For this award-winning witbier, we use coriander and orange peel instead of straight hops to impart a unique citrus spice over a slightly sour body. The technique stretches all the way back to Medieval time, and the orange and coriander gruit has become the standard identifier for a Belgian White.

Rock Bottom's award-winning White Ale is handcrafted on-site by each restaurant's expert brewmaster to his or her exacting tolerance and preference.

On tap. Poured a light gold color with a one finger, white head of bubbly foam. It smelled of coriander, lemon zest and some yeastiness. It tasted of lemon, wheat and spices.

A refreshing beer with a nice balance of funk and malty sweetness.

I always get this in 64oz. growlers at the King of Prussia location. It pours a hazy and cloudy straw color. It has a lighter carbonation to it which really brings out the wheat flavor. It is unfiltered goodness that is always fresh to the taste and has a clean finish. I love the small on site brews, always fresh and of high quality!

Large draft bought at the Minneapolis airport near gate C1.

A - very pale. Not a lot of head . Very hazy body.

N - smells all right. Light wheat and coriander mostly. Barely there orange .

T - follows the nose, wherever it goes.

M - kind of chewy. Decent carbonation level.

O - not too shabby for 10:30 AM at an airport. Cheers!
