Baetis Belgian Orange
Madison River Brewing Company

On draught at Wyoming Ale Works.

Mostly clear light gold, little foam, pulled the slice of orange out..wish that they asked me before the stuck it on the glass.

Smells like a Wit with the appropriate spices, orange zest, kinda earthy.

Cloves, coriander, orange zest tastes. Nice enough.

Medium body with medium carbonation.

Good.

a flavorful and summery orange wit, a well made beer and one of the better things i have had from madison river to date, perfect for this time of year, and very easy drinking. the orange tastes fresh and natural and is a fine compliment to the restrained belgian yeast profile, this is so bright and lively, it sort of instantly puts me in a good mood, makes me feel like summer vacation, relaxed and thirsty. clearish for the style with a light brassy color, aroma of fresh orange peel, white pepper, grains of paradise, floral belgian yeast. the orange peel is great in the flavor, in addition to being zesty and oily and natural and interesting, it also has some bitterness to help this finish, more crisp than others in this style and more flavorful all the way through too, not just yeast driven, its great balance and depth for one of these, and i like it a lot. carbonation is good, its off dry but quenching, and its got a bit of body from the wheat in the mash. i think they did a nice job with this one, a solid summer seasonal!

Golden yellow color that poured a good head, but dissipated within a couple minutes. Great citrus smell, but the Orange peel could have contributed to that. Great smooth taste, possibly my favorite Belgian.
