The Bruery Orchard White

I was really excited to try this beer. it’s been sitting in my wine fridge for weeks just staring back at me, but I’m sad to say that I’ve very disappointed. The aroma was a little too weak for me, almost not there. The flavor was pretty flat and boring. I’ve had a few other witbiers and this just didn’t measure up. Not enough of a pronounced flavor. I won’t bother with this one again.

Bottle. Nice pale yellow pour with a bubbly white head. Lavender, coriander, small fruits, orange bark aromas make for a pretty complex nose. Taste is spicy, lightly fruity with a strong spice finale (cinnamon). Mouthfeel is over sparkly for my taste and it’s very short.
