A swirling dynamo of flavor, with a steady calm of satisfaction at its heart, that's Whirlwind Witbier. Offering a tamed tempest of flavors both spicy and sublime, this softly fermented ale greets the nose and tingles the tongue. Imported Belgian yeast charges Whirlwind with an energy all its own. It is a refreshing interpretation of the classic, Belgian 'white beer' style.

Bottle. Weak plastic aroma, not too unpleasant though. Orange colour, a lot of floating yeast. Almost no head. The flavour is slightly sweet, has some pumpkin spice, whatever that is. Mild milk note, perhaps a little paper.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is slightly hazed yellow golden with a one inch white head that falls quick. Aroma of wheat, spice, orange and yeastiness. Nice full Wit nose. Taste is the wheat and clove spiciness primarily, with only a bit of citrus lingering behind. The citrus is more lemon than orange in the taste, slight sourness which is nice. I also picked up some soapiness midway through. Palate is medium-thin, with a bit of the soapy spiciness lingering in the aftertaste. Clean, crisp and thirst quenching. Thanks for this one, Mark!

Heavily carbonated (big bubbles) to medium white head; pineapplejuice-coloured head. Serious coriander load, with citrus and wheat - nothing but very classical. Coriander, spicy, bit of lunaria, citrus & citruspeel. Reasonably refreshing, just a wee bit too much of the infernal weed spoiling the texture. A very classical, rather true-to-style Belgian wit. Alas.

Bottle. Musty sour lemon and clove aroma with a hint of sweet orange. Hazy pale yellow with small head. Flavor primarily clove and corriander with light musty lemon and orange peel flavor. Moderate carbonation. More spice and less sour than the average witbier - a very nice beer.

Yes, the whirlwind. 12 oz brown bottle. Pours this, like any wheat, into a clear glass and observe the hypnotizing effect this stuff has on the human brain, swirling attention grabbing clouds of yeast…yummy. . Been waiting a while to taste this brew. The pour starts clear then turns cloudy as you get near the bottom of the bottle. After you pour, you get that desirable sludge on the bottom of the bottle. The color is brownish light pale yellow. The aroma is that of mild wheat beer, how else can I describe it? Mildly citrusy and wheaty. The taste is very gentlemanlike but has a interesting nip to it that is unique to this beer. Taste is like a whitbeer but may be a little more down the alley of hefeweizen. An interesting witbeir to say the least. Right up there with the likes of the rest of the whitbeirs. Hides the alcohol content rather well. There is no bitter linger in this beer, refreshing and enjoyable. Similar in texture and feel as the Sunrise Victory beer. Pretty good but not on par with hogaarden and wittekirke, good try tho.
