My Bottom Line:
Milky coriander and saffron allusions confer personality to this otherwise yeasty and hop bitter Witbier.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam slowly sinks into your typically cloudy Witbier pallor.
-These guys love bitterness and it shows. Even the Witbier is assertively hopped in the finish!
-The combination of prevalent yeast and high dose of herbal hoppiness somwhat clashes in the finish.
-The body is once again healthy; never anemic nor portly.
-Once you get used to its different finish (for the style), this one becomes quite drinkable and should be appreciated by those looking for a spicy thirst-quencher.
-Coriander is used judiciously in this one, which was not the case with their Double.
On tap at the brewpub.

Jul 19, 2008 En fût au plan café Nagua. La bière se présente avec une couleur blonde dorée très peu voilée et une mousse qui disparaît complètement à la moitié du verre. Au nez on découvre des arômes de citron et de coriandre. En bouche notre palais rencontre un corps mince avec une effervescence moyenne. On goute des saveurs de levure, de coriandre ainsi qu’une légère présence de houblon floral. La finale est âcre.

Jun 3, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A thin and rather watery take on the brown ale style drank on draught at Brouhaha.
I like:
Soft wheaty mouthfeel. Fresh smelling. Crisp citrusy nature. Balanced spiciness. Rounder than most.
I dislike:
I enjoyed it, this is an efficient thirst-quencher.

Appearance: Slight fine haze on golden field. Large creamy head on top. 3+
Nose Soft wheat aroma , slightly lactic , creamy feel .6-
Flavor/Palate : Flat , light , thin. Gentle-grainy wheat shade of brew. Right direction but why so thin ? Plain watery end.

May 25, 2008 A clear golden beer with a thin lacing white head. A lightly sweet aroma with notes of bean puree, very mineral. In mouth, more restrained on the eugenol/cloves , more solvent fusel alcohol, not overly bad, but a bit agressing. A bit short in mouth. Loads of cloves in this one. A nice yet strange brew. On tap at Vices et Versa, 6 Feb. 2008.
