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.

I was expecting something more from this and maybe that’s my problem. The beer can’t be marked down for any flaws. it’’s all there - the neroli aromas, coriander, lemony light and carbonated to be a refreshing and drinkable thirst quencher. I’m missing something though.

watery, yellow in color with a slight haze, nice white head with minimal lace, aroma of orange peel, heavily spiced flavor with a watery body, minimal flavors from wit yeast, seems faked and lacking any ’wit’y passion... decent beer for safeway standards, poor rendition of a wit

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is wheat, grain, malts and grass. Very earthy feel and taste to it. Had these while I was BBQing. Decent but nothing special.

Hazy pale beer with a short fizzy white head. Light banana in the aroma. Some yeast too. The flavor is bready and lightly fruity but not as spicy as I expect. Sort of dull really.

Bottle. Thanks Rodgers. Pours a pale yellow color with a big white head. Aroma is citrus with hints of spice and some banana. Taste is lots of citrus and banana with some nice spice. Not bad.

Poured a slightly hazy pale golden color with a short, fizzy white head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is yeast, citrus and thin wheat. The flavor is tart citrus with some yeast, mild wheat and a splash of peppery spice. Lots of carbonation. Light, bubbly mouthfeel. Not bad.
