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.

Pours a cloudy pale orangey/yellow color with a thing bright white head. Terrible retention and no lacing.

The aroma isn't quite typical for a wit. After reading the neck of the bottle it seems they used multiple forms of citrus, so it has orange, lemon, and lime as opposed to just orange peel. I definitely smell the lime, and I get a bit of orange as well. The problem for me is I can't smell any corriander. Big disappointment when considering a wit.

The taste is not offensive, but definitely not right for the style. It's like a cup of orange juice. Big citrus notes. Orange is easy to detect, traces of lemon come through, and a hint of lime at the end. The corriander is seemingly nonesistent. Not impressed here.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and lightly but crisply carbonated.

Drinkability is moderate. It's not unpalateable, just not to style. For me, I can't see drinking more than one of these and I certainly wouldn't purchase it again. I would drink one if someone handed it to me though.

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.,.
