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)

750 from South Bay. Pours dark brown with a genetous tan head. Smells of citrus, coriander, bananas, some nice spicy hints, wheat. Tastes citrussy with some tarte lemony hints, notes of coriander, some nutty hints. Tastes like a blend of brown ale and witbier.

Nearly black with a huge tan head. Tart bready wheat and oat aromas. Light bodied with a frothy mouthfeel. Nice flavors of tart wheat, beady malts, with peppercorn spices and rich dark raisons. Enjoyed this one.

Bottle. Pours a dark hazy brown with a large off white head. Nose is dusty, light fruit notes with a light dry malt note. Palate is medium with a nice light fizz and a filminess. Flavors are dusty and dry with a light kind of cherry note.

Bottle @ Bailey’s Taproom... Poured near black with an off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits (very grape-like), malt and spices. Dark malt and plum/fruit flavors. Lighter body and other flavors of herbs and a vegetable quality (like root or cauliflower). Light, sweet malts towards the end.

Bottle @ BevMo. Pours dark with a thick black color, tan head. Aroma is dark fruits: raisins, currants, dates. Flavor is nice and not overly sweet. Kind of like a cross between a Belgian Ale and a Brown Ale.

Poured mostly black, as it formed large foamy head. Aroma of hops, light chocolates. Flavour was of milk chocolaty goodness that has a tinge of spice.
