Key West Southernmost Wheat

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

On tap @ Florida Beer Co. Pours bright yellow, creamy white head. Huge aroma of fruit loops cereal. Lots of coriander in the nose. Flavor of wheat malt and lime zest. Creamy texture. Very refreshing. Amazing how good a fresh beer will taste.

Bottle thanks to daknole. Whitish yellow with a smooth hazy body, thin white smooth head. Big lemony citrus and spice aroma. Taste is light tart citrus, lemons and a light spiciness.

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.

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).

Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours amber with a nice white head. Smells of bananas, citrus, coriander, spicy. Tastes of coriander, wheat, some citrus, touches of bananas. Nice summer sipper.

Cloudy, light brassy pour. Very fruity aroma, lots of citrus. Nice lime and grain flavor with a subtle spicy twang to it. Not bad.

Bottle from daknole. Aroma of coriander, wheat, and a lightly pronounced hint of lime. Hazy yellow golden pour. Nice wheat, coriander, and lime in the finish. Very refreshing and quenching.

Opaque dull blonde. Footy-limey yeast nose. Fresh, fruity taste. Limey and wheaty with enough malt for balance. Actually quite refreshing.
