Belgina WIT
Wrecking Bar Brewpub

 

This tasty wit comes out of the tap a hazy solar yellow with an average white head. Wheaty, lemony sweet aroma is pleasant and appealing. Wheaty flavor has an undertone of lemon and is a little sweet. Texture is smooth and subtly fizzy. Perfect for summer!

On-tap at the brewpub.

Pours an opaque lemon-yellow color with a white head that leaves light lacing.

Smells of light malts with slight amounts of wheat and heavier amounts of bright orange and lemon rind. Also present are light spices and lighter bready aromas.

Tastes similar to how it smells. Crisp light malts up front are joined quickly by robust light citrus flavors. Midway through hints of spices and bready flavors come into play before earthy hops work their way into things and carry through to a crisp ending. Mouthfeel is good, with smooth carbonation.

Overall I enjoyed this beer and found it very easy to drink, despite the fact that no one facet stood out as well above average. A solid beer and a good choice for the hot weather currently abounding.

16 ounce pint - $4.75 at the Wrecking Bar Brewpub in Atlanta, Georgia.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy, pale yellow, milk-dosed body with a slim, white head.

Smell: A pinch of finely ground coriander pursued by a light scent of wheat, then a bit of orange peel and a slight, sly herbal undertone.

Taste: Subtly sweet soft white wheat and malted barley with a small dash of half-n-half. A light, gentle touch of lemon follows, then, some coriander spiciness, also light, and a few drops of Simply Orange brand orange juice. Any hop bitterness remains quite low. Tenderly drying and with a hint more wheat on the finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-light carbonation, though it's got a bit of tingle to it.

Overall: Belgina WIT is a pleasant wit that hits all the right notes.
