tap at the brewpub. It pours a yellow body under a white head. A touch of citrus peel in this one, with pale malts and some faint spiced hints. Medium to thin on the palate, with a pleasant level of carbonation. Flavors of wheat, citrus peel and a little bitterness. Almost no coriander. Overall, a tad boring, but refreshing anyway. 130806
