Get ready for a winterized version of a classic Belgian Witbier (white beer). Legend Winter White starts with a blend of Belgian malts and wheat in the mash for a rich, sweet body and tangy crispness. Spicy hops blend in the boil with coriander and orange peel. During fermentation these flavors combine harmonically with a Belgian Trappist yeast strain (banana, pear bubblegum). The creamy mouthfeel of this unique unfiltered winter warmer pairs well with salads, seafood, poultry and pork dishes.

Had this beer at the brewery poured into a shaker pint glass. Excellent head and lacing. Smell and taste of orange and coriander with a bit of cinnamon. Smooth feel and a bit hoppy. It was decent and went well with food but not a repeater.

Overall, a great wit. A fair rep of the style and a solid brew I'd try again.

A peachy, dark yellow brew with decent lacing. Nice level of cloudiness. Has a characteristic Belgian yeast smell with some sweet citrus-like high notes. The first taste had a sweet pop like cotton candy (calm down, it's true!), but it thankfully disappeared immediately. There's a spice zing, followed by that tart wheat bite, and it finishes yeasty, almost lemony, and pleasant. I'm not getting any of that lingering unpleasant tart/bitter taste that the style can sometimes have. Great tingly carbonation and fairly smooth mouthfeel.

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. The color is somewhere between orange and dark yellow. Smells like most Wit beers. Nice balanced taste. Not too heavy on the spices. Legends brews some good beer and this is one of them.

Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass.
Aroma- I catch hints of coriander, wheat and malt a sweet smell.
Appearance- A dark amber color with a small white head
Taste- The beer has a sweet flavor but it has an odd aftertaste that i found rather off putting.
Palate- A medium bodied beer with light carbonation. the aftertaste hurts this beer in my opinion.
Overall- i found this to be an average to slightly below average brew.
