Trying to be fair to this brew...It's not a wit, it's not a Ami wheat ale...it's a hybrid..

Has more of a hefe/wheat ale look. Cloudy Aprocot. Not much in the way of head or lacing.

Here's where the hybrid begins...orange peel, coriander mixed with a semi-tart citrus...doesn't mesh that well.

Citrus notes of an American Wheat Ale dominate things from frist sip. Slight sourness followed by some spiciness more akin to a Wit.

Mouthfeel certainly on the lighter, creamier side as per a good Wit

A fence sitter...pulls from both styles but doesn't hit the notes to be one or the other..

Pours a hazy, pale yellow with a white head. Retention isn't great but the film that results is after the bloom from the pour dissipates lasts quite a long time. Really good page.
Smell is sourish, and light malt, citrus, banana, and spices. Balance is good.
Taste is the same with malt, banana, citrus, spices. Balance is good here, too.
Almost medium bodied, slightly warming, drying finish. A fine wit and only $4 at my local store.

Pours a murky light orange with a foamy bone head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, yeast, spice, and slight citrus aromas. Taste is much the same with grain, wheat, and spice flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of yeast bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is light and fairly refreshing.

Pours practically no head on a cloudy medium straw colored body.
The aroma is nice: orange, banana and honey.
The taste is pleasant fruit forward with a nice dry lemon bitter coming through the middle to end. The spices are nice too.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
Enjoyable for a witbier.
