This is a good Belgian White. Good price for what you get.

A- Just like a white should be. Just a bit hazy but more on that...
S-Really good, smells a bit sweet-grass like
T-I expected more piney but my bottle might have been too old to get pine hop notes. This is a sweet beer but that was expected.
M-Highly carbinated so good for me but might not be good, poor it slowly or it will foam up, again, might be an older bottle.
O-I like a hopped up Belgian White so right up my alley. This one is almost like a homebrew that was retailed. It had a huge amount of settlement and yeast at the bottom so pour it in a glass. I like a raw beer.
Kudos to Crown Valley, I'll have to try some more of your offerings. Small brewer that I expect is still evolving their style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: pours a slightly hazy yellow-gold with three fingers of white head that fades into a thin cap with good lacing.

S: Belgian candy sugar up front with some light spice notes followed by floral lavender and sweet, citrusy hops.

T: Belgian spices and candy sugar here followed by piney hops, a tough of citrus, and a slightly yeasty finish.

M: Medium body with mid-high carbonation, this beer is nicely drinkable.

O: A good beer, overall, with a nice balance of Belgian and hoppy characteristics.

 

 

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Cloudy gold, yellow & orange with a big, white foamy head. Sticky lacing hugs the glass the entire brew.

Fresh bread on the nose, coriander, oranges, lemon follow.

Sourdough creaminess hits my tongue first, then an over abundance of carbonation follows. The coriander comes back, citrus, a touch of root beer and cloves play in my mouth. The finish is quick and clean with a hint of white pepper. A nice warmth settles on my throat.

This is a really good white IPA, nicely balanced with a creamy rich center. The finish is extremely refreshing.

I do have one problem with it...the carbonation is out of control! I had this 2 days ago on tap at the Crown brewery and must say it was a true treat...almost perfect. So I picked up a few sixes...when checking out the barkeep told me the the bottles were over carbonated and to be extra careful when opening...it didn't help, the bottles are a mess. When and if they fix that problem I believe this to be an award winner...until then...draft only!
