A mostly cloudy body is capped with a light, fluffy head that reveals soft notes of citrus and spices. Whether you prefer partly sunny or mostly cloudy, this brew will happily keep your glass half full.
Mostly Cloudy is modeled after the original Belgian Witbiers brewed in monasteries during the 14th Century. We’ve refined the recipe of our Belgian White, given the packaging a new look and released it under the new name, Mostly Cloudy—although it pairs equally well with sunrays and cloudy days.

12oz bottle in a pint glass.
Clouded light straw color, just about a 2F white cap that fades to a thin film and leaves modest spot lacing.
Spiced lemon wheat and good old "beer malt".
More citrus than anything else; lemon and a bit of orange. Chalky yeast.
Light and bright with a bit of yeast jazz and spiced citrus tang.
A well balanced summer brew.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass. The appearance was a soft hazy golden yellow color with a one finger white foamy to bubbly head that quickly dissipated leaving barely any lacing. The smell started off with an ample amount of yeasty/breadiness that retreated a bit as it warmed and allowed a nice citrus sweet to slightly bitter citrus rind. The taste was semi-sweet through the yeasty/breadiness and combines a bit more with the citrus sweet part and the citrus rind part. Bitterness makes a good effort to balance but stays slightly under to roll into a slightly gentle sweet citrus aftertaste. There’s no finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation feels right for a witbier - shows some harshness but nothing overly done. Overall, its a pretty good witbier that I could have again, and wouldn’t mind having with food.

Served in a flute.
Appearance: Cloudy gold wbracelet to a white head rising maybe half a finger's length. Drops quick with zero lacing.
Smell: bland hops. No bueno at the very best.
Taste: Little sour, lightly malty. I'm trying to like this beer but it's a little tough.
Mouth: Comes and goes with a medium carbonation.
Overall: Ehh, I have had way better...came in a sampler which I could always hand off to my buddies which is the best purpose for the brew. No disrespect for Long trail, I love a lot of their beers but this did nothing for me. Salud!

A sad example of a Witbier. After a good pour into my Weissen glass the huge head literally disappeared in 6 seconds leaving me with a glass of what looked like a urine sample.
Taste was that of a watered down real Witbier with a slightly bitter after taste that just doesn't fit the style. Smell was...well you really had to sniff very hard...unexceptional.
All in all a poor representation of the style. Maybe that's why I paid 5 bucks for a six pack.
