Moored from a pint can, the body is a mostly clear gold. Initial fluffy head with not much lacing.

Nose is a clove-bubblegum aroma expected by style. Taste follows nose but adds a small sour flavor. Tart. Lemons and sweet grains.

Mouthfeel is average. Carbonation is good.

Not the tastiest wit I e ever had, but a solid drinker.

Medium light carbonation with a slightly thin body
Aroma was a nice mix of malt,yeast,spice,banana, mineral
Taste has a mild sweetness, banana, mineral,pear,malt and yeast.
A decent attempt at the style by a very good brewery

Poured out into a clear pint glass. The color was a light yellow with some haze and a white head. The smell was of fruits like banana and lemon. The taste was a little on the sweet side but a decent beer.

 

A: pours hazy gold body with small white head with ok retention and lacing.
S: banana/platinum smell; nothing crazy
T: sweet, citrus cooler taste with a banana/platinum aftertaste
M: medium bodied and pretty smooth; velvety
D: nice feel and taste combo; nice drinking beer; pretty solid

Wheat beer isn't my thing but I needed something less hoppy on one of my taps. Kane delivers no return kegs to the front door so it's way too easy not to take advantage.

OK.....it's sweet as you would expect. It's got a nice balance of flavors and is waaaaaay better than Blue Moon or Alagash or some other mass produce version. It's drinkable for sure, a nice change of pace and the ABV won't make you regret having another.

Notes via stream of consciousness: Kane's "Cloud Cover" is a Belgian-style Wheat Ale. Is it a witbier? Let's find out. It's poured a cloudy golden orange body beneath a short head of white foam. The aroma displays a Belgian yeast character with some spiciness and mineral and apple/pear and banana over a wheaty malt base. The flavor gives up even more banana, which is a little surprising, along with everything else. The wheat in the malt comes through, and it's pleasantly sweetish but also subtly acidic. It's really nicely rounded. There's a little bit of clove to it but mainly the spiciness is just a kind of "spiciness" if that makes any sense. There's some woodiness to it, and a bit of black pepper, but it's mainly more of a generic kind of "spiciness". It has a moderate bitterness to it, a touch of acidity, and a dry finish. Am I getting some citrus here? Yes, I think so. I think that this is intended to be a witbier, and that it includes bitter orange peel and coriander seed (which gives it the woody part of the spiciness). There's nothing like that on the label but hey, everyone's ignoring the label laws lately. As far as witbiers go it's maybe a touch sweet, but not by too much, and slightly soft on the spicing - but it also has that banana note which is interesting. I like it. In the mouth it's light-medium in body and gently crisp with a slight bit more bit due to its mild acidity. Overall this is both an interesting and refreshing beer that I could enjoy all year 'round.

Pours a semi opaque light peach color with a fast dissipating white foamy head.Smell is some grains and tangerine.Taste is a smooth wash of mellow citrus perfectly balanced,the malt barely offsetting the hops. Feels creamy and smooth.Light body finishes . Overall this is a great representation of a Witbier.

Hazy bright golden with white bubbly. Aroma of banana, clover, honey, citrus. Tastes of light honey, citrus, banana, clover, and vanilla. Light bodied with zesty carbonation.

Thank you TheGent for this
16 oz can poured into a tulip

A- A fairly hazy golden straw with a small white head.

S- Wheat, cloves, slightly tart, light fruits, hints of bananas.

T- Wheat, lemons, slightly tart, cloves, light fruits, touch of bananas, slightly earthy.

M- Smooth, light to medium body.

O- A tasty wit, nothing super special but still well brewed.

 

Big pure white head, sizzles off around the edges like it was frying in butter, starts to dimple in a pretty fashion. Translucent pipe rust water yellow, huge amount of super-tiny bubbles fill the glass. There’s some rotten egg, sulfur sort of thing to the nose, falls short of metallic, slowly doles out corn flour, wheat Chex cereal, vague pepperiness, not registering any distinct fruit scent at all. Medium-bodied, the powerful carbonation makes it crest in the mid-palate. More floral here but barely citrusy. grainy more than yeasty. Maybe a suggestion of bubblegum. Gently spiced. Apple, pear, apricot fruit also of light touch. Outside of the funk on the nose it’s not flawed in any overt way. Just, sadly, kind of boring, even within its idiom. (Canned 6/19/20)

 

 

I’m happy they finally canned this beer. Tons of sulfur on the nose, it’s really all I get from aroma. Tastes much better than it smells. Yeast kind of takes the back seat, you get the normal clove/ester but it’s a little less present than most wits. Sweetness is nice and not over done along with the coriander. Overall is a pretty easy drinking beer. Feel like it would pair best on a nice hot day, like most wits, but this one goes down very easy and is lighter than most so it’s a perfect match.
