Key West Southernmost Wheat

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

Bottle pours a hazy pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is mildly wheaty with hints of citrus and malt. Flavor is sweet, slightly malty, with noticeable lime in the aftertaste. Not bad overall. I like the fact that the lime is fairly subdued unlike some fruit infused beers.

Bottle received via trade with daknole. Pours hazy dark yellow with a small, rocky, white head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, hay, straw, meal), average hops (grass, orange), heavy yeast (dough, sweat, musty) with notes of vegetable and lime. Light bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity, and moderate bitterness.

Yellow pour on the hazy side, thin head. Citrus, lime-like aroma with sugary smell. Great beer.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of daknole. Thanks! Hazy lemon yellow pour with a thin head, low retention and lacing. Aroma is almost like lime-tinged candi sugar with some spicy notes. Dry taste with lime, yeast and spice characteristics. Medium bodied.

Number 28 on my beerfest quest, second to last. This one had a great booth set up with ladies in hula skirts and beeds with lots of swag, I got a shirt from these cats.

Bottle… Hazy, straw-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Decent retention. Grainy, citrusy aroma with faint notes of coriander and key lime. Medium-bodied with a 2%-milk mouthfeel and dancing carbonation. Spicy, coriander flavor. Nicely bittered; lightly acidic. Finishes spicy, minerally and sweet.

12 oz bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small white head that soon recedes to a fine film. The aroma is mild with lemon, lime, spices and wheat. The flavor is light and complex with Belgian yeast, citrus, biscuit, cloves, white pepper and more citrus. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with lively carbonation. The finish is short and semi-sweet with lingering cloves and lime. Overall: A very refreshing and easy drinking concoction, this will probably appeal more to the Corona crowd (when they grow up).
