Brewed with lemon peel, black peppercorns and coriander.
Triple fermented - first in the tank with Belgian yeast, second in french oak Chardonnay barrels with brettanomyces, and finally in the bottle with a third yeast for natural carbonation.

Reviewed from saved notes.
The appearance was a semi-hazy yellow color with a super quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white fizzy head. Quickly sliding lace.
The aroma had a huge vinous/white grape quality about it, spritzy lemon/citrus sharp qualities, and light mineral water.
The flavor was sour through the vinous/white grape quality and over doing the entire base. Aftertaste was the same and so was the finish.
The palate was light bodied with too much sour harshness distracting the overall enjoyment of this beer. Carbonation was also a bit too much. ABV did feel fine.
Overall, another overdone beer by Anchorage. Not a true witbier and also one that I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole again.

750ml bottle pours out a hazy straw color topped with a white head. Nose is nice pepper lots of spice going on belg yeast some candy notes. Taste is more of the big pepper notes a blend of magic spices and a great finish.

Poured from a Batch 1, May 2011, 750 ml bottle. Aroma is light with some hints of wheat and light honey notes. Light citrus with faint pepper and coriander. Light pineapple and tropical fruit with hints of an earthy must. Pours a crystal clear, yellow straw color with a medium small, somewhat thin, white head that exhibits alright retention as it recedes to a thin film that lingers on the edges for a bit before disappearing. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with hints of wheat and honey. Light citrus notes with lemon and orange. Light coriander and hints of peppercorn. Some light tropical fruit and pineapple notes with hints of an earthy must. Some lingering honey notes and citrus. Medium low bitterness. Hints of chardonnay and oak. Mouthfeel is light bodied and a bit watery with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, I’m not sure if its the age or not, but the beer is thin and the flavors and aromas are very muted. Its an ok beer, and clean, but it is lacking life.
I think this is infected

Bomber shared by Paul. Anchorage whiteout brett witbier 6.5% A very light gold with a filmy wisp of white foam. A wheaty lemon and spice aroma with a light ultra dry body and wheat, brett, lemon and green hops but very minimal witbier character. More an American wheat than a belgian wit but good.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Aroma is funky brett, lemon, lotion, dusty basements, old books, floral, chalky candy. Pours extremely pale yellow with a thick soapy white head with great retention. Taste is dry with flavors of brett, lotion; I can taste black pepper, but don’t think I would have noticed it without it being mentioned on the label. Likewise, I can pick out the chardonnay now that I know it was aged in barrels containing it, but I’m not getting the oak itself. No coriander that I can tell, either. It’s actually kind of bland. Well, it alternates between being interesting from the brett, to a watery blandness that I’m not used to with well made examples of the style. Mouthfeel is champagne-level foamy. It’s not bad, but it’s a bit of a letdown from the description on the label.

Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal, jan-16: klar, svært lys strågul med flott skum som varer. Luftig, lett og elegant i uttrykket, både i aroma og smak. Sitrongress, pepper, dill, koriander er noen av ordene som går rundt i panelet. Kan humlen være Soraci Ace? Superelegant, reneste champagnen, stor begeistring hos alle. Superb palate. Ovesen ønsker seg bare et smørbrød med gravlaks til denne. Et kjærkomment gjensym på Mi2 feb-19: overstående notater tiltredes!

Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 18.01.16. Slightly cloudy pale yellow. Bright white head and lacing. Aroma of lemongrass and dill. Similar taste, with lemon and lime marmalade. Also some grass and chives. Complex and elegant. Lively carbonation. Dry. Very quaffable.
