Commercial Description:
Our Belgian White Ale is modeled after the original Belgian Witbiers brewed in monasteries during the early 14th century. The soft notes of citrus and spice are topped with a light fluffy head that finishes clean and crisp. This all natural ale is our latest seasonal brew, perfect for lounging at lake-side or celebrating at trails end...

12 ounce bottle from City Market in Burlington, VT (March 2008), sampled at cellar temperature from a Duvel glass. Hazy, unfiltered, almost totally opaque pale gold with a moderate but quick-receding snowy-smooth fine-bubbled head that leaves no trace in the glass....aroma is mostly bready, very lightly spicy (carroway, orangepeel, coriander), a bit musty, with citrus notes growing more prominent....body is quite strongly carbonated, qutie dry, relatively full, rather bready/yeasty throughout, lightly peppery-spicy to finish, faintly mineralic and bitter....not an amazing example of the style, but reasonably authentic and refreshingly dry and tart; seems to border on saison territory at moments. One of LT’s better offerings for sure.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, mustiness, coriander, and rotten citrus. Flavor of wheat, lemon zest, light white pepper, and coriander with a watery mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle. Pale yellow. Very cloudy and yeasty. Aroma is all coriander. Light lemon and a bit of wheaty flavour, but it is quickly clobbered by all the coriander. Fairly sweet which just gives an overall appearance of being too damn lemony. Gets quite vegetal as it warms up.
