Underwhelming yellow-paled “Vintage Age” witbier hybrid offers Sauvignon Blanc enhancement to smoothly buttered light-bodied fluff. Musty white grape tannins breach subtle white wining as floral hyacinth, lotus and hibiscus reminders fall away too quickly. Aromatic cider undertones stationed below Chardonnay and pinot grigios hints proliferate to sourdough underbelly.

Mild gold-hazed Belgian-styled witbier stays sweeter than previous versions. Honeyed citrus entry places floral peach-apricot-tangerine tang and zesty lemon-squeezed sourness above astringent peppery hop fizz. Doughy white breaded backdrop soaks up pallid plum-dried orange-peeled bittering plus tertiary hibiscus, rose hips, and vanilla illusions. It’s quite approachable for lighter thirsts.

Summery moderate-bodied ecru-clouded Belgian-styled white ale accrues sharp-spiced lemongrass-coriander-cardamom peppering above floral-hopped citric pleasantry. Tangy lemon zest and tart mandarin orange gain affluence but light white-breaded spine falters.

On tap, well-rounded golden-clouded Belgian-styled white ale rallies behind luscious candi-sugared banana-clove frontage and heady 9.5% alcohol whir. Creamy vanilla-butterscotch midst further sweetens ripe fruited sassafras as tangy lemon-aided apple, peach and orange illusions counter white-peppered hop spicing.

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.

Updated and bettered 2010 Imperial White recipe of glutinous golden-browned ‘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-brandied, nectarine-pineapple tang picks up bittersweet cherry-pureed bruised orange viscosity and minty tingle as whiskey-tinted caramel creaminess thickens.

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

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 golden-clouded 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 astringent raspberry-strawberry-soured 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, mid-range apricot splurge, and distant yellow grape esters. Milky sinew hovers near cavernous puffy ivory head, leaving clumps of lace along glass. Arising Belgian-styled tendencies include oaken herbal spicing and flower bud nosing.
