A - Hazy light medium gold color with thin sticky white lacing.

S - Banana, clove, and light spiciness with an overall bready character.

T - Bready base with light coriander, some delicate orange peel, yeasty character, and finishes on the bready, yeasty, sweeter side.

M - Medium body with some thinness around the edges.

O - Solid, not memorable.

From the can it pours a slightly cloudy yellow color, more on the pale side. A large foamy head head retains well. Not the most exciting looking Wit, but mostly hits the style guidelines.

Aromas of orange peel and coriander stand out as per the style. Notes of honey, wheat and cracker comprise the malt aroma.

This is a more light bodied version of the style, smooth yet with some crispness. The carbonation is a bit on the gentle side. Dry palate overall with crisp cracker malt and slightly creamy wheat. Neither too bitter or sweet, the neutral malt backbone allows the yeast to run the show. This includes a bright citrusy twang and spicy notes of coriander. The finish is clean and dry.

Not the most interesting Wit, however, its low ABV allows it to be refreshing and sessionable.

A: Cloudy white color.
S: Slight smell of cloves and banana
T: Watery with slight taste of banana and cloves.
M: Light in body. Not much malt flavor or body.
O: This beer seems to need improvement.
