Telegraph White Ale

This thing was a hazy yellow color with a white head. Unfortunately for Telegraph, they apparently don’t know how to make the beer glow like any real brewer of a witbier could. The nose was grassy in subtle ways and exhibited faint whispers of coriander. The flavor of this beer, if you can find it, is subtly spicy though the extremely wet and watery palate gives birth to only one thought: "this may be the thinnish most watery beers i have ever had"..the flavors have no real pronounced existence, its like the beer sat next to a pile of Coriander on an airplane but then got off the plane without the coriander ever even touching the beer. The only place we get any strong flavors is the very finish, when the beer tastes like really old and stale ground coriander. Seriously, this beer lacks craftsmanship and is an utter failure of craft beer.

Growler from the brewery. Pours a hazy beige with a thin white head. Smells like you expect for a wit, orange and spice, with a nice floral touch and a hint of yeast. The flavor is quite tart, with a spicy kick in the back. Some orange peel is detectible, but the lemon tang is the most prominent character. Clean and light palate with spritzy carbonation. This is a little more tart and cleaner tasting than most wits. Definitely one of the most drinkable beers that I’ve ever had. Light and very refreshing.

Tap @ Hamilton’s. Pretty good wit. You know what to expect and it delivers. This is a pretty standard US wit. Won’t knock your socks off, but delivers on the clove and bananas. I also ate 20 wings in preparation for the 50 wing challenge.

On tap at Liar’s Club. Hazy yellow with a fizzy white head. Orange and clove aroma and taste with some decent wheat bread notes. Good.
