ESTRELLA DAMM INEDITMeek pale golden light-bodied witbier in green-tinted wine bottle lacks up-front doughy insistence and proper fruitiness. Fizzy-hopped Seltzer-like citric undertones waver below wet-papered sorghum flouring. Washed-out lemon candied tartness and unripe peach subsidy get acidic while under-whelming orange peel, coriander, and licorice illusions prove negligible.

RIVER HORSE DOUBLE WITInstantly likable golden-hazed crystal-malted Belgian-styled witbier maintains fruit-spiced integrity. Coriander-clove spicing engages lemon zest, mandarin orange, tangerine, apricot, papaya, and pineapple illusions countering peppery-hopped orange peel bittering. Subsidiary whiskey-soured white wine tenacity overrides banana bubblegum undertones to doughy white-breaded wheat spine.

LAGUNITAS 2009 CORRECTION ALE‘60s hippie-cultured ‘We’re all bozos on the bus’ snicker and ‘this is not a Double IPA’ disclaimer aside, this recession-proof pale ale wont’ scare away budgeted hopheads. Bright floral-fruited frontage receives piney-hopped grapefruit-peeled bittering. Tangy peach, apple, and tangerine illusions enjoined by tropical pineapple-mango seduction to rye-dried cracked wheat spine.

WOLAVERS BEN GLEASON'S WHITE ALEAdvertised orange peel-coriander blend perfectly suits dry light-bodied hazy-yellowed Belgian-styled witbier. Sour lemon zest and herbaceous mint undercurrent rally above skeletal fizzy-hopped white-breaded wheat base. Funky fungi-like wildflower yeast reminder, reminiscent of farmhouse ale, infiltrates backend.

Palest straw-hazed pearly-headed moderate body (bottled by nearby High Point Brewery) is supposed ‘twisted Belgian-styled wheat beer.’ Soft yellow-fruited summer appeal buttressed by musty lemongrass souring overriding earthen grassy-hopped barnyard, horse-blanket, and hay acridity. Raw-honeyed lemon pith midst lightly embitters peppery floral murk succumbed by lackluster white-breaded wheat spine.

Blurry beige-hazed puffy white-headed fruit ale hides sweet ‘n sour cranberry motif beneath softly acidic limey brimstone tartness, lemon-candied cherry-apple souring, and orange-peeled cinnamon-coriander spicing. Herbal raw-honeyed twinge seeps into white-breaded wheat spine. Light red-fruited finish tails off a tad.

Elegant pale gold-hazed moderate-bodied unfiltered witbier with earthen wildflower-like Belgian yeast funk brings peppery herbal hop-spicing to cushy white-breaded wheat-floured bottom. Clove-spiced lemon-soured blueberry-cherry wisp fades to grapefruit-y orange-apricot-pineapple seduction. Baked apple nuance whisked away by tertiary lemongrass, coriander, and chamomile prompting.

Peculiarly refreshing yellow-hazed Belgian-styled witbier blends spices, herbs, and fruit nuances in silkily bizarre manner. Musty raw-honeyed banana souring grazes white-peppered spearmint-jasmine-ginger freshness and clove-coriander-chamomile-anise spicing, but advertised tropical fruiting is overrated. Quirky champagne-fizzed bruised apple, rotted apricot, white peach, and putrefied lemon illusions not as unpleasant as it sounds.
