Marshallville Wit
Tuckahoe Brewing Company

Can: Poured a hazy amber color ale with a medium size off-white head with light retention and no lacing. Aroma of grainy wheat malt is more or less pleasant. Taste is also a mix of grainy wheat malt with light residual sugar with some muddle spice notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Not very tasty and malt profile is too grainy to be interesting.

 

I had this one draught at the brewery. It pours a hazy straw color with a thin, ecru-colored head and lacing. It smells of wheat, orange peel, and coriander. The taste follows the nose to produce a really pleasant Wit. It's light, refreshing, and very easy to drink at 4.8% I would drink it again.

 

 

 

I am not anywhere near a beer expert nor would I be described as a "beer snob". I admit I have pretty basic taste when it comes to beer and that most craft beer is not made with a consumer like me in mind, however I enjoy experiencing different things and a beer festival is the best way to do it. This is also my first time on this website assigning a rating to a beer, and this is the beer that compelled me to sign up here to provide feedback.

I was recently at the Atlantic City Boardwalk Beer festival this weekend (6/13/15) and I did a good tour of most all the beers at the festival. This beer was closer to the beginning of my tastings (probably the 6 or 7 one in). I say the following with "Peace and Love":

This was the worst alcoholic beverage I have ever tasted in my life!

The other beer that Tuckahoe brought to the festival was pretty good, but the Marshallville Wit almost made me vomit from just the initial smell. The taste almost equals the smell in disappointment (I did finish the sample to be fair), but by far the smell was the worst thing about it. The aftertaste was not pleasant either and even days after if I think hard enough I have a flashback of the awful experience I had with this beer.

Now I'm sure there is a small audience for this beer as proven by another reviewer, however I just don't get the draw to this beer. I will now judge my beer festival experiences in two different times; Before this tasting and After experiencing this beer. This has calibrated my senses so I now have a definitive low on my scale. I know this sounds very harsh but I just had to say it.

More of a saison-y taste than Wit, if I closed my eyes I would have guessed I was enjoying a Goose Island Sofie.

Golden tan color, decent 2 inch cap of foam, smells lemon-y, with perhaps strawberrys and a wiff of good yeast.

Taste follows the nose, I'm a big fan of local South Jersey elixers, watch out Cape May Brewing, Tuckahoe might just eat your lunch.
Very enjoyable, at $11 a sixpack, solid value too, after trying a sixer I went back and bought a case, something this wandering beer hunter rarely indulges in.

Bravo Kudos Tuchahoe.
