Great White is the beer that started it all – it’s the original gangsta. And it remains one of our very favorites to this day. Crisp and refreshing, it’s everything you could ever want from a Belgian-style white. It’s full-bodied, unfiltered, and goes down oh-so smooth. The hint of citrus and coriander sets it apart from other Belgian whites.

Cloudy yellow with a large creamy that that left a fine lace behind on the glass. Light citrusy aroma. Very reserved wheat and spice flavor. Very timid, needs more assertion.

Blond color, big head. Light aroma, corn and vanilla. Dry mouthfeel, light taste, a bit lemony: bad. Useless final.

Very hazy light golden colour with a very dense small-bubbled white head. Aroma of a small amount of high a.a. hops-perhaps Northern Brewer. Some of the coriander seed comes out in the aroma, but it is fairly mild. Light-bodied; Watery taste with a small amount of flavour. Sweet initial flavour with the spiceyness catching up. A different style wit, but very welcome. Aftertaste only shows a bit of malt, some spiceyness and no hops nor sweetness. Overall, a decent wit, different...but good. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at the Fresh Market in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Guess I’ll be the oddball here and say that this is the worst wit I’ve ever had. Not as cloudy as a traditional white, but not clear like a filtered one. Also, in addition to the tiny particles that contribute to the appropriate cloudiness, there were bits of larger material floating about. Poured with a light fizzy head that disappeared quickly. Bubbly light mouthfeel. Clean citrusy aroma. Lemony citrus flavor but lemony in a sort of lemon Kool-Ade way as opposed to a spritzy citrus character. Unless I had a bad bottle, I’d have to say to stay far away from this and seek out some Allagash. Update. Nothing about my resampling of this beer makes me want to change my rating. Citrus is not as present as I previously wrote. Instead a spicier note dominates, with a hint of orange in the background. This bottle was generally clear and has the appearance of a filtered beer, golden and dark for a wit. Small bubbly head disappeared in seconds. Plain wheat flavor up front, with an overly hoppy finish. I’ll raise it from 1.7 to 2.0, that is it.

Cloudy pale yellow. Big floral and coriander aroma. Floral, very sweet, citrusy body. The kaffir lime leaf stands out. I like it.
