Great Divide Double Wit

Brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Denver, Colorado USA

Shared during some monday night football with curly, scottyp, and barrios. Pours a clear gold with large pillowtop white head and good lacing. Nose is grassy hops, lightly funky yeast. Light orange zest becomes much more prevalent in the flavor, very sweet candi sugar, and curacao. Good example of the style I suppose, but too sweet for my tastes.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. gold with a white head. nose is coriander and wheat. not bad on the palate with a typical flavor of lemon and coriander.

( 22oz bomber thanks to bu11zeye) Pours a clear yellow, nice head with oily bubbles. Nose of disgusting rotten corn, wet husks, white pepper and coriander. Taste is nicely sweet malts, oily body, with an odd linger at the end. This beer is nice if you don’t smell it.

The Dan Journal #267. Tasted 6/22/09. 22oz bomber. Filtered with a pale golden hue. Fingerwidth of white fluffy head. Grainy citrus aromas with a mild perfumy note. Medium bodied with a soft and sweet palate. Doughy with a mild citrus flavor. Bready malts and a touch berries in the middle. Subtle, almost Brett note. Subdued tingling effervescence. Nice and drinkable.

22oz bomber $7. Cloudy yellow orange, looks like a wit if not a bit darker orange than yellow. Smells a little musty, then some spices. The must smell really made me do a double-take because I could swear I was smelling some brettanomyces but probbaly not. The flavor vacillated between a normal fruity witbier and an alcoholic mess. This probably would have been a good beer had they not tried to make it "robust" as they say. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 09-17-2009 20:48:28

Bomber from Pat’s Liquors in Porter, IN: It poured a slightly hazed straw body with a respectable white head. The aroma had a wheaty tartness along with some coriander and a citrusy bitterness. The mouthfeel was very spritzy, and I think this would’ve tasted even better if it was softer. As it was, it delivered the typical Witbier flavors very nicely along with a bit of alcohol. Pretty decent.

Somewhat hazy golden appearance with a thick white head. Aroma is wheat with a little orange. Flavor is a little sweet with a hint of spice. Slight alcohol presence in the finish. Overall, quite pleasant and a bit more character than a standard wit.

Bottle from SL. The kind of review that puts one to sleep, pretty standard. Pour was yellow with some haze and bottom of the bottle murkiness. Big huge initial head with good retention and lacing. The aroma was strong coriander with some wheaty elements and orange notes. The flavor followed, again coriander sticking out the most, cloves, fruity esters underneath. Smooth alcohol for the level, pretty quick sipper. Mouthfeel was big and full for a wit, comparable to a standard BSA, though.
