really nice belgian white. i compare most to alagash, and this one was right up there. not bad spice content, not enough to contend w/ alagash, but decent. nice clean aftertase that warrants many more drinks.

Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of coriander and a hint of citrus. Flavor matches the aroma. Decent beer.

Clear yellow, filtered, thick creamy looking white head. Standard aroma for the style, coriander and citrus. Nice full banana palate with a touch of orange. Decent, not great.

Clean straw blonde body with a light head. Nice coriander and light orange aromas. However the flavor demonstrates considerably more robustness. Strong coriander and orange peel across a full wheaty body. Much more agressive than its Belgian Witt brethren.

22 oz. bottle from moejuck - thanks Joe! I wasn’t too excited about this one for some reason, but man did it sneak up on me. Poured hazy copper with a white head. Smell is white grapes, tangy orange juice, overripe cantaloupe, and yeast. The orange really comes through in the taste, along with pear, a bit of blueberry, some typical Belgian spicing, and a nice hop finish. Tastes light but the body has some heft to it. Overall, fruity, tasty, and pretty refreshing.

12oz - Brassy, cloudy pour with a 1/4" white head. Nice lace throughout. Watery feel with a spicy palate. Some hops at the finish. A good, solid white, comparable to Hoegaarden

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a small white head. Not an attractive beer. Spicy citrus nose with grain. Nice, easy drinking palate with a bit of tongue tingle. Rich wheat based flavor, jazzed up with Belgian yeast and citrus notes of orange peel and lemon zest.

The look is very thick and cloudy. Bright sunny yellow. No head but that may be my own fault. Looks sunny and refreshing. Some spciy orange peel in the nose. Mild wheat base. Smell is mild overall but orange and Belgian spices dominate. The taste has a spicy initial burst, then a more sweetish fruity flavor. As it warms, a pleasant puckery sour flavor comes out. Strong Belgian Ale spices; halfway between a Belgian ale and a witbier. Quite pleasant. Feels fizzy but smooth. Juice-like feel on the way down. A nice spicy-sweet Belgian white ale. Easy drinking with a small bite.
