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.

4.47/5  rDev +7.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Presentation: Short 12oz. bottle with directions for pouring listed on the side. What better glass to serve this in than my "Allagash" glass 'stolen' from a local eatery's promo night.

Appearance: Hazy yellow in color. Very fizzy on the pour. Soapy and huge white head dies off to a thin layer that sticks all over the glass.

Smell: Talk about a complex aroma! My first thoughts were "Lemon-pepper". Spicy and zesty.

Taste: Initally, very creamy...chewy. Surprising, given the fizzy character noticed during the pour. Fruity notes take over, oranges being the most prominent. Very little bitterness. Finishes very clean on the palate, with just a touch of "powdery" coating of the lips. Excellent.

Mouthfeel: Medium body and pretty darn smooth on the palate.

Drinkability: I've found the latest summer beer, folks. Super easy to drink, with such a flavorful taste that really satisfies. The realative lack of any aftertaste really makes this a thirst-quencher. Bring on the Virginia summer!

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!
