Pours cloudy gold, voluminous head
Light nose, some spice
Touch of tartness, citric, . No bitterness but lack of sweetness and dry finish means it matters not.
Never my favourite style, this one is one of the best imo

On draft at Founding Farmers in DC. Served in a tulip glass. Pours a hazy and cloudy bright straw yellow body, one finger thick white head, good retention and lots of lacing. Smell is a bit of mineral, typical wit spice profile, a bit of wheat and sweet bread. It's clean on the flavour side, a bit bland in some ways, not all that different though more full-throated in terms of flavour compared to Blue Moon. Medium-lighter bodied, good carbonation, goes well with the smoked sausage mussels that were ordered along with this. A bit less spice than I am accustomed to from traditional wits, but maybe I've had more of the Allagash White/Hoegaarden type beers lately.

Yes, the Belgians do it right. One of the best Wits I've had. Light and delicate.
