3.98/5  rDev +4.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Appearance - Pours a hazy, off-yellow color.

Smell - Faint smell. Wheat mostly. Not getting much else.

Taste - Crisp wheat and distant citrus notes. A decent amount of carbonation pops on the tongue.

Mouthfeel - Light and refreshing, though a touch watery. This is a great beer for a warm spring or summer day... but I enjoy it year-round.

Overall - Been drinking this beer for a good 4-5 years now. Not my favorite witbier, but it's certainly hits the spot from time to time.

Had this beer on tap this past week at a local bar.

This beer had become a favorite of mine while living in London, but was not as happy with it this time. It tasted a little different, a little more a bitter grapefruit taste, definitely not as sweet.

The look was the same out of the tap, nice golden color garnished with a lemon. Smell was definitely not as strong as what I had been accustomed to in Europe.

Overall I was a little disappointed. It was a good beer, but something that I would grow tired of after two pints.

Serving type: on-tap
