Commercial Description:
Sam Adams Imperial White pushes the boundaries of a witbier. While the brew delivers orange and coriander notes typical of a witbier, it has a bigger mouthfeel and body. It is truly a unique brew.

Bottle-The beer is kinda all over the place. Two times it was quite enjoyable but another time, it was a task to finish. Since it falls under the Belgian Strong Ale, you’ve got to knock it down a notch. Pours like a white beer with a cloudy appearance and solf orange color. Soft, sweet fruit aroma with a fruity and some malty taste. produce place 4 pack

Vibrant orange in color with minimal head. Aroma of orange blossom, clove, and subtle window cleaner. Citrus, honey, coriander, and hops in a full-bodied, syrupy concoction with a refreshing finish.

Bottle. Cloudy dark apricot colored pour with a thin off white head. Nice aroma of spice and caramel. Thick chewy mouthfeel with caramel malt and alchohol taste noticeable. Not bad.

Dull orange. Cloudy with a white head. Aroma of wheat, orange and spice. Flavor is of orange, coriander, and wheat with some alcohol bite. Intense for a white. Sam Adams White on steroids.

Dark hazed copper, creamy off white head. Soft lemony citric aromas warm to subtle bready caramel and spice tones. Coriander citric flavors balance on a notes of sweet caramel pastry. Touch of bitterness in the end helps round it out. Full bodied with soft carbonation. It’s decent, but nothing says white beer here...

Thanks to rustychiles for giving me some of this. Pours a luminescent deep pils color with considerable wheat haze. Aroma is of cotton candy, and distinctly of mystery fruit, which really weirded me out. Taste at first was pure raspberries, then cotton candy, then of some gummi bears I once had as a kid that made me sick (you never forget those). This turned me off in almost every way, and I worry my palate was way out of whack. I’ll have to try this again another time.

Pours a sloghtly hazy golden orange with no head. Notes of orage and coriander. The taste is a slightly sweet witbier with hints of orange and spices. It is a good beer, just not sure if it that much better than the Sam Adams White Ale that is 1/2 the price.

Quite an orange hue for a wit, but then again this is an IMPERIAL beer, right? Bubble gum and mango aroma, some alcohol though more like a liqueur than just alcohol. Goodness that’s sweet! Reminds me of frosting. Leads to a moderate alcohol bite in 2 distinct stages. Very strong on it’s own, sticky sweet.
