Appearance - Pours a clear gold with two fingers of foamy white head.
Smell - bready wheat malts, orange, lemon, spicy yeast, hint of cranberry, earthy and floral hops, and coriander.
Taste - Bready wheat malts along with the tartness of cranberries, spicy yeast, and orange/lemon. Hops are very mild on this one.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Dry finish with lingering tartness.
Overall - An interesting addition of cranberries to a traditional wit style. I think the appearance could be brought back to its more traditional hazy clarity, but that's a minor edit. Very refreshing.

650ml bottle, a collaboration with the Vancouver area chain of pubs called Tap & Barrel, which resulted in a 'Belgian-style peach and cranberry (read: summer) wit'.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some high-flying cirrus cloud lace around the glass as it slowly but surely abates.
It smells of raw, sort of underripe peaches, a generic red fleshy fruitiness, semi-sweet grainy and wheaty malt, some muddled pepper and coriander spice, and a tame earthy, leafy, and floral bitterness. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a lesser wan wheatiness, canned peaches, still hard to differentiate dark fruity notes, a lighter citrusy tang, some rising estery floral essences, and more weakening earthy coriander and neutered table-top pepper mill spiciness.
The carbonation is quite light and yet still engaging through its gently coddling frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess settling in as things warm up a tad (not too hard a thing to do around here right now). It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and fruity character nicely playing us out.
Overall, it is indeed a grand thing to see Whistler amping up their game of late (their Unique Brews, namely), and this witbier follows suit - fairly true to style, and a simple pleasure to put back, on a day when the heat and humidity require a salve of sorts.
