Weird yellow pour that has lots of clarity, not to style at all. So much spice rack and coriander in the nose.
Taste was weirdly bitter, where is this coming from? Kind of weird in the style to have clarity, bitterness. This is out there. Frankenstein beer.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine #84 (Jan 2014):
A failed attempt from “label beer” producer World Brews, this crafty Belgian-style brew does not even come close to hitting any of the bells and whistles of the Witbier style. Pass on this one even if the price looks inviting.
STYLE: Witbier
ABV: 5.4%
AVAILABILITY: Year-round
LOOK: Hazed dull straw hue, decent head retention
SMELL: Fresh-cut grass, earthy, orangesicle, peppery, coriander, grainy, faintly soapy
TASTE: Dry, moderate-sized body, grainy twang, wet, slightly botanical, earthy, modest hopping, walnut skin, mineral, watery orange flavor, bone-dry finish

Has a nice complex aroma of citrus, malt and hops. This ale is dry and has a subtle sharpness to it. It pours nicely and is very refreshing. Its amazing you can get a 4 pack 16 oz, of this for $5.00. Its well worth price considering what you get. Its not as refined as some others but its a decent enough.

Served in a Kona shaker pint glass at Whole Foods - Schaumburg.
When you're low on cash but still want a beer at the bar, you've gotta go for the bargain-priced offerings. This one pours a partly-hazy brass topped by a finger of white foam. The nose comprises cracked wheat, mild orange zest, black pepper, clove, and a dash of cardamom. I actually like the peppered wheat thing going on here. The taste holds notes of wheat, coriander, light orange peel, clove, a pinch of black pepper, and a twist of lemon. The body is a rather light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, this could have been a solid wit, based on what the smell seemed to foretell. Instead, it turned out to be a slightly watered-down version of the style. Disappointment, indeed.
