Key West Southernmost Wheat

Brewed by Florida Beer Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Melbourne, Florida USA

Hazy lime margarita colored pour with off-white head. Nose is hopcitrus, heavy lime, wheaty, a bit clovey. Tastes limey, clovey spicy, with pale malt and hopcitrus. Sort of like 10 ounces of wheat beer with 2 ounces of lime margarita and a smidgen of key lime pie tossed in, but it works better than you might think.

Cloudy yellow pour with white head. Aroma was citrusy with a litttle spice to it. Taste was citrusy, a little malt. It was a smooth, refreshing beer.

This poured a cloudy yellow to amber color with a big fluffy white head. Aroma was really sweet,s ome spices and tangy lime aroma. Flavor was also a bit sweet, some artificial flavors and fruit signs as well. A bit better than expected.

Smelled strongly of limes, and had a nice taste of limes and wheat. A very good witbier.

Bottle. Filtered green apple/peaked yellow colored body with a white head, fizzy and quickly diminishing. Sharp acetone, acetylhyde and ginger-scented jolly rancher candy in the nose. Beer should not smell like this. Fizzy and watery. Sharp and striking artificial ginger, lime and lemon flavoring. The sweetness tries to hide the underlying bland wheat flavor. Weak body. Sugary. Bad.

Bottle. Poured hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of wheat, lime, grain, coriander. Taste is similar, with plenty of wheat and some light spice. Kind light in body and a little one-dimensional. Not bad, but not that good either.

kind of a stinky, old,meat flavored beer. It’s too yeasty, and not the good kind. Weak and a little unnatural, not of the good clean fun usually associated with belgian whites.

Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours a hazy straw with a fluffy, pitted, white head that diminishes to reveal spotty lace. The nose is a really well integrated blend of lightly dusty wheat, coriander, orange peel and sweet lime. The lime is a nice aromatic addition that seems to take a bit of the edge off the coriander note and adds a pleasant citrus-y sweetness that is more subtle than simply ratcheting-up the orange peel note (like many brewers do). This is probably my favorite nose for any wit I’ve sampled to date. Light-bodied, soft and wheaty with just a touch of citric acidity at the finish. The flavor is surprisingly simple, almost bland at first, given how much I enjoy the aroma: a pleasant-enough wheaty blend of coriander and subtle, sweet citrus. The lime doesn’t really begin to assert itself until about two-thirds of the way through the glass. This is one of those session beers that builds upon itself with each sip. A 4oz sample wouldn’t do this beer justice. I can easily see myself running through a sixer of this while relaxing on a warm sandy beach. Thanks Dak.
