Lost Abbey Witchs Wit

Brewed by Port Brewing/Lost Abbey
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
San Marcos, California USA

Bottle at RnH Drink for Charity. Thanks to everyone who brought great beer to this. Cloudy pale orange with head and alce. Strong coriander and orange tangy aroma. Very spicy coriander with wheat tang and orange. Well-made but heavy-handed.

C&C 750 shared by emacgee. Hazed yellow with a white head. Herbal coriander nose, wheaty and citrusy - lemon and grapefruit. Some yeastiness. The grapefruit zest seemed to give this extra zip for me - citrusy and light, coriander and lemon, clove and wheat - I really liked this one!

Bottle at the “Drink for Charity” event at Rattle & Hum. Pours a hazy orange amber. Lots of coriander, a bit of orange, and a touch of muskiness. Medium bodied and light and sweet. Finishes light and crisp. Very tasty, though I’d imagine at the regular bottle price, this is a bit expensive.

Color is a pale hazy yellow. As with most Lost Abbey brews the carbonation is low producing almost no head. Aroma is a little sour with scents of citrus and spice. Taste is lightly sour and citric. It starts with a light body that goes down easy. Finish is a mild lemon taste with a slight sour feel some spice and a hint of bitterness. After taste of yeast, a zing of grapefruit and a bite of bitterness. Overall its not one of the better Whites I’ve had.

cloudy light color nice fluffy head. Aroma and taste is quite light, not much alcohol present. Sweet with some spice and citrus, very mild.

Bottle for the Michael Jackson Rare Beer Club. 750mL corked and caged. See through golden pour. Before any sediment is add, that is. Tall but fading, foaming white head. Rather bubbly. Aroma is strong yeast notes, grains, lemon, spices and light honey. Taste is strong grains and yeast with more spice notes. Some sweet malt and "green" fruits as well. Only light lemon and honey come through. Body is light and bubbly. Strong carbonation does not ruin its overall refreshing feeling, especially on a 85+ degree day. Spices seem to dominate the finish. A strong yeast presence is also detected. There is more lemony notes coming through here as well as grains. The honey and fruit notes are also subdued throughout the finish. Still, though, this is rather pleasant.

Bottle thanks to drewbeerme pours a hazed yellow with a thin white head. Yeast, sweet wheat, and citrus in the nose. Light citrus yeast flavors. Light spice with a dry finish. Ok, but just not that great. Meh.
