This is one of my picks of the summer brews. It pours rather cloudy, and it very pale straw in color. Very slight head. The citrus taste is very clearly present. The fragrance is also rather citrus-like with somewhat of a yeasty nose as well. There is a somewhat tart spicyness to it, and for some reason I think of grapefruit as I drink it. There was noticable sediment in the bottom (which I do pour in my glass and welcome it!) This beer is a bit thin in the mouthfeel, but while that may not be a strong point, it does make it a very easy drinking summer brew.

12oz. bottle poured into a pint glass.

(A)- Pours a light and pale yet hazy yellow color. Produced a nice cap of frothy white foam that stuck around for awhile before dissipating. Some good lacing left behind too.

(S)- A very dry and chalky aroma overall. Bits of a grainy wheat meet a dense yeast and subtle lemon citrus notes.

(T)- A nice crisp body to it with focus on the wheat and yeast characters. Subtle bitterness with lemon.

(M)- A good carbonation level with a nice crisp and smooth feel. The balance is definitely focused on the malt and grain bill, which lends nicely to let some of the lemon citrus to speak up here and there in the mouthfeel.

(O)- Its a good witbier, but there are simply far superior beers out there for the style.
