From the brewer

When something is optimal it has everything it needs and nothing that it doesn’t. The optimal amount of spices, wheat and hops is found in our Optimal Wit. Brewed as a traditional Belgian style witbier, it is crisp and citrusy with layers of flavor that evolve in the glass. We brew this with Virginia grown wheat and use Spanish orange peels and coriander, which are traditional wit spices. Our unique twist is Grains of Paradise, which gives it a subtle peppery character on the finish.

Who's been drinking this

Typical light-bodied wit, with the prominent characteristic being a sweet wheat funk. Not overtly spicy or fruity. In fact, it might be a little too light on flavor, but it was very drinkable. It helped that it was accompanied by amazing food.
