Point Belgian White

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

Nose of banana, clove, citrus, spices, coriander. Flavor similar, but the banana stood out. Yeasty and wheaty in the palate. Drinkable.

Bottle. Poured a cloud-yellow with a crisp white and frothy head. Aroma was had a surprising citrus and evergreen intensity. Like all Points, flavor was flat. This was still a good white, however. There were some light citrus flavors. Unlike other Point beers, I would actually drink more of this.

12oz bottle. Poured a lighter yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of wheat, spices, citrus and light bananas. Tastes of watered down wheat with very light spices. Thin and watery body.

Sunny orange pour with a big head that settles into a nice, thin cap. The nose is sweet with a nice balance of coriander and sugary orange. Lemon and caramel as well. Creamy mouthfeel. A nice splash of sweet honey meshes well with the spice additions in the body. Sweet, creamy finish. Good stuff.

Seems they changed the name to "Point Belgian White" . Maybe tweaked the recipe, becasue this is a very good beer. Pours hazy straw, with obvious yeast on the bottom of the bottle. Nice fruity aroma, and decent head. Taste of clove, and bannas, and oranges. Catch a hint of corrinder on the finish. Not as sweet as the Blue Moons, and Leinies Sunset wits, but thats not a bad thing.

Sometimes saying a beer is very drinkable is the same as saying it has almost no flavor. That is the case with this wit. No aroma, almost no flavor so lets just call it "drinkable."

In the bottle from HyVee CB. Good looking beer- cloudy gold with a thick white head. Surprisingly big coriander orange flavors. Wheat beer aroma is present. This is by no means a pedestrian wit. Good value beer for the price. Pleasant orange and banana finish blended with muted spice heat on the tip of the tongue.
