Thanks to JLindros for sharing this bottle.

A - Poured into a wine glass at Red Pepper a nice slightly hazy pale straw hue with a thick one finger white head that fades to leave light lacing and thin blanket.

S - Big aromas of creamy wheat and flashes of bright citrus. Loads of almost banana like aroma.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice esters and flashes of banana. There are good brighter citrus peel and juice along with a little sweeter older hop element. Big creamy wheat.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, little creamy, clean finish.

O - Overall this was a solid enough witbier though the yeast notes are a bit high. Light lemon grass hops and citrus peel, pleasant overall.
