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.

Pours a beautifully murky golden with a little head. Aroma is lovely and sweet wheat and honey. Flavor is typical belgium-style with wheaty characteristics. Very nice aroma.

From 12 oz. bottle- poured non transparent dark lemonade color, carbonation noticeable, fizzy head, aroma of oranges. Hits the mouth with a thin body, lemon and a light citrus note are noticed. It just seemed very toned down to what it could be.

9-21-07 bottle. Just not a style I enjoiy! Smell is awful. Appearance is nothing special and I just wasn’t impressed. This was not the beer to convert me to the Witbier fan club.

Overall a nice witbier. Some standard offerings of coriander and orange peel, a cloudy yellow color, and a little sour citrus on the nose. Slightly above average.

I must confess I approached this one with considerable trepidation. I had always disliked most wheat beers, and avoided them. And I had never had a witbier. Bottle. Poured pale yellow like weak lemonade. Thin white head, no lacing. Faint citrusy aroma. There is definitely orange peel. Thin sourish and citrusy body. A slight spicy note. Lite sourish finish.

Bottle. Light hay colored and hazy beer with a light wheat and coriander scent. Flavor is light effervescent and the coriander really comes through. In addition it is very drinkable. I am a big fan of Wit beer and this beer is a great example of this style.

cloudy pale gold with a medium frothy head. the tastes and aromas emphasize a malty spiciness leaving the citrus fruit in the background. soft, smooth but crisp mouth feel. very mellow and easy drinking

On tap at DEN: Cloudy effervescent golden with a nicely-lacing frothy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale biscuity Belgian maltiness and fresh citrusy lemon and orange notes. Crisp, lightly sweet doughy yeasty flavor has some light fruity esters and Belgian maltiness. Smooth and drinkable, a nice witbier.
