The artwork on this can is amazing!

A beer that gets better with each sip.

It will creep up on you being 6.1% because it is really good and easy to just keep drinking.

It's a real Belgian wit w some orange fruit flavor and a little bite to it.

Another top beer from Rivertowne Brewing

$ 7.00 (Including tax)/six pack of 12 oz cans ($ 0.097/oz) from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA.
No definite date on can, stored at 42 degrees and served at 45 degrees in a hand-washed and hand-dried Jester King snifter.
Appearance – 3.
Body – Medium yellow, hazy with particulates dispersed throughout. These slooowly settle.
Head – Average (Maximum two cm, aggressive center pour), off-white, fizzy and low density, rapidly diminishing to no ring, no layer, and no lacing.
Lacing – None.
First pour – light yellow, clear.
Aroma – 4 - Lightly sweet and yeasty, hints of coriander.
Flavor – 4 - Begins slightly sweet with some coriander, orange, and yeast and just a touch of pepper (grains of paradise?). The malt backbone is also apparent. No alcohol, no hops, no diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 3 - Medium, almost creamy, soft carbonation.
Impression and summation – 3.75 – a decent take on a witbier, certainly better than Blue Moon or Shocktop but not quite the quality of Hoegaarden. The absolute lack of ring, layer, and lacing is disturbing. The palate is right on target and the aroma is better than the average witbier, IMHO. The noticeable presence of the malt and the slight peppery-ness lift the flavor above most of the witbiers that I have consumed.

Hazy gold with a slight orange tinge and a receeding white head. Nice look. Smells yeasty with slight spice. I'm not detecting the citric elements. This has an understated yeast and grassy flavor with some light spice on the finish. I like it but I'd like it better if it had more spice or bite. Sort of medium carbonation with medium mouthfeel. I bet this would be a good starter wit or Belgian for someone who doesn't like a lot of spice or bite to their beer.

Pours light hazy, light gold. Thick, medium white head that fades slowly to a rocky head with good lacing.

Smells yeast funk, orange peel, citrus, spice and light grassiness.

Tastes citrus, grassy, bready malt, clove, yeast funk and Orange peel. Finish is dry with citrus peel and spice linger. Medium body and smooth, lightly fizzy medium carbonation.

Appearance is a murky yellow with white head

Smell is malty with some fruit hints

Taste is typical wit beer..good fruit flavor with a wheat base

Feel is somewhat more dry than other wits

Overall a good beer that was part of a variety pack. Definitely drinkable which is surprising given the 6+ ABV

Rivertowne Grateful White has a thick, cream, off-white head, a murky, orange-gold appearance, which becomes murkier, after the "swish & pour", and lots of lacing, left behind, on the glass. The aroma is of sweet white wheat bread, some spice, and a touch of banana, and a touch of bubble gum. Taste is of yeasty, zingy, sweet, fruity white wheat bread, some mild, light crust, and white pepper. Mouthfeel is low-heavy, and Grateful White finishes medium white.
