Advent Beers - Belgian Wit Ale
Minhas Craft Brewery

 

 

Clear light amber color with a moderate but short lives white head.
The aroma is mild wheat with maybe just a hint of citrus.
The taste is also very mild wheat and spiciness, just a touch of sourness, but generally pleasant. The body is light/medium, mild carbonation, drinkable.
Altogether, this is a pleasant but kind of nondescript brew, nothing offensive, easy to drink but not quite Belgian Wit.

Poured from a 12oz can.

On the pour, 1 finger of white head formed on top of an uncharacteristically clear and dark brass body. Not the best head retention out of this pack.

Aroma is just straight back to the minhas savory smell. with a sourish note as well. Maybe I'm picking up some orange in the back?

Taste is better than the aroma would indicate. Still the funk is right up front. What this beer does better than the rest of the advent beers, is that I can actually taste grain, in the form of wheat this time. This one isn't syrupy sweet either. The sourness is still there though.

Average feel out of the pack. Not quite drinkable realistically though. A bit dense in the mouth for the style which actually conflicts the flavors. Not dry enough at all.

Overall, this is another minhas beer. I feel like I'm beginning to understand the flavors coming out of these beers and maybe I'm acclimating? But still this is another mediocre attempt at "craft". If you like Blue Moon, this is nothing like it.

 

12 oz can served in a Belgian snifter.

The clear golden body has good clarity and a fine looking white head, however the head recedes too quickly.

Clean but mild flavor for the style. Notes of spicy yeast and wheat are in good balance. The mouthfeel is smooth but a touch watery.

This one is alright! It's refreshing and has orange undertones. It can feel a bit watery though. Not very carbonated, had during pour but not much afterwards. Copper color.
