Commercial Description:
Batch 8000 is part of our commemorative series celebrating our progress with special brews. Our Batch 8000 is a special recipe to be brewed only once. It is a wheat ale spiced with Coriander, Orange Peel, and Paradise Seed. Best consumed fresh.
Editor’s Note. 9% is far above the abv range of a Belgian Wit Bier. Because we do not have the style "Imperial/Double Belgian Wit", this more closely fits as a Belgian Strong Ale.

Pours translucent orange with a frothy slightly off white head. Smells of wheat, yeast, oranges and spice. Flavor is herbal, biscuit, grain, slight citrus, flowers, malt and hard candy. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy, slightly thick like a barley wine. Hides the alcohol well, smooth finish.

Pours a very bright, slightly hazy orange color with medium amount of forathy offwhite head. Aroma is a bit of orange and coriander, also a bit of bubblegum. Flavor is spicey and yeasty, earthy undertones, slight hop prescence, and sugared oranges. Overall, enjoyable.

Bottle: Poured metallic orange with a brief fizzle, a thin head, and a swirl of sediment. Fresh herbal aroma, with a tad bit of spicy yeastiness. Tangy and spicy, with an orange zest flourish. Susbstantial mouthfeel, full of body. Quite nice. (#3167, 11/1/2007)

Lightly foggy amber, thin white head. Lightly spiciness, dried fruit, coriander, citrus, light alcohol. Taste has an initial light hoppiness, followed by the spices, and then citrus, and bubblegum. A fine brew.

This is a nice beer to sip on, the flavors of honey, orange peel and spices. The malts and hops are nearly perfectly balanced. The rest of it feel like a tropical drink that you can enjoy at anytime of the day.

The aroma is nice and spicy with coriander, orange peel, and paradise seed. There is also yeast and honey. The appearance is hazy gold with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s interesting but not great.

12 oz. bottle. Cloudy Orange with a nice head. Aroma of clove and orange. Slightly sweet, almost too much, but OK. I get honey, oranges and yeasty flavors. I found it quite palateable.
