16 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours very hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, banana, bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, orange peel, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, banana, bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; yeast spiciness; and wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, banana, bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, orange peel, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent witbier. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, orange peel, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and pretty refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Perfectly balanced Wit yeast, spices, and pale/wheat malts. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on classic tasting style example.
