White Capped and Lively – the frothy white head of this distinctive nitro brew softly cascades into bright gold. The first sip reveals a smooth velvety taste with a light wheat character and hints of orange while an undercurrent of peppery spice adds a bright finish.

At a tasting, thanks, small creamy head, a bit cloudy orange color, aroma of yeast, roots, ginger coriander wood and candy, flavor of spice, and herbs,light bitterness, feels quite flat, nitro doesn’t fit in. Not too good.

New Beer Distributors, New York: pours nitro head over orange body. Atoma is orange and wheaty maltiness along with maybe some buuterscotch. Taste is citrusy and creamy with a strange notro twist on the whole situation. Weird.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a murky apricot color with an enormous creamy white head that lingered forever and left incredible lacing. The aroma was lemon and coriander. The flavor was tart with very strong artificial lemon and nothing else. Very long finish. Medium body. Disappointing.

15 ounce can. Cloudy golden color. Thick creamy white head, about a finger high. Faint wheat malt aroma with notes of coriander. Creamy wheat malt flavor with notes of lemon peel, coriander and biscuit mix. Very creamy, but very light in body and flavor. Reminds me of a bisque beer. To creamy and not enough flavor.

From a can. Yes, this is a big glorious nitro widget pour. Giant puffy creamy looking head. Orange yellow cloudy brew. Muted artificial perfume aroma. So, I guess this is the new thing for sammy, lets make all of our popular beers with the nitro widget thing and see what sells. Whatever. Cannot get used to these flat feeling nitro bombs. Taste is slightly bitter and without the excitement of co2, I find it rather boring if not barely acceptable. Not impressed but it does look cool when you pour it. Sam I am!

15 oz. Can. Lucky for a single, couldn’t drink a four pack. Not terrible just Ho-Hum. Yeah, the nitro looks nice as it cascades.
Aroma is light orange peel, lemon, traces of coriander. Taste of orange peel, coriander, in a wheat backbone. Weak herbal bitterness and yeast spiciness in the back of the sip. The texture is nice from the Nitro. Not much else to say here. Maybe if you were in a chain restaurant in New England without much to offer on draft you might order this.

Can. Peach. lemon, clove, and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with large head. Sweet peach, orange, wheat malt and mildly bitter dry grass flavor - a bit blunted by the nitro though. Nice body. Pleasant - unique to say the least.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
15 oz. can. Pours an extremely cloudy orangish-yellow with a tight, white, head that lasts forever. Citrus (sweet lemon, orange) is the main aroma and kind of overpowers anything else. Taste is just what the aroma foretold ... lemon, orange, slightly sweet, with undertones of wheat. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Even though there is tons of carbonation in this, it just doesn’t feel like it on the tongue. The feel is more like soft carbonation with a moderate finish.
Overall, this is an interesting beer. Lots of citrus flavor with a good feel on the palate. Now I’m curious to try some of the other types in this Nitro line of theirs.

Refrigerated 15 oz. aluminum can poured into a weizen glass. Hazy golden with medium off-white head. Aroma is coriander & ginger, medium body, well carbonated, creamy texture, and thick lacing. Taste is coriander, some esters , and some ginger. I would say below average Wit.

15 ounce can into imperial pint glass, best before 6/2016. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, pepper, clove, light banana, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aroma with good balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, pepper, clove, light banana, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, pepper, clove, wheat, cracker, bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and pale malt notes; with a nice malt/yeast/spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, silky, fairly creamy/bready, and slightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice witbier style. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, and pale malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. Was hoping for a bit more yeast presence; but this still had a solid amount, and was very well balanced with the spice and malt flavors. A nicely enjoyable offering.
