River Horse Double White

In short: A big not-refreshing condensed witbier.
How: Bottle 12oz, drank fresh soon after purchase
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body topped by a small white head
In long: A whole lot of hay in this one, big chewy body that borders some kind of purée. Slightly unpleasant strong fruity flavours of overripe pineapples and banana purée. Light spicy notes with the usual coriander and friends array of witbier spicy flavours. Alcohol apparent which is particularly annoying in this style. This Double White tries too hard to be too much. Like with a NFL defensive lineup a Single White could have been enough.

Chunky golden bronze color with a modest light cream colored head. Sweet aromas, with light caramel, tropical fruit, cardamom and a bit of citrus. A lot of ripe to over-ripe fruit hit you from the beginning. Fruit syrup meets up with a bit of floral hops. Seems cloying. Some lime in the finish and into the linger. More flavors of a belgian strong than a wit (even a strong one). Actually a bit of vanilla in the linger. Last bottle of six and this one seems to have all the yeast. Huge chunk of yeast in the final pour.

Hazy, dark gold appearance with a large white head and modest lacing. Sweet, fruity, spicy aroma evolves from a yeasty start. Smooth, moderately spiced, wheaty taste. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated mouthfeel with a lingering, slightly tart, finish.

On draft at the GL.  Pours a cloudy gold with a small white head.  Aroma of wheat, yeast and spice.  Taste of spicy hops and wheat. 

12oz bottle. Darker than expected orange-tan colored beer with a very frothy, thick head. 7% hardly justifies the "Double" categorization or the hefty price tag for a sixer, but this is a great beer. Lacy smooth mouthfeel, with some Belgian candi sugar tastes in there potentially. Sweet and creamy, with lots of Wit spices coming through as well. A top notch beer from River Horse, perhaps the best I’ve had from them.
