Walt Wit


















































Philadelphia Brewing Company
Walt Wit
Philadelphia, PA
8/3/2009, bottle, 4.2 abv

Smell

Light and citrusy with a little spice.

Appearance

Hazy, pale golden yellow with a good sized head.

Taste

Very nice witbier flavor with wheat and a tangy citrus zing. The spices are not overdone. This is an unpretentious wheat beer that is clean, crisp and easy to drink.

Comments

Great for a hot summer day.

I like the picture of craggy old Walt on the label. You may think this beer is named for the author, but it is actually named for a bridge in Philadelphia that is named for the author. They don't read much in Philly. This is evident if you've ever seen the fans at an Eagles game.

  1. Ha. That's funny actually. I went to an Eagles game as a kid and I was actually afraid for my safety from time to time! Sounds like a decent beer though, I wonder if I can get in in N. NJ.

  2. My daughter lives in Philly, that's why I am able to have PBC beers every once in a while.

    And because she lives in Philly, I have license to bash Philadelphia sports teams.

    Michael Vick should fit in nicely with the Eagles fan base. I hear they are considering OJ for their running back coach.
