Notes:

Pours 1.5 fingers of creamy foam that doesn't go away, in a very light yellow color. Aroma is a very bready yeast with a little clove perhaps. Flavor is similar to aroma in that it is a bready yeast but more muted and with a nondescript fruity tang - slight orange and not sour - and then a spice flavor that makes me think of coriander. Body is medium and carbonation is only slightly sharp. Overall, the beer is pretty good with the flavors a little less potent than I was expecting. I'm not sure how it would rank as a Wit but I'd love to know. In any case, 4 stars.
