750 ml bottle from aprox 2007 deep golden color no head caramels soft and sweet aroma and flavor. Smooth almost buttery palette especially as it warmed a bit. Easy on the Belgian spice notes but smooth and soft. Probably from the long aging in my garage fridge.

Draught at Mckay’s Taphouse, Bellingham
Cloudy blond color, small head. There is a light what aroma and flavor, some malt flavor too, light malt crispness, light cookies, light spiciness (elegant one); correct bitterness.
Among white beers, a quite good one.

Bottle, 11C. Gold with an inch of white head that never quite disappears. Aroma of lemon, flowers, plenty of candi sugar, slight dough and herbs. Immensely sweet with cloves and pepper at the end. Grew on me a bit as the shock of the sweetness wore off - there’s some slightly astringent pineapple, pears, apricot and dough in there too but it all gets monstered - "huge amount" of candi sugar indeed. But the alcohol is not raw and the mouthfeel’s pleasant enough. Some interesting things going on, but far too sweet for me for this sort of thing.

Pours a clear gold with minimal head. Sweet candy like aroma typical of a Tripel. Sweet flavor with a strange aftertaste. Alcohol is very evident. A little rough and this one has been in the cellar a bit too.

Bottle @ Dan’s house. Not much head when poured. Clear, golden orange appearance with a small white head. Very tangy, orange fruity, bready yeasty, richly fruity aroma. Slightly boozy, bready, almost cloying, sugary, orange citrusy flavor. Noticeable alcohol. Some oxidation which I guess isn’t too surprising, as this bottle is probably two years old. Not horrible but it was way too expensive for the quality.

Location: Draft at Rogue SF, 5/12/11

Aroma: This one has a nose made up of wheat and spice components
Appearance: The pour is a cloudy yellow color with a small white head
Flavor: The taste is spice and wheat, like the nose, with a little bit of citrus too
Palate: The body is fairly medium, with a decent mouthfeel and texture to it
Overall Impression: Overall, this is a solid Belgian white with a decent spice presence and a solid body. Not a bad offering at all.

Bottle @ home. Cloudy, yellow-orange-light brown appearance with a white head. Ginger, coriander, orange peel, spicy, yeasty, wheat malty nose. Interesting flavor: cinnamon, ginger, coriander, orange peel, other spices, Belgian yeasty flavor. Slightly spicy aftertaste. Certainly an interesting idea adding cinnamon to a witbier. Pretty good.
