O-Gii pours a copper color, with a larger, long lasting head. Aroma is boozy, with some sweet spice and candy. Flavor is sweeter, spice and candy, alcohol helps to balance it out. Good body and feel.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a small white head. Smells of sweet grain, with wheat notes. Tastes of wheat with just a hint of tea notes, and slight fruit notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

Had on draft. Best way I can describe this is like drinking some shitty malt liquor. Okay when I was 18. Not so much now.

Those who don't like a sweet, aromatic wit need not apply. This beer, when properly poured and consumed, is a exhilaratingly different beer. Don't drink more than 2 unless you have someone to drive...

Pours light hazy, darker gold. Thick, medium, white head that lasts a while.

Smells tropical, tea, caramel, citrus, honey.

Tastes citrus and sweet tea, honey, caramel malt and some light herbal bitterness. Finish is semi sweet with herbal linger. Medium body and smooth medium carbonation.

Sweeter than expected

an imperial with with some sort of tea, but can we talk about how this is over 9% abv?! holy cow, it drunks so light and easy, dry and bitter and refreshing, super well carbonated, not too much body, very little residual anything, and just no trace of this kind of strength, i was shocked to learn how strong this is! you would really never know, amazing. the beer is pretty good too, less wit-like than expected, i think due to the tea. i dont get as much of that spicy floral distinctive belgian yeast, so maybe not the best as a wit, but i like the beer. the wheat malt is fresh and clean, the tea sort of stands in for the yeast, with dried apple and bitter vegetal notes, maybe a green tea of some kind, and there are some hops in here too. its a very interesting flavor complexion and progression, the tea changes everything, and even though it isnt super pungent and certainly isnt over dosed, it somehow remains the focal point. curious herbal notes from the tea, seems like some special chinese tea i remember from a past life, but its hard to place. again, just shocked how strong this is, it drinks easy and delicate. very cool beer, and definitely the most inventive i have had from these guys!
