Pelican Heiferweizen

Brewed by Pelican Pub & Brewery
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Pacific City, Oregon USA

Hazy yellowish blonde. Light wheaty aroma with hints of spice. Quite sweet, a touch fuselly with a finishing hint of coriander. Too young.

@Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours a retaining white head and yellow color. Aroma is clove, spice, secondary wheat, citrus. Taste is clove, spice, secondary wheat, citrus-lemon. OK/mild effervescence.

Clear light yellow. Spicy cardamom and rye nose, very earthy and musty spices. Peppery, well flavored with bread, hearty pumpernickle and other spices, though it has a soapy finish.

Faint wheat & citrus with a good balanced herbal spiciness. Lightly hazy, not overly so. White head & lots of lacing. The flavor is mild, good malt body & light finish. Clean American wheat, drinkable.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a wheat malty citrus aroma with hints of banana. Sweetish wheat malty yeasty citrus flavor with hints of clove and banana. Has a sweetish wheat malty finish with some hints of citrus.

Draft at the Pelican. Light fruit aroma. Pale golden color with a substantial white head. Interesting flavor. Not banana, more of a Belgian Wit. (and look at the style above; not what I expected). Spicey, yeasty, like cardamom and coriander. Makes me think a bit of Fraoch Heather Ale for some reason. Seems to be some citrus peel bitter in the finish, but perhaps it could be hop. Quite unusual.

Purchased a 22-oz bomber from the brewery’s internet sales. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with an average off-white head that dissipates to a white ring. Aroma of golden grain malt with wheat, some banana and cloves, and some grassy hops. Taste is medium bodied, light in flavor of wheat malt, some banana, and a hint of citrus. Finish is semi-dry with a light grain and banana aftertaste that quickly disappears. Could not detect much orange or coriander in this wit, but as a German Hefe, this is pretty decent.

This draft brew from the Oregon Brewers festival poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent softly carbonated yellow colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was malty lambic like dirty sock and mild fruit. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a bubbly aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt sour and mild citrus. Not one that I would likely buy again.
