16oz glass at Beer Rev Edmonchuk.

This beer appears a rather cloudy, tarnished apricot amber hue, with one skinny finger (a good thing in this particular situation) of finely foamy and somewhat creamy bone-white head, which leaves some randomly eroded limestone face lace around the glass as things slowly abate.

It smells faintly of gritty wheat grain, a hard water minerality, ethereal fruity and spicy esters, and a bit of musty yeast. The taste is semi-sweet, mildly spicy wheat malt, a hint of caramel sweetness, banana split fruity and sugary notes, a suggestion of generic citrus hoppiness, and more lazy, just kickin' it, yeast.

The bubbles are quite sedate, but hardly AWOL in their low-level frothiness, the body a tad on the lee side of medium weight, and plainly smooth, nothing really caring to mess with the minor equilibrium evolving here. It finishes off-dry, the zingy wheat, sweet savoury spice, and late-arriving, but still muted orange citrus manifesting as such.

An enjoyable, sort of West Coast-tinged wheat ale. The purported citrusy hops certainly play nothing more than a background role here, leaving the heavy lifting to the rest of this capable Belgian-heritage brew, to no ill effect. Easy to drink, and especially worthy on this perfectly rendered July afternoon, the tar-laying machines on the street just outside notwithstanding.

A well crafted Wit from Townsite that works with a solid mouthfeel and a decent amount of citrus notes for the style. Love to have this on tap on a patio as I could drink a lot of it . Not a big or outfront as some BC Wheats but worth the purchase when I see it
