Shebeen Brewing Company "Great White"
16 fl. oz. can without production codes or freshness dating
$3.99 @ Total Wine & More, Cherry Hill, NJ
Notes via stream of consciousness: I really have to stop buying beers that don't have any coding or freshness dating on them. Not that there's anything wrong with this beer, I haven't even opened it yet, but any brewery that's shipping their beer across state lines (unless they're right on the line) has the money to buy an ink jet printer. Rant aside, it's poured a hazy yellow gold body beneath a finger thick head of bright white foam and I can see tiny bubbles rising steadily upwards in streams. The aroma is a little odd. Is this supposed to be a kind of Belgian-style witbier IPA? Didn't they already do that? What was the Shaun White beer they did? Ahh, yes, the label reads "NEW ENGLAND STYLE INDIA PALE ALE BREWED WITH LEMON & CORIANDER". OK, my bad. Both the coriander and lemon are clear, but together they give it a kind of cleaning product aroma. It's not bad, it's just unusual. The malt is present as well and it's lightly sweet and wheaty. On to the taste... the lemon is quite bright, and backed by the sweetish and wheaty malt. The coriander adds a certain amount of woodiness and spice, and it's nicely balanced by a moderate to median bitterness (keep in mind that the lemon itself adds some bitterness). It finishes dry and spicy with some residual lemon lingering. I'm kind of at a loss on this one. If it had been brewed with Belgian yeast it would probably be quite good, but it's not. That leaves the lemon as the main note, backed by the malt and coriander, and some grassiness and spiciness as well. It's pretty much one-sided. If there were additional hops I'd say great, but really what we have here is a kind of Imperial witbier that's been done with lemon instead of orange and clean American yeast. It's an aberration, which is cool because I'm always up for experimentation, but it falls flat here. It has lemon but it lacks fruitiness and it just seems dull and boring. Dry hopping this with even a pound per barrel of Mosaic, Amarillo, Azacca, El Dorado, or Citra would really bring it to life, but no, what we're left with is just an aberration; it's only half-formed. In the mouth it's medium-light in body and gently crisp. The head has held up exceptionally well, and it's left some remarkable swirls of lace all about the glass. There's great potential here but it'll cost them a little bit of money in hops to make it great.
