Subtle soft-tongued sunny-hazed light-bodied Belgian witbier retains well-rounded profile. Bread-y wheat-oats bed cushions perfume-hopped lemon-fizzed white peach, yellow grape, and green banana fruiting and white-peppered coriander-clove-ginger spicing. Chalky lavender and limestone illusions may be off-putting to some, but mellow white Sangria finish proves indelible.

As long as these inviting spice-racked winter seasonals keep evolving, separate entries will be apropos. Lilting hazy golden ’08 version flings vanilla-sweetened coriander-anise spicing against plum-blueberry souring and orange-lemon peel bittering. Mild rose hip, dandelion, and jasmine traces lace soft peppery hop fizz.

Glutinous hazy golden brown ‘wheat ale brewed with spices’ takes unlikely stylistic route, forgoing rudiment banana-clove-coriander expectancy for boozy malt-driven tropical-fruited 10% alcohol elixir. Bright hop-spiced peach-nectarine-pineapple tang picks up bittersweet cherry-pureed bruised orange viscosity and mint-y tinge as whiskey-tinted caramel creaminess thickens.

While pouring former Blanche des Honnelles, heavy carbolic fizz overflows sour yeast eminence. Cloudy rust-hued full body submits aromatic citrus tang to spicy floral hops and herbal mint tinge in fine tradition of white wine-y Belgian ales.

Yeast sinew clouds this otherwise clear-hued wheat-fortified ‘interpretation’ of light Belgian-styled witbier. Floral-hopped coriander-clove-chamomile-peppermint tingle and tangy lemony tangerine juicing absorb delicious malt beverage appeal. Tempting for open-minded drinkers or fans of Hoegaarden White Beer.

Summery light-bodied cloudy golden Belgian-styled wheat ale brings easygoing ‘orange-lemon-lime peeled’ tartness to daintily coriander-spiced sour-candied malts. Its watered-down fizzy-hopped orange soda flow softens the backend. On tap, cloy sugar-candied finish prompted 7-Up comparisons when herbaceous notion flittered away.

Skinny 8-ounce bottle featuring sexy fluorescent green girl silhouette contains snippy hop-bitten framboise-styled white beer. Raspberry frontage picks up sticky lemonade tartness, cherry-kiwi-mango-grapefruit medley, and cranberry pucker aloft corn syrupy fructose wane. Sour candied finish gains musty dry floral funk.

Sumptuous dry-bodied white ale benefits from up-front orange tang, apricot splurge, and yellow grape esters. Milky sinew hovers near cavernous puffy ivory head, leaving clumps of lace along glass. Arising Belgian-styled tendencies include herbal spicing, flower bud nosing, and slight oak aged tease.

Soured grapefruit-peach merger lightens as dry hop protrusion rises. Grassy wheat retreat picks up banana, clove and bubblegum notes by faded finish.

Tags:

Pale-hued foamy-headed Belgian with barley-wheat essence, fresh citrus aroma, and sour yellow-fruited tartness leading to white wine sweetness. Hop bitterness never overwhelms pleasant daisy-dandelion hint at buttery finish. Soft soda-like fizz gives it crossover appeal for lightweights.

Audibly fizzy sedation offers unusual whitish yellow hue, wispy banana retention, spritzy hop dryness, and frisky pineapple-apricot-lemon-grapefruit tang. But intrusive carbonation deadens coriander-spiced curacao orange influence.

Rating: 3

Tags:

Dry, light-bodied, mildly pale-hazed Belgian-style white beer retains lively peppery hop spritz, unripe banana periphery, sedate coriander-clove hub, and orange rind-pineapple tinge as constrained wheat husk fortifies club soda finish. Herbal-floral backup diminishes too quickly. Serve with lemon wedge.
