Commercial Description:
White Sail is a Belgian-style white beer, craft brewed with wheat, malted barley, hops, and a little bit of coriander and orange peel. It is mild yet flavorful, with fruity undertones and a haze from the yeast and wheat. This ale is delicious on its own, or with a slice of orange.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a cloudy yellow with fizzy white head that went away quickly. Aroma of some citris. Flavor has some wheat and light citris orange peel and corriander. Mouthfeel is light-med. body with high carbonation...Overall, it’s ok....would make a very nice summer beer, easy drinking.

Poured a slightly hazy orange/yellow. Aroma of citrus and yeast. Lots of flavor. A good balance of citrus and yeast. There was also a good amount of spice, which might not have been a good thing. Not as refreshing as other wheat beers. Overall not bad.

Jacksonville, Fl. - Total Wines - 12 oz bottle. Pours a pleasant murky medium orange with a thin, but clingy white head. Lemony aroma with some hints of yeast. Nice coriander accents in the flavor with some orange peel on the back end. Just enough spritz in the mouthfeel to keep it interesting. Better than expected.

Opaque dark straw. Expressive coriander and orange nose with a little bit of footy yeast. Very highly carbonated. Thick, yet somewhat light of body. Good spice. Finishes dry, herbal, hoppy. Decent.

This is a little different for a Belgian White Ale. The appearance has a nice orange glow with a big marshmallowy head. The aroma is very grainy, bready, and a bit harsh, with the slightest hint of curacao oranges. The taste also has a certain grainy "roughness" to it, with a citrus note or two and a pinch of spice. This is a drinkable beer, medium bodied and malty, but with none of the typical witbier aromatic and refreshing goodness. I’m not quite sure what to call this.
