What do brewmasters do in their free time? If you're Phil Markowski, the obsessive brewmaster of Southampton, you brew at home, of course! Phil turned his fascination with Belgian-style White ales into a quest to master one of the most challenging beers to brew. Using rustic ingredients like un-malted wheat, Phil experimented over his stove until he felt it was perfect. Take one taste and you'll agree, Phil got it "white."

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: Hazy, light golden with a thin white head. Head retention is somewhat poor.

S: Coriander, wheat malt, spice and an herbal note dominate. The spice is mostly pepper. Some low orange and lemon aromas.

T: moderately-strong orange, lemon, pepper and coriander dominate the flavor. The esters and phenols are very apparent in the flavor, no mistaking that Belgian yeast was used here. A moderate bitterness with a balance that is slightly bitter despite having some malt sweetness mid-taste. A dry finish with an aftertaste of coriander and bitterness with light floral earthy notes.

M: Medium bodied with moderately-high carbonation. Moderate creaminess and a little warmth in the back of the throat.

O: An impressive beer with a nice bitterness.

(12 oz bottle, no bottle code or dating, purchased cold... poured into an Innis & Gunn fluted goblet)

L: curiously very-clear, yellow-amber liquid; tall, rather loose crackly-sudsy head... does have a mild haze... initial head prevented full pour, but last 1-2 oz carries a big messy load of speckled, swirly sediment

S: big whiff of what seems like lightly-toasted coriander seed; floral, grassy; wheat malt seems to poke through a good bit as well... coriander overtone dominant even after sediment added; lemon peel maybe next most apparent

T: lots spicy, pungent coriander up front, big malty middle, spicy/oily citrus peel looming large in the aftertaste - bold flavors all around... subsequent sips reveal the underlying malt and yeast to be merely a carrying mechanism for the 3-D coriander swarm - it's like you're chewing on fresh seeds, its definition is brilliant

F: light-bodied, but packed with dense fluff... blanket soft and rather dry, with the spice and alcohol combining to ignite some enlivening warmth at the back of the jaw... spice tickles the backs of the nostrils... could use a lil more bounce to its body

O: haven't had this in awhile, initially trying it more than a decade ago, but it feels like its taste hasn't changed, which is great... do NOT like the new label, however, and it's a wonder I was able to quickly identify the beer while scanning the fridges at the bottle shop - rebranding gone wrong
