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 Pat’s. Hazy medium gold pour with nose of limey citrus, coriander, clove, hops, malt. Tastes citric in a limey sense, plus clovey spice, some malt, orange zest. Medium, fizzy palate.

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.

Clear yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel and coriander. Taste of coriander, fruit peel, sweet malt and citrus. So-so.

Bottle. Hazy light orange-peach with giant frothy head. Fun, fruity aroma with peach, apricot, orange peel, coriander, and ginger. Very high carbonation is its weakest point by far. It’s fizzy but it does seem to work here. On the sweet side, but enough apricot and orange twang to balance it. Also, good spiciness and citrus zest in the finish. Reasonable amount of depth and complexity. Not bad, good refreshment.
