Johns Grocery Generations White Ale

Brewed by Millstream Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Amana, Iowa USA

Light in color and clear as a bell, Can smell the clove and spice. A nice spicy flavor, with citrus notes; would like a little more "beer" however. Finely carbonated, overall very nice!

Clear golden color. Smell of malt, bread, yeast and flowers. Taste of HOLY CLOVE AND SPICES, malt, hints of flowers, citrus and hops. I like the clove and citrus thing going on here. Decent beer.

I really enjoyed this witbier from a brewer I had never heard of. Poured to a hazy golden with good carbonation, medium white head and okay lacing. Aroma of bread, spices, and fruit, with a very tasty clove-wheat-fruit taste. Carbonation and clove made it tingly on the tongue, all leading to a refreshing finish. I doubt that I’ll find this beer in Atlanta, but would get more if I could.

Bottle (12oz). Via trade with Iowaherkeye. Clear bubbly pale yellow, small fizzy white head. Mild wit aroma - soft wheat, mild spice, sweet fruit malt with a mild emphasis on banana and apple - a little too mild. Taste is much like the aroma, but there’s a good bit of grassy/herbal hop character too - very crisp and refreshing. Light, watery body, could be a bit livelier, no aftertaste and a decent herbal/fruit finish - not bad.

Light golden on the pour, slightly hazed. A white head would hold longer under better conditions (rinsing out your tasting glass between samples helps in most aspects of beer tasting, but it isn’t conducive to a healthy head reaction). Light sulphur notes detract slightly from healthy yeasts that present themselves as an excess of perfumed florals. Sweet & floral flavor finds delicate lemon notes before a sweet yet biscuity finish. A bit watery but the flavors here are quite nice. The best Millstream of the evening.

If you know John’s Grocery you know this beer. It’s got a good aroma of citris, banana, and yeast. starts clean and finishes clean.

Pleasant golden color with a light haze and a somewhat strong, fruity scent. Exceeded expectations with a relatively robust, yeasty flavor accented by citrusy flavors...would drink this beer again

#946, From the bottle purchased from Johns in Iowa City Iowa. Clear yellow with no head. Nose is thin with some yeast, no real hop profile. Taste is malty yeast. Just a hint of malts and some grapefruit and apple skin.
