Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit

Taste: Hop/Malt Balance (0-4): Mild beer with a citrusy finish. 3 points
Aftertaste (0-3): Bitter citrus and spice flavors linger nicely on the back of the tongue. 3 points
Mouthfeel (0-3): Strong carbonation with a sharp carbonic bite on the tongue. 3 points
Overall Impression (0-3): Satsuma is the English name for 蜜柑, or mikan, in Japanese. It is a mandarin orange. This is a nice wit, though the orange flavor is a bit strong. 2 points

Satan's comments: "Interesting! Nice citrus and chamomile aroma! Nice haziness, but poor head retention! There is a perculiar bitterness about it though! Like a pithy flavor after you bite through the skin of a grapefruit! Overall I like it, but that dry bitter finish isn't something I would go for."
