Mothership Wit
New Belgium Brewing Company

 

 

Look: It pours yellow with a hazy clarity. It has a white head with excellent head retention.

Smell: It has aromas of spices with coriander. There are some citrus and orange notes with some doughy wheat.

Taste: It has spicy flavors with coriander, orange and citrus. There is a flowery like element in the background.

Feel: It has a medium light body with a somewhat zesty sharp finish.

Overall, there are some decent flavors but the way they work together is unbalanced.

Mothership Wit pours a hazy, bright yellow color, with a very small, lacing head. Aroma is lighter, but nice orange and spice notes. Flavor is lighter, but not watery. Great mellow sweet spices, with some hints of orange. Good body and feel. Overall, a very tasty, nice easy drinking wit.

Before voodoo ranger took over their marketing, new belgium had some good beers, this was one above average, complex, light and great art.

Poured into a tall clear pint glass. Hazy golden color, about a finger's worth of head with decent retention and good lacing.

Complex aroma. Wheat, spices, cloves, coriander, Belgian yeast, lemon, biscuit malt, dried orange, white pepper, and banana.

Wheaty and sweet, tasting citrus like orange and tangerines. Also tasting lemon and pear. The spices take a lighter note than what the aroma would suggest, but altogether one can taste the notes mentioned in the aroma for a lovely balanced wheat beer. Peppery, wheaty, citrusy, yeasty, and has those nice spices. Body is medium-light.

That's a pretty good witbier. It's no Alagash brewing but it's good. A little.citrus and a little spice makes this one perfect for a relaxing evening. Could have a bit more body as this is a little thin.

 

 

Now this I can get into...

Brilliantly yellow, hazy, and with a thin foam. The smell is very wheaty with a light and distance scent of cardamon. Mouthfeel is highly carbonated, astringent, with a taste that is mild when it comes the wheat and spices. Overall, its a decent beer, and very good as a sessionable on those hot FL days (or nights.)

 

Poured a 12oz can dated 06 DEC 2020, from a mix pack to a Nonic.
Light hazy yellow body below a 1/4" head.
Lemony smell with distinctive Belgian yeast.
Taste is light and refreshing. Some light spice but not identifiable by me.
Mouthfeel is thin, but that's kind of asset for this beer.
Not bad for a style I don't usually seek.

From the current mixed 12pk. BB date Nov 8 2020. Let warm for 8-10 minutes.

Hazy medium yellow, with moderate white head.

Smell is lemon candy, a little biscuity malt, slight yeast, dried orange, and slight black pepper/coriander spiciness.
A little pear & sweet apple as it warms.

Taste is pear, some vague citrus, bread crust, with slight spiciness and bitterness in the later stages.
and lingers past finish.

Feel is light-medium, initially a little juicy, until some very, very fine carbonation tingle comes in.

Not a "wow" beer, nor likely to make any listicles, but smooth, easy-drinking, and an enjoyable experience. This one is nearly gone, and I barely noticed. Another would be welcomed. :)

Bottom of can is stamped 08 November 2020
Consumed: 8/17/2020

Sparkling white tea body with a fluffy finger-n-a-half head. Not much to pull from the nose: wheat and a little peach. Apricot maybe? It's all very light. Taste follows; light fruit notes with none of the clove that usually comes with the style. There's really not a whole lot here, but it's pleasant enough and very chuggable so I can't hate it. Just don't expect me to buy it again.

Overall not that great. First impression was that it was a little off tasting like its old, but it isn't. Doesn't really improve the more you drink.

12oz stamped with a date. This date is in the future

Hazy, light, kinda-barely see-thru. Smells like powdery yeast and drinks like budweiser grain.

It's a far cry from the New Belgium wits of past. Or maybe it isn't, and I'm the one who's changed. Who cares, I'm drinking this beer and kinda regretting it

Poured from a 12oz bottle: Poured a light, near transparent straw color with a slight fingerand a foamy white colored head about a finger. Not sure if this particular bottle, or if it was my taste buds; The aroma was minimal, but there were light hints of lemon and coriander. And the taste wad the same. Overall, it was smooth and refreshing, had a nice appearance, nice mouthfeel, and good buzz at 4.8% Abv. But to me it just lacked taste, and had more of a beer taste. However, I will try this one again and give it another shot.

 

I’m not a big fan of wits but I like this one a lot because it’s mild in flavor and is very refreshing.

 

 

Kind of a BS impersonation of the old beer, not organic anymore and missing the heavy banana and clove notes.

 

Bottled in 2015 and poured from fridge temp. Pours a transparent yellow with strong carbonation. White head. Nose is wheat, lemon, spice, pine. Taste is a bit of menthol, lemon, wheat, grass, leather, and pine. Not at all bad for being aged for almost 4 years.
