New Belgium Mothership Wit

Brewed by New Belgium Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

I need to be concious about judging this beer against the style, mainly because I thought that Mothership was a little boring. I remember though, that it is a wit beer, and for what it is; tastes pretty good. I drank it first in my living room at night, and was a little disapointed, but this afternoon I had it with some buddies while making beer and it was pretty good. Appearance, looks great for a wheat beer. There is not much aroma, but it smells nice and subtle. I like this beer compared to other wits in that the mouthfeel is a bit more full. There is no dry astringency that I noticed, which I like quite a bit. This is a great beer for doing anything in the sun.

Pours a light straw color with a nice sticky white foamy head. Strong aroma of wheat, coriander, banana, clove and bubble-gum. Light body, a little bit sticky, easy drinking carbonation, leaves the mouth a bit chalky. Great light flavor, more of a hefeweizen than something Belgian. Crisp lemon, soft banana and some spices, orange peel, coriander and clove. Much better than the Sunshine.

Light golden opaque body with a one inch white head and nice carbonation. Clove and citrus aroma. Lots of wit flavors such as coriander, banana, and orange. They could be a bit more pronounced. Flavor also seems just a tad artificial. But this is still a nice Witbier.

Pours a haz golden yellow with a nice foamy head. Aroma of citrus, clove, banana. Flavor is banana, clove, lemon, sprices, orange peel. Nice refreshing wit.

Classy pale yellow with light froth served in a Witekerke glass at Uber Tavern. Banana scent with a rough ground pepper note. Light lemony banana and light table pepper flavour.

From a bottle. Pours a very light, clear yellow with a small white head that disappears quickly. Aroma is light and spicy. Flavor is pretty average. Citrusy with cloves and slight wheat flavor. Not my kind of beer, but not bad overall.
