Backlog. 11.2 oz bottle. Smells of old socks, Sweet-tarts. This is the most unpleasant Wit I’ve ever smelled. Pours a nice head which dissipates somewhat quickly; pale, pale yellow hue; lots of sediment floating around in there. Taste is sour, then sweet. This is the weirdest Wit I’ve yet to try. Not bad at all, though--apart from the aroma.

Nice light, crisp beer. Generous lace with appealing hazy, light pale yellow color. Taste of hop and citrus accompanied with a slight spicey spike. Medium carbonation and smooth feel.

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