Belgian White Nitro
Left Hand Brewing Company

A cloudy pale yellow with a a dense nitro head. It smells strongly wheaty with a hint of citrus and fruit. The taste centers mellowly on the wheat with some bitterness in the after taste. Perhaps the cost of the smoothness of the nitro is the lessened flavor and taste the begins to be watery. Overall the feel and lack of "bad" taste makes it very drinkable.

From a Left Hand Nitro mixed 6-pack picked up at Albertsons in Missoula, MT
13.65oz nitro can poured into a Samuel Smith imperial pint glass

P pale gold w/ a slight haze and an anemic white cap
N soft-med spice backed by light orange; some aromatic floral character as well; pleasant
T leads into a mellow profile of crackery/biscuity malt followed by light orange notes; finishes with light-med coriander; muted and seemingly watered-down, but serviceable
Mf med-full bodied, yet watery; soft nitro bubbles
O underwhelming, but has a drinkability factor I dig; the glass emptied quickly

I’ve always been a fan of a good Belgian white with orange peel, so I decided to give this one a try for a crisp, light beer in July.

My first impression was that it had gone flat. I popped the cap and heard a slight fizzle, but then saw large bubbles just sitting in the neck with not much activity in the bottle. I was concerned, especially since it’s a nitro. I had bought it as a single, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It seemed flat, but it didn’t smell or taste expired. Luckily, I found some reviews on Beer Advocate that recommended pouring it hard into a glass.

That made a big difference. There was a nice head and more visible activity. It smells great and actually tastes really good, once you get past the silky smooth texture (technically exactly the way it was designed) that’s easily mistaken for flatness.

Disappointing. Smells very yeasty, but in a rancid way. Cloudy, which is normal. Has that raw yeast flavor with a hint of coriander. Has a thin, watery mouthfeel. A little bland. Overall not great

 

 

A thanks to the founder of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 13.65 oz. nitro can. Smell is very mild, a hint of wheat. Taste is also mild, wheat, a touch of spice. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall this is a mediocre beer.

 

L: Pale yellow, transparent filtered, thick white nitro head that stayed around the entire experience

S: Light grassy herbal, some hint of clove/spice

T: Orange, nothing extreme, Blue Moon-ish

F: Really odd for this style. Smooth nitro thing, but thin.

O: Kinda weird to have nitro. My brain just thinks I'm drinking a flat beer honestly. Would've preferred they went harder on the bready yeasty notes, maybe unfiltered would help. I'd drink it again but I won't seek it out.

 

 

Slightly hazy light straw yellow color with a respectable but short lived creamy white head and some bits of lacing.
The aroma is cloves , coriander and Belgian yeast.
The taste is mild cloves, coriander, Belgian yeast and light caramel. For some reason, the nitro seems to soften and mellow out the typical wit flavors.
The body is light, velvety smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a bit odd for the style, milder in flavor, almost ridiculously smooth, but still enjoyable, it goes very well with most foods, especially lighter fare, interesting.
