"White Aborigine"
A wheat India pale ale. fermented with Belgian style wit yeast, that combined with Citra and Galaxy hop make this beer both hoppy and refreshing, with some wheat maltiness in the background for balance.

Can. An unclear golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of oranges, hops, wheat, and barley. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat, citrus fruits, hops, and barley, leading to a bitter finish. 6/1/6/3/13

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
Korralikult mõru, kuiv, nats nisune, puuviljane. Ok.

0,5 draught at the home of Labietis with Snegurochka. A slightly sickened look of hazy straw yellow to the body with a lacklustre clear white excuse for a head. Luckily, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and also should come from the inside. This reviewer is always encouraged by particularly off-looking beers and this is not exception. Once you wake up and smell the coffee - or at least the beer - you immediately wonder where the cat was last night. The slightly strained urinal impressions quickly give way to sugar, baked goods and candy. That's a transition you would not expect, certainly. Labelled as a wheat IPA by the brewer this is not what this reviewer expected. Not a bad thing, though. Once you taste this gloriously weird brew you are faced with a similar to the aroma flavour that combines traditional IPA styles with am individual take on the genre. Very bitter and citrusy aftertaste that lasts quite long. The mouthfeel does not sway this reviewer's opinion either way as it is quite okay. Drinking Labietis beers should be fun and this certainly qualifies. A highlight of the night as the previous tasted beers were solid but unoriginal, but this is more what this reviewer wants from Labietis, a brewery that often challenges you and laughs in the face of conventional expectations of what a particular genre of beer should be. Interesting, original and very nice.

Smell-weak hops. Foam- thin, hops, bitter tones. Head is large and white. Sticks. Appearance- brewer bottle cap, simple label. Clear, bit cloudy yellow color, medium carbonation. From - pint Taste- hops, medium bitter tones, bit to high. Bitter and hoppy aftertaste. More hoppy than average wheat beer for sure.
