Witbier brewed with orange peel and coriander
This traditional Belgian-style white ale refreshes the body and illuminates the spirit. Brewed with malted and unmalted wheat and seasoned with coriander and sweet orange peel, Witte pours hazy, smooth and flavorful, with aromas of citrus and clove.
Crisp and refreshing on its own, it shines brightly alongside lighter fare like salads and appetizers, and serves as a perfect complement to barbecue and spicy dishes.
Enjoy a taste of the sun. Santé!

Pours bright yellow into a tumbler. Head quickly recedes and holds steady on the surface. Banana, clove, and lemon notes. Upfront dry wheat with orange flavors. Abrupt, dry finish. Slightly watery, but refreshing.

Pour is a clear yellow with a fluffly white head. Aroma is a very nice combo of citrus and wheat. Flavor is not as good as the aroma but i get lots of lemon bitterness with a touch of vanilla. Not the best of the style but there are pleasing aspects to this brew.

Sample at Whole Foods Market. Hazy straw color with a thin, frothy white head. Minimal lacing. Light spice and zesty citrus aroma. The mouthfeel is light and dry with a good amount of citrus but not too much spice flavor. The finish is airy short with more citrus and a bit of coriander. Light and refreshing, and maybe a little boring but above average.

Bottle. Hazy, pale straw colored beer with a big white head. Wheat and orange aroma with some yeast. Wheat flavor with very little yeast or spice. Very dry. Could use something to add some depth to it.

Bottle. Clove, lemon, peach aroma. Light tan yellow color with small quickly disappating head. Tart strong clove flavor (strongest I’ve ever tasted in a wheat beer - really comes out in the aftertaste). Light hints of lemon. I’m not a huge fan of the clove flavor but if you like clove flavor, this would be a good choice.

Loads of citrus in this beer. The aroma is dominated by citrus with wheat. Clloudy, dark yellow but nearly no head. The flavor has grapefruit, wheat, coriander, and spices. Actually spicy is a good description for this beer. Better than most of this style.

Bottle: Poured a pale clear yellow color ale with below average head with average retention. Aroma of orange and very subtle coriander. Taste is very light with limited spice (lack of coriander) with some limited sweetness/floral aspect. Carbonation is good but body is too thin. Watery feeling on the aftertaste kind of ruin this one for me.

I have been growing rather fond of this brewer in recent months. I managed to sample most of their stuff at some beer festivals but not enough to have rated them yet. This was my first chance to try this one - and given my love of wheat beers I had pretty high expectations. Sampled from a 25 oz brown bottle this beer poured a straw yellow color with a large white head. There was a moderately strong wheat and citrus aroma. The flavor was surprisingly mild. There was not much citrus. There was only a mild sour-sweet wheat flavor. Drinkable but rather bland.
