Victory Whirlwind Witbier

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Heavily carbonated (big bubbles) to medium white head; pineapplejuice-coloured head. Serious coriander load, with citrus and wheat - nothing but very classical. Coriander, spicy, bit of lunaria, citrus & citruspeel. Reasonably refreshing, just a wee bit too much of the infernal weed spoiling the texture. A very classical, rather true-to-style Belgian wit.
Alas.

Wonderful Witbier from Victory. Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a frothy white head that quickly dissipates. Splendid aroma of fruity and estery notes - just what you want from a Wit. Flavor was softly spicy and pleasant. A great beer with a smooth finish. I really enjoyed it. I think most do not embrace this style - hence my higher grade on this one than the average.

The label is funny, and the beer is pale yellow with a fizzy head. There is a mild aroma of sweet malt plus citrus and cherry notes. It starts a little sour in the mouth, then shifts into mild fruity sweetness. This is nice, but too thin - an acceptable warm weather beer, but you wouldnt want to pour it for your Uncle Bob.

Tap at the Blue Nile. Slightly musty nose with a hint of orange peel and yeasty spice. Pours a hazy gold. Nice balance on the palate between sweet and spicy yeast. Good carbonation. Medium bodied. Finishes quite spicy and dry.

Pours a cloudy copper color. Has white head. Hints of your typical wheat. A lot of yeast in this one. Finishes lite on the palate. Disappointing.

pours a cloudy yellow with a one finger fluffy white head. aroma is wheat with a touch of hops and Belgium yeast. has some banana, clove, and lemon characteristics. has a light to medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. there is nice lively carbonation in the glass with some sediment. has a little creamy mouth feel and a little orange peel aroma and flavor. a descent wit beer and i would probably buy again for a hot summer day. definitely light on the palate, maybe just a tad to light for a wit. everything kind of fizzles out as it gets warmer, which is pretty quick about half way down the pint.

i found it chalky astringent and just like an alka seltzer. the flavor was decent at best. it tastes something like a belgium. had it before and did’nt like it then either. a bit spicy and lemony, hate to say it but i’d probably rather have wine.
