From a keg at King of Kings Lutheran Church Oktoberfest.

Pours a hazy dark orangey Amber.

Nose has subtle citrusy spice and some malt and hops.

Taste has subtle Orange but mostly malt. A non-complex but drinkable beer.

A 16oz pint at Beer Revolution. Welly welly well.

This beer appears a muddled, cloudy dark orange-brick amber hue, with one very skinny finger of thinly foamy, wispy off-white head, which leaves a few sparse streaks of Eugene Tooms finger lace around the glass as things sink away.

It smells of sharp orange citrus peel, menthol, pale bready caramel malt, a bit of green spruce tip, mild earthy yeast, and some hard to place spice - maybe cardamom? The taste is toffee-tinted pale malt, orange liqueur, a hint of acrid yeast, soft white pepper, quite subtle coriander spice, and a tame earthy, leafy hoppiness.

The carbonation is even-handed, and generally low-key, the body medium-light in weight, and actually pretty smooth. It finishes off-dry, the malt, neutered orange, and spice maintaining a workable level of sweetness.

An ok witbier that isn't really a witbier? The orange and spice kind of lean heavy that way, but I understand that the base beer intentions are not so. Anyways, a less than complex, but drinkable enough fruit beer - I could see having a few rounds of this if I was forced to skip the old in-out, just because I had to read the damned meter.
