Originally known as Spring Heat Spiced Wheat

We’ve shaken up traditional tastes by brewing a spiced Belgian-style wheat ale with real orange, lemon and lime peels,and then added a little coriander spice to the mix. This uniquely-crafted and award-winning ale is unfiltered to create a brew that is naturally cloudy with a light golden color and a smooth, refreshing finish.

Tap hit at a local seafood place. They added a dollar to the value by calling it a ‘craft beer’, lol.,.
Cold and flat in the chilled mug, a wedge of orange attached. Smells bland, but slightly Sunny D. Taste is ok to rinse a shrimp po’boy down, but I’ll not get a refill.,.

12oz can

On the pour not even 1 finger of average white head formed then in under a minute it completely dissipates. Despite that and my clean glass, bubbles cling to the side of the glass from excessive carbonation. Hazy golden orange body.

Aroma is light for the style with hints of citrus, but no coriander. A touch metallic with a grainy finish.

Taste is decent, with some nice but subtle orange flavor right in front of an almost sweet, wheaty malty body. A touch doughy. Really not bad, but not quite a full on belgian wit.

Feel is highly carbonated and very refreshing. Much better when poured in a glass than when left in the can. At first it seems like its going to be full bodied, but the body quickly drops off as a dryness sets in. The wheat flavor stacks around for the finish, but this gets light fast. Basically a lawnmower beer.

Overall this is decent for an AB product, but it's too expensive for what it is. I don't get any coriander, and the orange basically replaces any hop character. Not bad to change up the pace from lagers, but not something to give a shot if youn are looking for a quality Belgian style Wit.
