Bought from Beermiscuous (as did many of the raters on UnTappd that I just read thru, only 28 in 2 months.)
As for Walter, I think Empirical should be proud of this wit. A first release (although it is their third wit), Walter plays well to what the Belgian tradition does for summer; refresh the palate for lighter foods.

Saddled by average Looks and mildly fruity Smells, Walter recovers by offering a balanced Taste in which the wheat sits softly in the mouth and scrubs the tongue to take another bite of, in this case, my world-famous ratatouille. Walter is not the best of the 140 wits I've had, but with a more energetic yeast it will climb many rungs of the wit ladder next year.

I revisited Empirical's website and see that not Covid, but a leaky roof, has sent their taproom into a tailspin... seven years after it opening. I hope they recover. In the meantime, cans are good enough.
