This beer was produced for their 10th anniversary.
Poured a straw color with ample head and served with an orange garnish. Removed the garnish and took a whiff. Fruity aroma with a hint of malt. Was it lingering orange? Hard to tell.
Tasted of orange and other fruits. Reminded me of the Berghoff Solstice, but maybe a little fuller of flavor. Not a bad representation of the style as far as I was concerned. Would be a good lawnmower beer.
Plenty of lacing and a decent mouthfeel. I would drink it again if I was there in August or July.

Appearance: very light hazy pale yellow color that looks weak. A short 1/4" head quickly disappears. No lacing develops.
Smell: orange citrus and spices are easily detectable by the nose.
Taste: soft orange citrus, hint of banana, very mild coriander, and a mild malt profile. Overall spiciness seems off balanced.
Mouthfeel: crisp from start to finish. Little aftertaste. Thin bodied.
Drinkability: a very sad looking and weak wit beer. Not impressed and not worth seeking out.

Poured a light golden color, slightly cloudy. Small head that dissipated quickly. They served it with a lemon sitting on top suspended by a toothpick. I much prefer my lemon on the side so I can taste the beer without the lemon and decide if it is needed.
Aroma was of citrus [I'm sure the lemon had something to do with this].
Taste was fruity, sweet, bubblegum. Rather dry and raw grainy taste. Somewhat unpleasant. Seems to have missed the mark on the style.
Mouthfeel was light, cleansing and lively.
Overall, somewhat drinkable, but not one I would like to have again.

Hazy light gold in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of grainy wheat, coriander, flowers, and a bit of chlorine. Very lemony flavor, along with an interesting lactic sour vs. slightly sweet thing. Medium bodied... but more like its underattenuated as opposed to wheaty thick. Overall, its a fairly middle of the road wit. Perhaps a bit too straightforward and lacking in a bit of the funky yeastiness of its Belgian counterparts.

A- man did this look good, very frothy head, that left some of the better lacing I've seen, cloudy orange-yellow
S- This disappointed me, I couldn't smell too much of anything, some lime definately and maybe a bit of malt
T- Different flavor, not sure it has the best balance, very complex, begins with the traditional orange peely taste but is quickly overpowered by pear and finishes with a touch of lime and corriander
M D-pretty light and smooth goes down pretty easy
