For Scratch #99, we’re revisiting the blissful world of the Belgian-style Witbier, or white ale. This beer typically features a blend of wheat and barley along with spices and Belgian yeast to create a refreshing and complex flavor. With a dense haze from the red wheat and a foamy white head, Scratch #99 incorporates subtle tartness and a delicate orange aroma that complements the spices and the LaChouffe yeast. The finish is dry and crisp.

Deep hazy golden coloured body with a straw yellow haze and a nice two centimetre tall white head. Aroma of pale wheat, some light floral hops, alcohol, coriander seed and a bit of sugar from fresh fruit. Medium-bodied; Assertive wheat and yeast flavours with a hint of spice, earth, nutmeg and sugars. Aftertaste shows some curacao, bubblegum, passionfruit and a bit of a dry, herbal hoppiness that lingers. Overall, a nice wit, especially in the heat, light and airy, but with a nice flavour profile. I sampled this pint on draught at Pony Bar in New York, New York on 13-July-2013 for US$5, as always.
