22oz bottle.
Pours hazy gold with an orange hue and a half inch head of white. Moderate retention and sporatic dots of lacing.
Aromatics are a blend of citrus, clove, pine, and honey. The orange and juniper stand out the most.
On the lighter side of medium bodied with a crisp mouthfeel.
Orange-laced malt, piney juniper, and clovey phenols start the palate. Slightly earthy and quite spicey for the style.
Finishes with a lingering gin-like character, bright citrus, and soft honey.
Pretty tasty, but the juniper is a bit much for me.

Had it at the brewery as a sample, than bought a bomber of it too take home with me.
Appearance: orangy in color, pours with a thick head of foam that turns to a gradual, yet consistant, lacing.
Smell: Smells of coriander, orange peel ect. smells like your standard wit, but with just a small touch of juniper.
Taste: To me this is the most impressive part of this beer. A strong semi puckering woa pow of juniper in the start, well balanced with smooth tastes of coriander, orange peal, well balanced with just enough hops. Just so unique and tasty.
Drinkability: Not a gulper but at 6.5 its not hard 2 drink a 22 to yourself.
All around i like this beer alot. Im gonna get another 1 for sure. Btw i love unique beers, this one is rather unique, not for the faint of pallet.

Fresh bomber from Premier. Pours cloudy orange with some retaining head. Above average mouthfeel, yeasty and bannana and well integrated wheat, this was surprisingly tasty and drinkable. On the sweeter side, but a nice summer beer. More hefe than wit.

Custom Brewcrafters "Barry" Double Wit is a very cloudy dull golden ale with a dense, blotchy off-white head. It leaves outstanding lacing on the glass. It has a huge aroma that's mostly of clove, but banana bread is present too. It's medium-full bodied, smooth and soft with a slick finish. It mostly tastes like banana/clove, but there is some juniper bitterness and some funkiness. The flavor is well balanced. It's a pretty unique beer.
