Notes / Commercial Description:
This AmeriCAN take on the Belgian Classic Wit, featuring orange peel and coriander spice emanated from the basement blues music legacy Dave McIntyre (Oskar Blusologist) built at the original Oskar Blues Grill & Brew in Lyons, CO. On draft for over a decade, Priscilla's zesty citrus and light fresh baked bread aromas mix with spicy, fruity fermentation. Light bodied with a subtle savory spice accent and a dry, lightly tart finish you can nearly feel the flicker of the neon and sounds of the King. White Wit Wheat.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was a semi-ruddy/burnt yellow color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that sustains nicely and ends up dissipating at a nice pace. Moderate carbonation could be seen rising. The aroma has a sweet wheaty, semi-citrusy, low spicy (coriander-esque), Belgian yeasty esters and then a touch of bubblegum. The flavor leans sweetly through the previous mention of those aromas and the coriander seems to only compliment nicely. Clean sweet wheaty biting / semi-bubblegum sort of aftertaste sliding into a quick wet sweet finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels fairly low. Nice crisp wheatiness lays down on the tongue. Overall, another witbier by an American brewer coming to what I say "session standards." Good for what it is and I would prefer to have again in the Summer, but honestly, doesn’t compare to it’s Belgian counterparts. Though, I could have again for me.

I'm a fan of Wits. This one pours a typical golden beer color with a large white head and lacing. A yeast and bread smell turns into a citrus and coriander flavor. A little more carbonation than I like but not bad. Overall I'd buy again.

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a Shaker pint glass, "canned on" date 9-9-16.
APPEARANCE: pours a cloudy, straw color with less than one-finger white head that dissipated until a thin, broken layer of small bubbles remained, there is some lacing on the glass, lighter than average carbonation.
SMELL: banana bread and lemon citrus, very pleasant to the nose.
TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially banana and bread then a lemon citrus note and some spice at the end.
PALATE: medium body and lighter carbonation.
OVERALL: this is a fine wit beer, I would buy this again no problem and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the style.
