Bone dry and highly carbonated with hints of curacao orange peel, and spice from a Trappist ale yeast.

T: strong coriander and clove upfront. Green apples, pears, and nice spicy Belgian yeast. Sweet citrus and grassy finish

M: medium mouthfeel with strong carbonation

O: very solid beer. Nice example of the style, I don’t really have anything to knock. It’s a touch sweet, but it works

Clear, golden body; excellent carbonation; thick, dense and sudsy white head, mountainous. Beautiful aroma; floral sweetness; citrus notes; mild spiciness. Light honey-like sweetness to the taste; mild citrus undercurrent; barely perceptible hop bitterness. Generally light body, feels a bit thin; crisp and semi-dry.

The nuanced flavors and generally overall lightness of this beer makes for a great thirst quencher.

Sampling a cold 16 oz can poured into my weiss glass. Picked up at a local beer shop, canned on date is 5/24/2021.
Pouring the beer it is a bright straw gold to almost champagne color with some cloudiness and a minimal fizzy bleached white head foaming up less than .5cm. This foam fades to one circular island being fed by several active streams of carbonation rising from the depths.
Aroma is pretty mild with hints of lemon and some bready notes. I also get a little orange scent too. Not a very bold nose, but the parts are appropriate for the style.
First sip reveals a light body with fairly crisp texture and very fine and zingy carbonation. Beer drinks easy on the physical side of things.
Flavor is similar to the nose and is also kind of mild. Maybe my beer is too cold still, but my beer fridge is actually at the lowest setting, so maybe it is simply a mild beer.
Some lemon and more bready yeast flavor and again some orange. the finish does have a bit of a spicy note, sort of black pepper with a little bite. No hint of hops nor ABV anywhere.
Easy drinking beer for a hot summer day, with enough different notes to keep it interesting if you have more than one.

While I'm surprised that no one has reviewed this since 2019, I can confirm that it still tastes as good as implied in the earlier reviews. Not cloyingly sweet...it is actually on the dry side. It forgoes the use of coriander, instead focusing on Curaçao orange peel and Trappist yeast. There is just the slightest hint of bitterness, but one that adds to the overall pleasant character. It is not very hoppy (keeping with the style)....just enough to keep it interesting. The overall result is a tasty, well-balanced, Wit beer that is easy to drink.

A- Tallboy pours into a chalice with a very slightly hazy golden body. The head is thick and creamy rising to an inch high with great retention. A sheet stays atop the beer with a wide ring at the edges and lacing is

S- Spicy Belgian yeast is the dominant factor in the aroma with support from the orange zest and a hint of coriander as well. A bit on the mild side with vanilla sweets, citrus peel, whole wheat bread, banana and clove.

T- Definitely on the milder side for a witbier as the aroma suggested but even a bit more on the palate. It just kind of feels like the spicy and yeasty flavors are a bit diluted. They don't taste bad just somewhat timid. Opens up with the orange peel and coriander before Belgian yeast spice, peppercorn, clove, banana, whole wheat bread, vanilla sweets and slight pear round it out.

MF- Light bodied with a high level of carbonation. The texture is a bit on the thin side but not watery as there is some foamy and frothy consistency.

A bit on the milder side for a wit in terms of overall yeasty Belgian flavor but in the end it is smooth and an easy drinking interpretation on the style.

Had this on tap at Seymour in Greenfield, MA. The beer had a creamy white head with a slightly murky yellow appearance. I thought the aromas reminded me of a white wine like drink. The drink itself was sweet with a fruit flavor that I could only say was like apricots. Great combination of creamy body with good carbonation. Overall, i thought the aroma was the best trait to this beer.
