Bottle says Batch No. 50, but I can't find any date info on their website.
Got a really big pop of the cork on this one. Decent appearance, what I expect for this style. Smells of belgian yeast and lemon citrus, a hint of the sourness to come as well. Flavor is immediately tart and lemony. Tilts towards a sour although not really complex. Crisp feel and finish.
Good carbonation, delivers the "zesty mouthfeel" they promise on the bottle. Decent and drinkable, but doesn't blow me away.

Batch # 147
Appearance - Pours a pale straw with two fingers of bubbly white head.
Smell - wheat, orange peel, coriander, apples, belgian yeast (banana, clove), spicy hops, bready malts.
Taste - Starts off with the wheat, orange peel, and coriander then goes into the apple. The belgian yeast is lost and the hops are barely noticeable.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. Finishes dry with a lingering sweetness from the apple and the malts.
Overall - A so-so wit. Some modifications need to be made to makes this a standout.
