1979 has a hefty sweet wheat
and yeast aroma. The flavour is also quite sweet—it has a yeasty vibe
with notes of citrus, banana, and spice. The finish remains fairly sweet
and has spicy, with not a lot of bitterness.
Honestly,
I didn’t love this beer. I found its limited carbonation to be a major
drawback. Similarly, the flavour was not nearly as assertive as I was
hoping for. The double wit style—if there is such a thing—isn’t one that
I have any experience with, but if 1979 is an exemplar, I’m not keen to
dig much deeper. To my mind, witbiers ought to be crisp and light.
Adding weight doesn’t totally float my boat. That said, if you’re a
witbier zealot, this stuff might be really interesting to you.
