Slippery When Wit
South Street Brewery

From the can, it pours a lovely hazy light yellow with a large white head. In the nose, Possibly some orange and bread in the nose. In the mouth, it is light, slightly acid and a bit of orange. Nice!

Hazy yellow with short cap of white head. Sweatsock aroma is not to enticing but the flavor is much better with a burst of tart with slight saline and Pilsner malt. I don’t get much coriander but there is a decent orange citrus component. High carbonation and light feel. Decent beer but a bit subdued and this a bit muddled.

A: A very pale yellow in color Slightly hazy with lots of particles, and w thin white head.

S: Wheat, and bread aroma with a lot of orange aroma, and a hint of something funky.

T: Nice crisp tartness with lots of orange flavor, and some light acidity in the finish as well as something else I can't quite put my finger on.

M: Light body with moderate to high carbonation, a dry finish with a tart cling.

O: Overall tasty. Tart, crisp, and easy drinking, but something I don't love in the finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interesting little beer from South Street. They classify it as a gose/wit hybrid though I agree with classifying it as a witbier. Pleasant slight orange notes when drinking, though the body is a little lacking. Just a touch of sourness to it, nothing overwhelming which would make it a nice introduction to sour beers.

Overall a nice mixup for summer beers. Not going to be a regular in my rotation but will probably buy a six pack or two over the summer to change things around from the usuals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HEHEHE YOU GOT GOSE IN- I'll promptly stop with the played-out joke, and immediately say that a gose spiced like a wit really intrigues me. Judging from the aroma, it seems more like a slightly soured wit. Orange peel seems to be the dominant character. Twinges of lacto also show up, along with some lemon and wheat. This is pretty simplistic, as is the flavor profile seemingly. Orange peel really hits hard up front, while lemony wheat notes finish it off. As someone used to balls-out lacto attacks (hi, Old Pro!), the soured portion of this brew seems restrained - having said that, the finish has a vague salinity I enjoy. The feel is light, albeit a bit too slimy on the back end. Not particularly interesting, not something I'd seek out, but I'd gladly drink this one for free, even pound it.

2.98/5: Nothing to get excited about, but it works as a summertime pounder
