Commercial Description:
Our first venture into organically-produced beer, Mothership Wit Organic Wheat Beer elevates the zesty Wit or White beers of Belgium. Our far-flung Beer Rangers affectionately refer to our Fort Collins brewery as the Mothership, a name that conjures images of earth shot from space and the interconnectivity of it all. Mothership Wit is brewed with wheat and barley malt, as well as coriander and orange peel spicing resulting in a balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation.

pours a slightly cloudy very light lemonade color with a thin whiute head...too light and not enough head for the style. aroma is very nice and has mild spice and citrusy vanilla. flavor also has nice spice...coriander, touch of black pepper...and mild citrus. mouthfeel is a bit light but crisp and refreshing. not one of the best wits ive had but better than average.

Sample at GABF 2009. Pours hazy pale yellow with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of banana, clove, honey, light citrus and caramel. Flavor is about the same. Generally light to medium body with pleasing light fruit finish.

Bottle. Poured gold with a decently thick white head. Aroma was grainy with a bit of underlying citrus. Flavor was light with sweet wheat notes as well as a bit of citrus. Quite heavily carbonated for my liking.

Started out as a connoisseur of cheap U.S. lagers. Many of them are pretty bad, I’ll admit. Making my way to imports and craft brews. Don’t have the money to buy imported crafts, so my experience remains mostly limited to U.S. beers. So far, this is my favorite beer!

The color of urine when you have a bladder infection, very odd for a beer. Aroma of lemon zest. Taste is reminiscent of a sour limoncello, very refreshing. Tasty, but simple, everything revolves around the lemon theme.

bottle 12 oz. - Poured very light hazy straw color with small thin head. Aroma - yeast, spices and some coriander Flavor - Initial sour lemony orange taste followed by wheat and some mild citrus. Palate - Thin and somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Good carbonation and is dry with citrus lemon aftertaste. Overall - Probably a good summer beer but not that good in the fall. Drinkable but would not buy again!

Pours a light yellow straw color with a thick white head and millions of effervescent bubbles. Nose is apricot, citrus, coriander and spices. Very creamy on the palate. Coriander is first on the tongue followed by mild bread, apricot and yeast flavors. Very smooth, no bitterness on the finish. Excellent wit beer. Good sipping beer that also pairs well with smoked or grilled salmon.

12 oz. bottle: Golden hazy pour in wide mouth glass. Decent head, leaves good lasting lace, pleasing citrisy aroma, light body. I enjoyed the citrus and wheat combination and the spice gives it just enough bite and flavor to want another. A fairly nice beer.
