Belgian-Style Ale Brewed with Spices, Wheat and Oats
Orchard White is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned Belgian-style witbier. This hazy, straw yellow beer is spiced with coriander, citrus peel and lavender added to the boil and whirlpool. A spicy, fruity yeast strain is used to add complexity, and rolled oats are added for a silky texture.
Admin Note: This is retired and has moved over the Bruery Terreux line starting in 2015.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy pale gold with a thick, but quickly dissipating white head. Aroma reminded me of a pilsner with a bit of tart cherries. Flavor was had a clear wheat note with tart cherries and flora notes underlying.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a nice, thick white head. Aroma is sweet, citrus, spices, bread, floral to the max. Flavor is clove, coriander, yeasty bread, wheat, malts, and overall goodness. As the beer is consumed, there is quite a bit of lacing. Pretty refreshing at 5.7 percent.

Bottle from Paiste2002, thanks! Blonde, hazy. Citrusaroma, wheaty, with some flowery and lavender notes. Citrusflavor, thinnish with honey, wheat and lavender, more outspoken as in the aroma. Pleasant, but a bit too perfumed for me.

Scored a 750ml from Chevy Chase Wine in DC. Pours a hazy, translucent, orange with a frothy white head. Aroma is all spices, coriander, orange peel, white pepper, Belgian yeast. Flavor was over the top on the spice, you can get a touch of the wheat and some slight sweetness from the oats, but it’s almost all spice. Chalky finish.

Courtesy of TampaBrew. Pours deep gold with 10 second white head. The aroma is sugary malts, cotton candy, apricot and flowery perfume. The taste is fresh and peppy with a pulse of carbonation bringing up white wine notes followed by grains, flowers and light colored fruitiness. This brew is both tasty and refreshing.

Bottle: Poured a hazy beige/orangey color ale with a super large pure white foamy head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma of coriander and orange peel is quite dominant with loads of wheat also easily noticeable. Taste is also dominated by some coriander and orange peel with light bubblegum ester and a strong wheat malt body. Body is full with lower then usual filtration and perfect carbonation. Very well done and one of the best wit I had the chance to try.
