Commercial Description:
Witicus Double Rye Wit While it is difficult to make something so good twice as good, the brewers at Freetail have found a way. Brewed with Franco-Belge Pils Malt, Fawcett Malted Rye and raw wheat this big, Amer-Belgo-style ale is a far cry from its little brother. Bursting with fruit esters of pear, pineapple and citrus from our favorite yeast strain, Witicus merits comparison with the oft-requested Threetail and hints at the power of Super Saison. Still, Witicus stands alone as a unique beer—look for spiced versions to appear on tap through the end of our long summer. OG: 1.081/19.6 P FG: 1.012/4.0 P ABV: 8.7% ABW: 6.8% IBU: 25 Hops: Amarillo Batch #00041 Brewed: 07/17/2009 Released: 08/21/09

( growler thanks to travita) Pours opaque yellow-orange. Nose is heavy on the spice, lightly sour, floral. Taste is also sour, wheat, some alcohol with a great tart linger. Haven’t had a wit like this one, but it’s absolutely one of the best I’ve had.
