Served in a 20oz imperial pint at Goose Island-Clybourn 10/20/08. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist!
From the beer menu: "Blend of malted & unmalted barley, oats, wheat, rice, corn, & rye, and spicy Belgian Wit yeast."
A: Served a deep, tarnished copper color. The light-tan head left behind sticky lace webbing.
S: Sweet grain, spicy rye, and toasted oats. Smells "Wit-y"
T: Sweet grainy malt, peppery rye, dry roasted malt, a hint of dark chocolate, citrus-y hops, and Wit yeast. Sweet oats and corn in the finish.
M: Dry and sticky. Alternates between sweet, dry, and bitter. Quite oily and peppery.
D: Man oh man. This is one of the most drinkable and/or sessionable beers I've had from the GI-Clybourn crew since maybe Smooth IPA (and that's going back a looong way). I love the direction the're following the last few years and this is another forehead slapping "for crying out loud, why don't they bottle this beer?" beer that they are so adept at creating there.
