    Bent Paddle had one called Pickin' Wit that flew under the radar. I'm not even sure when it properly released. I've never been big on the style but I really enjoyed it. It's only available in 750ml, and I still see it in stores sometimes.

    Wild Mind had a Witbier on tap, did not try it, but ive liked most brews from them so worth a try if your in SW MPLS.

    @Eggman20 makes a very nice MN brewed witbier. I may have had enough of it tonight to recommend a non-commercially available version.

    I thought Crop Formation from Cosmos was pretty good. Cans should be out soon.

    Looks like Lupulin just put a Witbier on tap. It is probably worth a try considering they seem to be pumping out some quality stuff as of lately.

    Stopped by Lupulin yesterday and tried the witbier as part of a sampler. It's solid.

    About the only thing I miss about Harriet is the wheat beers. I generally prefer German wheat beers, but I recall enjoying their love jus.

    Agree about Luv Jus, but their German wheats (the Hef and Dunkel) were pretty awesome, too. A real bummer they're gone.

    Beaver Island has released their Witbier called Hazy Daisy. It is damn good. I just entered it into the system, and drinking it now.

    This beer pours a murky, very light golden color, almost white. The head was white, 1 Finger, and didn't last long.
    The nose is mellow, with a faint citrus aroma. There's also a slight sweetness to the nose.
    Taste is, and I quote myself "damn, that's good". It has a great blend of a light citrus taste with just the right sweetness.
    Feel is on the lighter side, but not really watery.
    This beer, overall, is a damn good addition to their lineup. Really good on a hot summer day.
