Nicie is an American Wheat Ale brewed with orange zest, lemon zest, coriander, and a hint of peppercorn. Orange-gold in color and light in body, Nicie is infused with the scents and flavors of fresh citrus. The subtle taste of coriander and spice of peppercorn makes this ale both refreshing and complex. Nicie is the perfect accompaniment to a summer day.

Served on draft at the Michigan Summer Beerfest, 2010, as part of RBSG festivities. Pours a hazy peach color with a large head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of green peppercorns and other peppery notes. The taste is peach, other stone fruits and bread. Bitter finish.

9th October 2008. GABF. A very dry and perfumed spicy beer. Fairly hot as is spicy not alcohol) finish. The overall feel of this beer reminded me of the dry spicy mix you get in Indian restaurants, Unusual beer!

On tap at Ashley’s. Poured gold with no head. Aroma had notes of citrus peels, cinnamon, peeper and a touch of coriander. Flavor began with sweet grain flavors before spices listed above kick in. Pepper was quite dominate in aftertaste.

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a growler. The beer is a hazy orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of pepper and wheat with a touch of malt. Light body with flavors of peppery wheat bread, malt and mild citrus. The finish is lightly spiced and fruity and the pepper lingers a bit. Interesting and above average overall.

On tap at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Pulpy orange-brown body, thin creamy buff head. Potent potpourri-like nose with coriander and pepper notes. The coriander and especially peppercorns dominate the body, giving the beer a slight burn, strange and interesting. Bready wheat notes lurk beneath the sharp spices. Probably best enjoyed as a half-pint.

2004 draught at the MBGSBF. Golden/maize colored, bright and mostly clear with a small white head. Smells very powerful, bittersweet and spicy, with muted vinegar and a tangy spiced note that reminds me of black peppercorn wheat crackers. A hint of sweetness in there. Flavor is very round, sweet and spicy. This is one of the most heavily spiced beers I’ve tried. I did pick up some sweetness to it, though the heavy wheat presentation seemed to dry it out way too much. The pepper mixed with the citric qualities seemed to create a strange bittersweet (slightly remenescent of sweet and sour sauce). It still had some light beer qualities and was drinkable, just very unique.
