tap at the brewery

Light fizzy head fades with decent lacing, murky blond yellow color

Nose fruity, tart lemony, little orange more Clementine or tart orange, little farmhouse funk and saison spices, straw malt wheat, toasted, little grassy hop

Taste mild sweet malt, bread dough wheat, creamy wheat, toasted notes, touch floral grassy hop, tart lemony and orange but again like a tart Clementine, juicy little bitter rind, bright citrus

Mouth is lighter bod, decent fluffy carb, little acidity

Overall not bad, nice creamy wheat with tart slight lemony and tart Clementine, enjoyable summer beer

Picked up a four pack of this at Julio's.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice hazy straw hue with a one finger white head that fades rather quickly to leave a thin wispy blanket and light halo.

S - Aromas of very light orange zest, solid floral and grassy hops. As it warms up the orange becomes more prominent, oil orange peel. Pleasant.

T - Taste is more like the nose, very good oranges with nice light hops. There is a fair amount of crackery malts that kind of get in the way of the pleasant sourness this series has had up until this point. The finish is also bitter citrus peel, as opposed to bright tartness.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, crisp, little sharp.

O - Overall I was not a huge fan of this one. Looked pretty darn good description wise but for me the orange clashes with the usual already light sour notes as does the crackery malts.

Serving Type: Can

 

Bright yellow in color. Hazy in appearance. Hmmmm. Super bland and flavorless! Maybe a hint of orange zest. A tad floral. No tartness. Cracker malt profile. Very little carb. Lighter bodied. Some bitterness on the back end.
