Commercial Description:
Black Orchard is an unfiltered, bottle / keg conditioned Belgian-style black wheat beer, or “black wit”, if you will. This dark but surprisingly light bodied beer is very drinkable while still having character and complexity. Chamomile is added for its floral aroma, while the coriander and citrus peel give the characteristics of a traditional witbier. (ABV: 5.7%, IBU: 15, SRM: 26, Release: Year Round, Format: 750 mL bottles and 30L kegs)

bottle. Pours a darker brown cola color. Roasted maltwith some slight coffee fill the aroma with some subtle belgian spiciness. Taste was roasty upfront followed by a wierd sour/tart twang that lasted on the tip of your tongue for awhile. was hoping for more with this being by first trip to The Bruery. Interesting beer though

Other than the slow and constant geyser from the bottle, this beer is not as interesting as I’d hopped. Slightly herbal, with some hints at a classic wit, but not one I will revisit.
