A - Slightly cloudy golden yellow colour with an inch of fluffy white head.
S - An obvious wheat malt note with some citrus hints. Faint grape juice aroma too.
T - Very much like the smell.
M - Light to medium bodied, fairly high carbonation.
D - Not the best witbier I've had but it's still a fairly decent, refreshing drop.

Tasted on-tap at the brew-pub in Wollongong.
Cloudy dark yellow, wispish head. I think it should be served in a more appropiate glass. Something tall, rather than the short half-pint.
Aromas of wheat, spice, somen fleshy yeast. Perfumy.
Wheat profile is there again on the palate; subtle nuttiness.
Light, fresh, slightly tart, lingering bitterness at the back.

Tried this at the Australian Beer Festival in the Rocks, 1st October 2006...
This one looked great straight from the pour. Excellent nebulous body, very good sturday head, a little bit darker than a pure wit - somewhat closer to orange - but it was a sight that made your mouth start to water.
Very good citrussy orange nose, quite representative of what I'd expect from a wit. Quite fragrant, a little sweet, but overall hinting of true refreshment.
The mouth was almost candy-like, with a sweet toffeed-orange character. There was a good hint of spicy bitterness to balance this however, which added a little strength to the brew, and augmented the refreshing nature.
This was a very good brew, and much better than a lot of the other wit clones I've sampled in the past...
