330ml bottle, day 7 of 'The Great White Wonder Adventure Pack', a collaboration between Central City and Parallel 49 to provide a Beer Advent (I can say that, even if they can't) holiday experience. Yeah, because winter just screams out for witbier.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, bright medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of swooping pterodactyl profile lace around the glass as it quickly wafts off.
It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and bready pale malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, candied orange peel, more sugary than spicy coriander, a hint of Belgian yeastiness, and very subtle earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery cereal malt, rather sweet fleshy orange notes, soggy Wheat Thins, muddled coriander/pepper mill dust spice, ethereal yeast, and some understated weedy, leafy, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, as the spice pokes around a bit, but to no real consequence. It finishes off-dry, the malt, orange, and fading spice landing as such.
Overall - well, this comes off as a whole hell of a lot sweeter than yer average witbier, maybe they could have added some cocoa powder and called it Wonderful Winter Chocolate Orange White Ale. Wait, they kind of already have something like that. Anyways, an out of season gimmick that kind of falls flat. Next.
