An alternative to dark and heavy winter warmers and stouts, Bright White (formerly Winter White) is a stylish and refreshing Wheat Ale.
Fermented with a Belgian ale yeast, this blend of barley and wheat malts yields a mixture of clove and fruity aromas, all without the use of any spices

Bottle. A- White pepper, cloves, wheat, light fruity esters. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Wheat, clove, coriander, spices, subtle banana, subtle bubblegum. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- I can always appreciate witbiers since they are what got me into craft. That said, this is one of the better ones I have had recently but my palate has just changed too much. Don’t get a ton of fruity esters, especially banana, but there is quite a bit of spice.

First mostly undrinkable beer I’ve tasted from Bell’s, but man is this thing wretched. Flat and head-free despite its spicy Belgian carbonation, Winter White starts bittersweet but quickly heads in the wrong direction, stacking your average bananaclove hefe notes on top of a unpleasant cloy corn sweetness. Finishes spiky and saccharine where it should be smooth and dry. Rough goings, to say the least.

Bottle. It pours a clear golden color with a small, white disappearing head. The aroma has some salt and pepper with subtle coriander and hints of lemon. Lightly toasted malt. The flavor is the same. Toasted malt backbone with subtle coriander, pepper, light orange and lemon citrus. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Carbonation is medium high. The malt and yeast character are very well balanced and complement each other well. Very good.

Can. Pours hazy pale yellow with large spongy white head, citrus aroma, medium carbonation, slightly sour lemon taste, abrupt finish. Easy to drink but not that impressive.
