Our first venture into organically-produced beer, Mothership Wit Organic Wheat Beer elevates the zesty Wit or White beers of Belgium. Our far-flung Beer Rangers affectionately refer to our Fort Collins brewery as the Mothership, a name that conjures images of earth shot from space and the interconnectivity of it all. Mothership Wit is brewed with wheat and barley malt, as well as coriander and orange peel spicing resulting in a balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation.

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a clear bright yellow with almost no head. This reminds me of one of those lemonade beers. Has an aroma of sweet wheat and citrus notes. Lightly sweet. Definitely tastes like wheat. Nice little spice in there, almost like nutmeg. Light bodied with a thin texture, fizzy carbonation and a slightly sweet, abrupt finish. Overall, it’s not that bad. Not my favorite style but it’s drinkable. Probably a good lawnmower beer.

12 oz. bottle at Cyprus Street. Pours an incredibly pale, cloudy yellow, nearly white, with a nearly nonexistent head. The smell is classic witbier, with notes of wheat, oranges, and spices. The flavor is sweet with a wonderful citrus tartness. The body is a little thin and astringent. A standard wit formula, but well executed.

Hazy yellow with a small white head. Strong perfumed coriander aroma, completely overpowering everything else. Dry and refreshing wit flavour, but with a lot of coriander still

bottle pours light yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is strong lemon grass and wheat. Flavor is semi-sweet and sour wheat, grassy malts, with a hint of lemon and orange peel in the finish. Coriander lingers long in the finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with a white head. Aroma is fairly musty, but also has wheat and cloves. Flavor is led by cloves and has a bit of tart funk, wheat, spice, and green apple. A bit thin overall.
