That's the style OG range. So in your case the recipe's estimated OG is 1.072, but Witbiers should be between 1.042 and 1.055.

This is a recent offering here in the U.S: http://beeradvocate.com/news/3055116 Great to see it finally available here.

Hey note that Beersmith is giving you calories per pint, not per 12oz bottle. Per pint Miller is 128 calories. Still not close, but that's a little better.

I brewed this same kit as my 2nd beer, and it fermented out 1.021. I fermented at too high a temperature, so it had a lot of fusel alcohols but it was most definitely quaffable. I still have a few left eight months later, and it's a tasty brew.
