Sweetwater Hummer

Formerly brewed at Sweetwater Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Atlanta, Georgia USA

Good white ale! I had mine with an orange wedge squeezed into it. Yummy! A great lazy Saturday or Sunday afternoon beer for a hot weekend. An orange cloudy pour with a fizzy white head that dissipated rather quickly. Tastes of orange and oriental spices with a malty doughey finish.

Bottle purchased at Vulcan Beverages, Birmingham, AL. Pours cloudy dark yellow, orange, with an average white frothy head, somewhat lasting, fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, meal, hay, straw), light hops (grass), heavy yeast (dough) with notes of banana and coriander. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation and a chalky finish. Light sweetness, acidity and bitterness; light refreshing summer ale.

A very hot waitress at the Flying Saucer gave me the beer list. I quickly ordered a Hummer. Anxiously awaiting, I was immediately disappointed when she returned without knee pads, but with a pint of witbier. Pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Faint aroma of citrus and yeast esters. Soft carbonation and very soft and light on the palate. Flavor of orange zest, wheat malt, and coriander. Finish is a bit thin. This would really hit the spot on a hot day. If this would have just a little bit more malt backbone, this would be outstanding.Overall, this is a pretty respectable witbier and much better than I expected, but I would have preferred a hummer.

Floral aroma, hints of citrus. Pours cloudy gold. Citrus and honey, with a lot of corriander, spicey. Not bad.

Pours into a cloudy white yellow with a small head. Very straightforward, aroma and taste of orange and ginger. Expected more.

Thanks to DLacayo. Bottle: A typical wtibier, one dimensional and straight forward. Refreshing citrus body with a nice malty complement.

Thanks to shp555 for this. Pours turbid morning urine yellow color with 2-finger whitish head. Aroma of heavy citrus, orange zest, coriander, floral spices. Tastes very spicy, with a lot of coriander, orange marmalade, white pepper, apricot, and floral notes. Complex, medium density palate that gets sweeter and more orange marmalady as it warms up. Pretty good brew here.

pours hazy golden yellow. sweet orange aroma. mild sweet flavor with alight citrus taste. It is refreshing but not the best witte ive had lately (ommegang or allagash was) and I can get it at the corner store here so I might get it again.
