This beer I'm giving very high ratings because, frankly, I just really like the stuff. I was delighted when I first got one of these in a sampler pack. A couple days later I had bought a twelve pack, and will no doubt keep this as a staple summer beer in the future.

It's got a golden color, slightly cloudy appearance, with an average head. It looks inviting, but smells even better. You can smell the spiciness and it leaves you wanting to taste it ASAP. The taste delivers in delicious fashion. You can taste the citrus, but not overwhelmingly so. The yeast provides wonderful, complex flavors that dance around your mouth. Cloves and spices are plentiful. An easy going malt base is balanced with just a touch of hops. It has a light body and great lightly sweet, yeasty finish. Very drinkable.

I should note that I really like this brewery. It's American made, available regularly (and in variety) in my locale, and it's producing good beers. This is a very solid seasonal brew.

Trying the ZON for the first time in awhile. I found this in the reduced price bin at Binny's. The beer pours a pee cloudy yellow with almost no head and no lace. The scent carries wisps of spice and lemon citrus. The taste follows the scent fairly closely. Some decent bitterness with good balanced sweet belgium style malt. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its OK....good fro warmer summer months.

Got this in a custom 6-pack from World Market.
Poured from a bottle into a chalice.

A - Hazy yellow, like freshly squeezed lemon juice.

S - A hint of orange, but nothing else.

T - Very light taste, maybe some citrus flavor, but not much.

M - Carbonated and easy to drink with little to no aftertaste.

Summary - Not very good overall. It's really not much of a beer. It's too light and flavorless to be a Witbier. I'm not getting this one again. Glad I didn't get a 6-pack.
