New Trail Brewing Co. "White Ale"
12 fl. oz. can without production codes or freshness dating
$2.33 @ Wegman's, King of Prussia, PA
Notes via stream of consciousness: It's poured a lightly hazy straw-gold body beneath a finger's width of white foam. The aroma displays a spicy woodines from ground coriander seed, some soft grassiness, a moderate amount of sweetish and grainy malt, and some non-specific citrus. The flavor is fuller with more of everything. The ground coriander is right upfront wrapped in sweet malt with each one balancing the other. Some phenols from the Belgian yeast are present and bright with notes that are clove-like, somewhat medicinal, and even “BAND-AID” like. They're balanced against the sweetness of the malt, and enhance the spicy woodiness of the coirander. That carries through to mid-palate where the orange peel rises, bringing it to completion and rounding it out and balancing it nicely. Let's not forget the bitterness though. There's not a lot there but there's enough to help it dry in the finish along with the spicy phenolics and coriander. A dollop of sweet malt and orange peel lingers shortly and fades, allowing the spiciness, woodiness, and some earthiness to take the stage before they ultimately drop and the bitterness hits its highest point. You're then dried and refreshed and ready for another sip. It's really well put together in that regard; superbly balanced. In the mouth it's medium-light in body and gently crisp-then-smooth with a moderate, seeingly natural fine-bubbled carbonation. The head didn't hold up so well, and that's at least due in part to the softer carbonation but that's a fair trade-off in a somewhat spicy beer where additional carbonic adic would enhance its spiciness. The lacing was better than the head retention which is nice. All in all this is a great Belgian-style witbier that really is world class, it's right up there with the best of them, and even better than some of them.
