Commercial Description:
This beer is a version of a Belgian Witbier incorporating 50% wheat and 50% barley. To put a subtle spicy note to the beer, heather and sweet orange peel were added in the process to showcase this beer originating from Olde Burnside Brewing's Scottish roots. The yeast, malts and hops (Fuggles) used are British, the style very Belgian, and the spiciness Scottish, making this a very "worldy" ale.

(br-jug yl-lbl, “witbier style ale brewed with 50% wheat with heather and sweet orange peel”, 64oz, 5%)

hzy-gl, thick-wh-head, ^co2, ^eff, med-body.

aroma: ^sweet-orange(tang/bubble-gum).

flavor: co2 T1, ^fruity bright sweet-orange heather T2, malty Olde-Burnside(house yeast strain?) §heather fairly-clean T3.

very interesting and different. not the subtle orange flavor of a belgian witbier but really bright. a bit strange at first, but half way through the jug, it kind of grows on you ("me", i should say).

on tap @Stoudts Invitational-pours a white ring for a head and cloudy straw yellow color. Aroma is lemon/orange/grapefruit zest, wheat. Tast is lots of lemon zest. Interesting. Spritzer-like but refreshing.

A murky golden ale with a thin white head. A light banana aroma, with light boiled vegetables and perfume. In mouth, a rather light weizen with corn notes, a bit too light bodied. Tap at BCTC 2009

Growler at 2009 Spring Beerfest in Providence. This was my first taste and what a find. Yellow-copper pour with a nice foamy white yead. Aroma of lemongrass and yeast. Great taste of yeast, citrus, almonds and spice. Even finish. Can’t wait for another hot day to enjoy a few of these by the lake.

Sold in growlers that are filled at the brewery and distributed through bottle shops. Pours copper with a generous white head. Smells of lemons, orange peel, grass. Tastes nutty with some peppery notes and lots of spiciness on the finish. Earthy as the brew warms. Smells and tastes like it has frozen concentrated orange juice in this.

Very nice brew, great aroma, taste, and very drinkable. Something different from Olde Burnside and it’s good. Good Job guys...

Growler. A great example of the style. With a recipe concocted by the brewery and a local homebrew supplier, it is a great summer beer. The orange flavor comes through strong but blends nicely. You do have to get your hands on this.

Growler. Probably one of the first to get the privilege to rate this. Pour was beautiful orange haze, very huey, with perfect fluffy white head atop. The nose is exactly like Orange Tic-Tacks.. which are delicious. Taste is fresh oranges, some notes of spice but could use more of a bite. Medium Bodied. So unique especially for this Scottish/English style brewery. You got to get your hands on this.
