Another Mikkeller can brewed at/by Sly Fox. Labeled itself as 'imperial american wit beer brewed with spices'.

A - Dullish light orange color with plenty of chunky haze and rising carb bubbles. Lots of foam on the initial pour, pretty good retention and decent lace.

S - Grapefruit, earthy hops, light lemon, biscuit, bready vanilla, frosted cheerios.

T - Big hops for a witbier for sure with citrusy, herbal, grassy and melon coming through and a yeasty vanilla wheat base. There is light spice but not really getting any coriander which is rare for the style.

M - Somewhat biggish feel, highish carbonation, gets a little astringent with the hoppy/yeasty combo.

O - Almost Belgian IPA-ish but also distinctly witbier with vanilla wheaty tones. Becomes a tad abrasive overall perhaps but pretty nice plethora of flavors going on and a cool take on the style.

I got the the last pack of cans at the liquor store. Poured into a tulip.
Look: The head was great nice and thick and it mellowed down into a thin coating. The body is opaque hazy yellow/orange leaning toward the yellow side. I can see the yeast floating around and gathered at the bottom of my glass.
Smell: grain, sweetness, alcohol
Taste: right out of the refrigerator (40 degrees F): bitterness was more pronounced, and as the temperature rises the sweetness seems to come out more.
Feel: smooth, bubbles seem to wrap around my tongue and give it some mass... not thin but not thick
Overall: I enjoyed this beer and would definitely buy it again... but I am sad to hear that it is a limited release.

Rating number 150! A nice Witbier. Pours a orange juice color with a white head and a lot of lacing. The smell is predominantly black pepper. The flavor is lemon, black pepper and coriander. Smooth going down a good beer not sure why they would retire it.

L: yellow/orange color, opaque, lots of noticable "flaky" sediment floating in the glass, little head retention
S: Carameled sour apples, dough, alcohol, honey, some tropical hop notes like pineapple
T: Spicy phenol, clove, apple, finishes with a surprising dryness.
F: Carbonation could be a touch higher, bitterness is somewhat astringent and takes away from the flavors.
O: Decent wit, some aspects are different than one would expect for the style, almost more similar to a saison or hefe. Also wish it a little less hopped. Decent beer overall.

The beer comes in a juicy hazy light to medium gold.

The aroma offers limencello, a older hops, fresh scallion, crackery malts.

The flavor follows with more of that oxidative papery/cardboardy hop flavor, freshness is pushed upon with that cooked lemon quality offering some freshness with fresh white bready malts. Finish lingers with more cardboardy flavor.

12 oz. can into a Peroni pilsener glass. Hazy, peachy gold color, opaque but translucent, with streaming fine bubbles. Soapy 2 finger head, leaves thick lacing. Smells wheaty, floral, peachy, & nutmeg. Tastes dry, crisp, peppery, with a bitter, herbal hop finish. A touch of juicy fruit, peach maybe. Feels really crisp, prickly carbonation, medium bodied. Juicy & refreshing, with some complexity & depth. Overall, it's wheaty, spicy, crisp, fruity, hoppy, yeasty; quite a bit going on, nicely balanced. Maybe a bit heavy for a session brew, but would be great on a nice sunny afternoon. Enjoyable big wit.
