Our Review:

Whitsun summer wheat ale has a cloudy orange appearance with some sediment swimming about. The thick head quickly dissipates introducing a medium strength aroma of orange and spice. As expected, semi-sweet orange is the predominate flavor at the front of the draw. The back is occupied with coriander, orange peel, honey, and other spices. There is a slightly tart bite.

Whitsun seems to be a bit over-spiced to qualify as a refreshing standalone summer beer. Yet, this spicy summer wheat ale is great in conjunction with food.
