First Taste: This Witbier pours a straw hazed cloudy golden color with a head that quickly disappears. It smells like lemons and coriander. The taste has tons of wheat flavor and citrus with a medium body that quite carbonated. Better than a Blue Moon for sure and beats a Shock Top any day. It is crisp and is very refreshing. The brewery says there are hints of vanilla in the brew, but I do not get that at all. The beer has an ABV of 5%.
