Point Belgian White

Brewed by Stevens Point Brewery
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA

Hazy, golden appearance with a medium sized white head and good lacing. Aroma was citrusy (orange), with spices on the fringe. Yeasty, grainy, spicy, peppery taste; picked up the hops after a couple of swigs rolled off the tongue. Well carbonated, with a crisp, dry short lived finish that failed to deliver much depth. (thanks, Jay)

Thanks to Secret Santa Eve! Pale gold, very light haze, decent head fades quickly to a ring. Aroma of wheat, coriander, and slight orange citric. As it warms, the aroma becomes more of coriander and ash. Flavor is spicy, coriander over wheat, with a light citric finish. Not overly spicy, but definitely tending towards that interpretation of the style. Nicely done. Always happy to try another wit. And also happy to get to rate a beer from Stevens Point. Have some nostalgia from this one from back in the dark ages when a friend used to bring their brews back from Wisconsin with him.

Pours a five finger white head that goes quickly to a thin layer leaving a little lace. Cloudy pale amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Yeasty/orange nose. Starts with wheat and some yeast then there is a hint of orange, clean finish. $1.09 for a 12oz bottle from Blue Max Liquor Burnsville, Mn.

Hazy straw color, big fluffy head that dissipates quickly, strong spicy orange aroma and dominanting coriander and orange peel flavor. Muted hops, obvious yeast, slightly watery palate, but fizzy and refreshing for hot weather.

Bottle - very sweet and spicy aroma. Clear pale yellow with a white, white head. Not much flavor. A bit of malt with a spice finish. A bit thin. Leaves much to be desired.

(Bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a spare white head. Aroma of corn field and coriander. Flavor of mild hops, wheat, and coriander with a dry finish.

Pours clear yellow with a white fizzy head that goes down quickly. Not a bottle conditioned wit. Aroma is sweet and smells like canned corn. I’m not catching any wheat, citrus or spice. The taste is better than the smell, but there is still some of the funky stuff in there. Light bodied beer with medium / high carbonation. Taste has light wheat mixed with corn, then fizziness from the carbonation takes over eliminating all taste for a moment, after than is some coriander and sourness. I remember this being better when I had it a couple years ago. Maybe I just got a bad bottle, but this one is not good. (I just looked at some of the other ratings and am confused that many mention a cloudy beer - the one I got is as clear as water. Do they bottle condition random batches?)

Pours a cloudy yellow. Aromas of orange and spice. Flavor has too much orange, I didn’t care for this beer at all. White beers aren’t high on my list.
