Smuttynose Belgian Style White Ale

Formerly brewed at Smuttynose Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Portsmouth, New Hampshire USA

Smells like urine, terribly unflattering. White head dissipates quickly. Coriander is evident and dominating, but thats about all this beer is. Coriander and some light carbonation. Orange and light fruit, banana, and nothing much. Terribly bland and flat.

Bright glowing yellow/straw color with low to nearly flat carbonation. Ever so slight fruity/yeasty aroma. Mild spiceyness hidden behind a citrusy spritz.Not awful, just plain dull, boring and uninteresting. Hoegaarden and Mannekin Pis are much better examples of this style.

There is something wrong with this beer. If I had to guess too much orange peel, too early in the mash. That and not enough malt.

Pale yellow, hazy. Clean with some lemon peel flavour.

Too much bananas, and I had to roll it around to get the yeast back into the beer. Not bad but not a favorite. Cheers!

It has a decent nose, but the taste is weak, some malt and a little hop presence noted. Cloudy and a bit tart, but not a good offering from this fine brewery.

I didn’t think it was vile but it was pretty lame for a white. Evident but unflattering orange/coriander mix. Crisp and bubbly with no head and no yeast sediment in the bottle. Also had a metallic coppery twang to it. My bottle was older so this may not be a fair review.
