A-cloudy gold with a sticky white head

S-smells like fresh spices, citrus, and grains. Slightly hoppy. Odd scent, good scent, Complex scent. 

T-comes in with mostly a taste of Belgian white malts and citrus. Faint taste. Not so hoppy. Somewhat bitter. 

M-medium to high carbonation with a dry finish

O-I was hoping for a really hoppy witbier, but it came out drinking more like an unbalanced amateur witbier. it wasn't good. 

Serving type: on-tap

Had on tap at Brews by the Bay. Collaborative beer between Delaware brewers.

A: Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a small white head, moderate retention, and random lacing.

S: Assertive grassy hops, some lemon, lemon peel, a little orange zest, and some spices, mostly coriander.

T: Like the nose, the Sorachi Ace hops give a very nice bitter bite on the flavor profile. The flavor profile is grassy with citrus, mostly lemon and orange zest. There is a little bit of coriander on the back end.

M: Light to medium bodied with active carbonation. Easy drinking.

O: A nice beer, great on a hot day. Hopefully the first of many Delaware collaborative brews.

Serving type: on-tap

12oz. Served on tap in Wilmington Summer '12. Collabo beer with DE Brewers Guild etc. Served in an unmarked Iron Hill goblet glass.

A: Slight cloudy bright yellow color. About a quarter finger of bright white head. Good carbonation. Bubbles streaming up the sides. As the beer sits, it clears a bit more. Still a little hazy.

S: Belgian spice: coriander, clove, orange peel. Citrus hops. Some banana.

T: Not a ton of bitterness on the tip of the tongue. You do get a bite of bright citrus hops. Lemony. In the middle, that Belgian character takes over. I get the spice and clove and banana. It's actually more Wit than IPA. Crisp clean finish.

M: Light to medium bodied. ABV hidden nicely.

Serving type: on-tap
