Holy smokes, this was a tasty Witbier.

22oz. bottle split into 2 Gueuze tumblers, with yeast swirled and poured evenly. Foam consisted of larger bubbles at first, then the added yeast formed a dense, spontaneous cap of head. Ale was an opaque orange with a touch of tan from the added yeast sediment.

Smell was earthy coriander spice and zesty orange juicyness. Wheat and yeast were also present, giving off a mild breadiness.

Big citrus flavor of orange juice, with a full body to match. Earthy coriander again, tangy tartness, yeasty. Peppery in the mildly dry aftertaste. Prickly burst of carbonation at the front of the tongue onward. Wheaty backbone gives it a smooth fullness and oomph. Very juicy. Alcohol is nowhere to be found. This blows away the Belgian 'Imperial Wit' (Jan de Lichte) I had last week...damn tasty.

A: Pours out a dark gold and copper color. Unfiltered goodness floats around the glass beneath a very thin head and almost no lacing.

S: Smell is like a typical white. This one has a bit of fruit in it, however, which is nice and refreshing. Possibly a hint of cherry and vanilla.

T: Taste is wheaty with quite a bit of spice. Very refreshing, and not overpowering in the least. Most spice comes after the beer has been swallowed, and lingers in your mouth.

M: Very nice mouthfeel. Not too thin, has just the right amount of substance to keep it interesting and maintain the flavor profiles.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4

Appearance: glowing golden cloudy body with a one finger white head that does not leave much lacing if any yet a curtain of white lace with each sip

Aroma: very pleasing white; soft coriander, soft citrus peel, nice wheat

Flavors: I like Belgian ales and I like the Wit ales. This is pretty spot on for a Belgian-style white (wit). Soft pleasing notes of coriander, wheat, and citrus.

Mouthfeel: low yet fine fizzy carbonation, mild-medium body, light yet pleasing flavors, light wheat aftertaste (short)

To the Point: a straight and to the point Belgian-style White, I like it, it should make a very good summer ale
