This is one of the best wit beers I've ever had. Clean and crisp but still has a homemade feel to it.

Very good - local imitation of a La Fin Du Monde and they did a pretty good job. Nice bready, yeasty aroma and flavor.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine #76 (May 2013):
A gem in hiding. Having had numerous Witbiers in our travels, this one had a leg up on most with its sheer balance alone. Nails all of the characteristics you look for in this style and a bit bigger than usual at 6% ABV, but still drinkable nonetheless.
STYLE: Witbier
ABV: 6.0%
AVAILABILITY: Year-round
LOOK: Hazy straw, lots of lace
SMELL: Orange peel, pithy, yeasty, bready, mildly spicy, coriander
TASTE: Incredibly smooth, slightly creamy, very bready, spicy, hint of alcohol, orange peel, zest, coriander, nutty, ripe plums, semidry finish

Not one of my favorite styles because it seems to easy to go overboard on the spice mix.
And that's the case here. Way too much corrinder, it gives the beer a celery taste and smell.
