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.

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.

12 oz bottle. Very light hazy yellowly pale. Pours with a thick big dense fluff of a head. Yeast, wheat and lots of citrus dominate the nose. The taste I must say follows right in line with the nose. Comes to end with a yeast/citrus aftertaste. Nice beer, I have to say I prefer it on tap. Nice wheat presence makes this a bit ’heavier’, but it still retains it’s nice drinkablity. Nice afternoon hot day drinking beer.

Pours a slightly cloudy gold color, with a thick, dense head. Flavor is of malts with a big wheaty, citucy middle with some cloves in the back. A great beer, would definitely recommend.

Pours a slightly hazy light gold with a medium tight bubbly head. Aroma is light lemon-orange, yeast and wheat. Flavour is very clean and crisp wheat and spritzy citrus with a mild clove spice. Not as much sediment with the yeast and banana tones as I’m used to in an unfiltered wheat. Very clean and drinkable though.

Solid Witbiew offering from New Belgium. The orange and coriander come through in the initial mouthfeel and the belgian yeast rounds out the flavor profile.
