Hitachino Nest White Ale

Brewed by Kiuchi Brewery
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Ibaraki, Japan

Pours pale yellow with light head. Very lemony aroma that overpowers everything else... bit of yeast. Flavor is very lemony. Different.

Pours light yellow, see-thru, with a medium sudsy white head. Smells very spicy, ginger, some cashews and a little bit of pepper. Very unique white ale. Lemon, orange zest, and somewhat grassy for a wit. Very tangy and citrusy. More like a soda than a beer. Very drinkable. Somewhat heavier body for the crisp carbonation, but I like that. Unique, solid, and somewhat different. Has definite mimosa like qualities and is growing on me. Extra point for the bottle.

Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow gold with a white head. Aroma, oranges, pears, wheat, some spices, bready malts. Flavor, oranges, spices, very crisp, with some pale malts, finishes dry and citrusy.

In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours cloudy pale yellow with a long lasting bright white head. Intense aroma of pears and pineapple. Fantastic coriander-like flavors. Peppery on the sides of the tongue. Remarkable smooth with a mild lemon finish. A really delicious beer.

(Bottle) Pours a hazy dark golden color with a thick white head. Aroma of wheat and light yeast. Crisp citrus notes with a good amount of spice and clove. What makes this beer stand out is the excellent palate and mouthfeel. I think this is one of the best Witbiers I’ve sampled.

Was kind of bored so I thought I would finally rate this, it is an amazing beer. The beer pours to the nth degree of haziness without being murky, orange colored. It’s got a medium sized head that quickly fades, despite that i officially decree this the best looking wit EVER! really never get to see something this dark and thick when it comes to Wiits. Aroma starts with strong sweet orange peel, original in the sweet part of the peel. There are lightly sweet spiky fruits, wild strawberries and some tea-like aspect (I am thinking is from a lot of coriander); great aroma. Taste is spritz-y Oranginia, seriously so much like the juice with light earthy herbs (thinking coriander again). It has a very light airy mouthfeel thats finished of by an aftertaste of well... how do I say... summer! So I did not know this till just now but its actually made with orange juice, thats what must give it that Oranginia feel.
11.2 oz bottle, mix between lager flute and tulip glass.

11 oz bottle from Bevmo. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a small fizzy white head that quickly disappears. The aroma is dominated by citrus scents of orange and lemons with just a hint of spices. The flavor follows the aroma with the lemon dominating. The mouthfeel is full and satisfying. The finish is short and clean. Overall: a very decent witbier. Recommended.

Bottle. Pours hazy corn yellow, white head. Aroma is sausage, coriander, chamomile, tangerine. Flavor is the same with nutmeg, clove, slightly funky & wheaty. Reminiscent of a Jolly Pumpkin beer.
