Sterkens White Ale

Brewed by Brewery Ommegang (Moortgat)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Cooperstown, New York USA

Extremely pale, with lively carbonation, big head, lots of yeast. Aroma and flavor are pretty weak, with some nice yeasty and wheaty flavor, some lemon, not much else. Pretty watery, not a great white but certainly not bad.

pale yellow color, small white head that diminishes. fruity aroma. mixable sedement in the bottom of th ebottle. mild hops, little malt. sweet taste. smooth palate.

Bottle... I think that someone sent me this, but I can’t remember who. Thanks to the academy. Pours chunky as hell which I hate... I just don’t like to drink chunks in my beer... that’s why I filter out my homebrew. Nose is of black pepper and a little sour note to it as well. Tastes like black pepper as well as a medicine quality. Not good. Maybe this bottle is old after looking at the other ratings, but it sucks. No flavor at all that is pleasing. Sort of bland and blah..... I won’t even waste my time finishing this swill. This is by far the worst Belgian brew that I have ever had. Cool palate, but no good other than that. Sucks.

Pours orange/yellow and somewhat cloudy with a small off white head. Smells appley with only the vaguest aroma of vanilla. Taste is of anise and some yogurt qualities. Watery on the finish.

Light yeasty appley aroma. Not much head but then again I didn’t pour it aggressively b/c of the large amount of yeast in the bottle. Light palate. Spicy clove like flavor. Maybe some roastiness too??? Drinkable but nothing close to impressive. Glad I only bought a single.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with lots of floaties. Aroma is bready and vanilla. Flavor is a nice mix of spice and coriandier. A good example of the style.

I thought this was right on for the style. Pale, white pale, in color, a tad cloudy. Can very much taste the Belgian yeast strain which definitely gives off a distinct flavor. Compelling on the nose and refreshing. A leg up on the competition. Kinda hard to find.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of toasted grain, grassy hops, mustiness, and banana. Flavor of spicy yeast, buttery, and malty.
