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.

Samppled out of the bottle. A pretty nice white however leaves a bit to be desired. Pours cloudy and has a sweet aroma.

Pour is light yellow, with a pale green tinge. slightly cloudy with a creamy white head which settles quickly. Smells of yeast, like fresh bread with some spice, and earthy fresh grass undertones. A light beer with a slight attack, and a some what grainy flavor. A little watery with the alcohol coming through a bit much on the end. Smooth finish with a hint of hops.

Tap at Ryan and Felicia’s. Pours a hazy yellow wtih a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is heavy on the lemon notes with some nice wheat, yeast and coriander accents. Flavor reminds me of a lemon curd. Plus the expected yeast and wheat notes. A fair dose of spices makes this one a pretty good session beer. Would be a great food beer.

Good blend of wheat and spice. Great wit. I love the smell and taste of the spice. Reminds me of a true German wit. Good brew.

This one pours a nice, cloudy yellowish color. Nice aroma with a musty wheatiness. All the wit characteristics are there... banana, clove, yeast and some citrusy lemon. Certainly easy drinking and tasty. The body is on the thin side but this is a solid and tasty wit.

Pours a hazy gold with a thin but lacy eggshell-white head. Pleasant ctirus aroma, bubblegum elements are somewhat subdued. Flavor has a light citrus zest, then moves on to a husky, sharp whole wheat backbone, with the coriander and gumball finally emerging on the finish. Drinkable, but the whole grain elements overbalance the rest.

Draught. Poured a cloudy light golden color with a small white head. aroma of yeast, clove, coriander, and orange peel. Flavor was heavy on the spice. A light citrus and yeasty finish. Not a bad witbier... but i much prefer Hoegaarden. This one seemed a little unimpressive.

bomber. Really glad New Belgium has made it to GA... looking forward to the Lips of Faith series.... this Wit beer pours a nice light golden / white with a solid white head. Some yeast and light fruit in the aroma. light to medium body... citrus and spice up front and towards the back... slight bitterness on the finish along with more spice and citrus. Overall a very drinkable and enjoyable Belgian White... not my favorite style, but New Belgium has crafted a solid beer in this style.
