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.

100th rating. This beer poured a watery yellow color with a very thin white head. Hints of orange, coriander, grains, and some spices present. Too watered down in my opinion. Many of the flavors which should be present were hardly noticable.

Poured an extremely light yellow with a nearly invisible white head. Aroma is orange, lemon and some light clove. Flavor is yeasty with some orange and a hint of pepper. Not terrible for a wheat but still middling.

Draft: Poured a cloudy yellow with a white head. The aroma was cloves and citrus. The flavor was thick, yeasty, cloves, lemons, and a touch of pepper. Overall, not bad.

22 oz bottle purchased from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured a cloudy yellow color with a two finger white head. The aroma was citrus and cloves, with some vanilla notes. The flavor was very spicy with a citrus finish.

I generally don’t enjoy organic ales at all. I don’t think the organics have caught up yet in terms of quality, or quality control, especially in the malts. But a witbier as an organic? Why not. Most of the character from this ale come from the fermentation and spices. A refreshing, hazy and zesty ale, most of the flavor notes are played down, and the wheat flavor mostly comes through, surprisingly enough.

The aroma has plenty of spice, wheat, citrus, and sourness. The appearance is white gold with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma and good in every way for the style. The palate is thin but good for the style. Overall a great beer.
