This beer, inspired by the flavors of Southeast Asian cuisine, is a twist on the classic Belgian witbier style. Instead of the traditional coriander and orange peel spicing regimen, we add fresh lemongrass, ginger root, and a dash of Sorachi Ace hops. The result is a wonderfully refreshing ale with notes of lemon candy, citrus fruit, and a slight spiciness from the ginger. Best served at 45˚F in a tulip or wine glass.

A: Poured from the 12oz can into a pint glass. The beer is a cloudy hay-golden color topped with a 2 finger white head that dissipates quickly.
S: Banana bread and clove as expected, along with a bit of lemon and spice. Didnt get ginger but the smell is nice and bright.
T: Ginger makes an appearance right up front, then lemon and spice. Bready midpalate with banana and bubblegum. Finish has a slightly yeasty kick with honey and clove. Very carbonated but light.
Overall a pretty easy-drinking beer that would go well with lots of different foods. The unique aspefts of the beer werent as noticeable as I expected, but the beer itself is a good representative of the style.

Hazy, golden color. Big, white head. Aroma of wheat malt, lemongrass, spices, and a hint of yeast. Malty taste with citrus and herbal notes, balanced by nice, hoppy bitterness at the end. Interesting version of witbier.

I felt that the beer had a very smooth character, coupled with some notes of herbs and light ale. It has medium to low carbonation, and a lovely light flavor. One of the better beers i've enjoyed. I drank it from a can (like a beast) and found it incredibly easy to drink. For such a light beer I loved the wheaty tones and felt they complimented perfectly to the indian inspired herbal notes. I got flavors of ginger, lemongrass and a slight bready alcohol finish.

First and foremost, your main man is not a fan of Witbiers. That being said, I can spot quality a mile away like watching Teddy Ball Game hit balls off a tee at the age of 6. And here, we don’t have a Teddy Ball Game Beer. Se have one of those random black and white pictures on Baseball Reference of some dude from the 1890’s that played ball for a few years, but retired to be a farmer to make more money.
Peace.
