Our interpretation of a traditional Belgian wheat beer. Brewed with a generous portion of wheat and spiced with coriander and Curacao orange peel, this beer is fruity, refreshing and slightly cloudy in appearance.

A- Pours a cloudy pale gold. Typical for this style

S- You can DEFINITELY smell the citrus notes in this. Reminds me of a spiced citrus fruitcake my parents use to make.

T- Gotta be honest, there's not a whole lot going on here. I felt like all the flavor was up front the second the beer touched my tongue and very little after that. Aftertaste was very faint (Factors into the very high drinkability rating)

M- Feels absolutely wonderful... for about 2 seconds. Expertly carbonated and keenly balanced. I have a feeling the faint aftertaste may just be one of the poorer qualities attributed to the style.

D- This is by far the most drinkable beer I've ever tasted. The taste is delicious and the faintness in the aftertaste almost just leaves you wanting more. Seems like the perfect beer to drink on a hot day. I actually once thought that while the mass produced beers failed in every other category, they had drinkability down to an art. This beer has changed everything about that belief.

12 oz bottle pkgd 12/11/23 into a nonic glass.
L: SRM 1 Pours a white hued yeasty straw pear color with a rocky & fluffy 1/2" bright white head that has excellent retention, fine steady carbo bubbles, very good thick lacing with large rhythmic banding lines and some backside sheeting.
S: Banana, wheat, yeast, light spice, white grape, very distant new leather.
T: Banana, pear, light clove, gentle sweet malts, lemon zest, a touch of powdered sugar, distant apple, wheat, yeast.
F: Gently brisk lightly bodied plush mouthfeel with a semi-juicy middle and a smooth lightly drying finish.
O: This beer drinks like a fluffy cloud with an amazingly soft mouthfeel. Lovely fruity aroma and succulent taste. Very refreshing and similar to Belgian-made beers. I would buy this again. It is outstanding in its style.

Great Belgian White for a domestic and ABV is not high but well restrained.

12 ounce bottle, thanks to Brutaltruth for this! Served in a Teku, the beer pours a slightly hazy pale gold color with about an inch frothy white head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like coriander, orange peel, wheat/grainy malt and some bubblegum. Taste is pretty much just like the aroma, but with the addition of some banana. No one flavor overpowers the others. Mouthfeel/body is light, it's smooth and has a good amount of soft zippy carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink! Thought this was a good overall brew, definitely worth trying!
