The name "Grey Lady" comes from the nickname for the often-foggy island for which it is brewed. This hazy, Belgian-style Wit emits a complex, earthy nose with sophisticated notes. The sift, malty mid-palate has wicked good zesty hints but gives way to a delectably dry finish. Quenching!

On tap at Yardhouse SLP. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of flora and light fruit with sweet wheat backing and a hint of bitter citrus. Flavor is similar with flora, light fruits and sweet wheat throughout and a hint of tart citrus in the finish.

This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy golden yellow color with a soft one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving barely any lacing. Light carbonation is seen rising at a moderate pace.
The smell had a nice sweet to spicy arrangement of peppercorn, slightly floral and a fresh cut grassiness wrapping it up nicely.
The taste had a sweet bready with a light Belgian candied yeastiness arranging itself tightly with the sweet floral and grassy qualities. As it warms, sweet lemon runs in to blend nicely. A quick lemon aftertaste runs in to the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Definitely a Summer pounder as the carbonation is fairly subdued.
Overall, I say this was a light version of a witbier, flavorful but nothing remotely overbearing.

A nice, cloudy wit, spicy aroma, healthy golden color. Maybe a little heavy on the spice in the mouth, but overall a pleasant taste: malty and some bitterness. Mouthfeel was nice, rich and had almost a creaminess to it. Solid beer.

Bottle shared at GBBF ’14, day 1, 12/08/14. Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is floral, spice, citric peel, marjoram. Taste comprises lemon rind, spice, bready notes, orange. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Ok for style but nothing I’d rush back for.

GBBF Day 1. Bottle share. Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and crisp and semi dry. Minerals. Mild malts. Nice lemon that reminds me of Earl Grey, but I guess that is the power of suggestion and association. Touch of orangey basil Light crisp finish. Very light and tasty.
