Commercial Description:
Summer White is faithful to the Belgian wheat style with its light body, cloudy color and touch of spices. A complex but refreshing ale perfect for summer drinking.

Editor's Note: It is unknown at present exactly where each of the Spanish Peaks beers are being brewed. Flying Dog no longer makes any of them. Some are brewed by City Brewery in LaCrosse, WI. Expect this beer entry to move as more recent info becomes available.

Extremely pale, cloudy yellow with a foamy white head that disipates quickly. Aroma quite spicy. Flavor a bit artificial and watery. Refreshing but not fantastic.

Pours from the bottle a cloudy light yellow hue. Initially creates a nice tight white head which slowly fades from view to a few splotches of isolated foam. Nice aromas of wheat grain, clove, lemon and banana greet the nose. Mouthfeel is lively and spritzy as expected for the style, but for some reason seems a but thin and stinging. Taste was refreshingly light with notes spices (especially coriander), lemon peel, orange, clove, wheat and a bit of vanilla. Finish started out pleasantly sweet bit had a somewhat weird bitter tang at the end. Odd for the style. Overall a nice summer thirst quencher with some decent complexity.

12oz bottle-A cloudy yellowish golden body witha small white head and an aroma of coriander, lemon, and wheat. Taste of the same with a lemon dryness on the back end. Not a bad wit but not the best.

12oz, no date. Clear straw bright yellowish with lots of tiny, tiny floaties that stay suspended throughout. The white head was small and faded to a ring after a minute or so. Perfumey artificial ripe orange and lemon up front in the flavor with some spicy coriander and biscuity malts backing it up--not amazing, but pretty decent at least. Flavor was a little more perfumey. Semi dry spicy finish. Minimal bitterness, if there was any to even be had. Light carbonation with a light body. I’ve had worse, and I’ve had better. I gave both the aroma and flavor a 6, but I liked the aroma the more. Not a 7 more though.

350 ml bottle from Bevmo. Clear pale yellow with fizzy white head. Spicy and citrus aroma. Faint lemon taste with a mild spiciness to the finish.

pours a cloudy light yellow with a good size white head, very fizzy and lots of sediment taking rides on the bubbles. smell - fermented lawn clippings, a touch of spice. taste - wheat, a little lemon, and a bit of spice. wouldn’t say that i would buy this again.

Bottle from BevMo. Pours a hazy light golden color with a small white head. Spicy aroma of wheat and some sweet yeastiness. Tastes like a decent wheat. A little strong on the peel though. Finish is more subdued. Not bad.

Pour heavy on particulates (even compared to other witbiers) with somewhat persistent white head. Lemon, wheat, and a bit of spice stand out in the aroma...nothing exciting, but pleasant nevertheless. Very lemony on the palate and this flavor lingers for a little while...would concur with others that lemon flavor seems a bit fake, but a refreshing summer brew nevertheless
