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.

Hazy yellow with a thin head that diminishes quickly. Citrisy taste with a weak finish. I was expecting more.

A yellowish with a thin white head. A lemony clove aroma with light bananas. In mouth, a crisp banana and cloves, short in mouth. Refreshing summer beer. Tasted in August 2007.

Bottle best by 21Nov08. Poured a hazy yellow with a creamy white head that settles to a ring and leaves light lacing. Clove and citrus in the aroma backed with banana bread. The flavor pretty much follows the aroma. Light body and lively carbonation. Hints of sour throughout.

22oz bottle. Ordered at the Mellow Mushroom, Chattanooga. Waiter said its not as good as Fat Tire. Is anything? Pours a lightly hazy, bright yellow. thin pillow of white head. Aroma of lemon scented disinfectant wipes, little spice, some banana and bread dough. flavor is very bready. Some citrus flavor, light corriander. Light and easy to drink. Refeshingly carbonated. Perfect malt character. Even a bit of hop, distant in the finish. It turns out to be really good. It tastes like a Wit! Perfect for an outdoor sidewalk pizza lunch. Cheers!

mothership wit came highly ridiculed by the ayn rand loving bartender at the fox and hound. so it made me happy to order a full pint of this new new belgium classic. the pint poured a clear, bright yellow with few bubbles. aroma spoke of lemons and bananas - a scent as yellow as the liquid hue. subtle citrusy flavor gives way to a zestily fuzzed mouthfeel in the aftertaste. enormous traces of bananas beside lemons the size and shape of enormously furry peaches. i like this beer. a feel good ale perfect for tart desserts, crepes at breakfast, or an afternoon game of backgammon on the back deck. i’d sip on this while listening to old tammy wynette records and writing letters to my own mother.

Bottle. Pours a clouded yellow with a fairly significant head and carbonation. Nose is citus and hints of banana. Flavor is very nice and refreshing, continued with the citrus and background banana. Very clean. If they bumped up the flavors a bit this would be even better, however it’s a nice summer refresher as it is. Thanks to theisti for the bottle.
