Instantly 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.

‘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 won’t 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.

Advertised 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. Brewery defunct: 2016.

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.

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. Photo courtesy of www.halftimebeverage.com

Fragrant black and blueberry mouthfeel more pronounced than phenol-hopped cranberry souring. Metallic twang soaks up tart fruited candy influence to soapy blackberry finish. Needs thicker malt seepage and sturdier white-breaded spine. On second passing, ripe blackberry-raspberry fruiting had firmer honeyed wheat spine and grazing Mandarin orange, tangerine, and peach snip.

Garish straw-hazed pearly-headed Belgian-styled witbier ‘brewed with spices’ brackets gaudy citric spree with hard candy souring and refreshing coriander-abetted mint-eucalyptus reminder. Wafted lemon-banana esters ensconce serene wheat wafer wallow.

Fine moderate-bodied orange-clouded ‘white’ beer with tart lemon surge and shady spicing. Floral-hopped clove-coriander tingle usurps teasing pumpkin hint and top-fermented yeast subtlety, adding delicate complexity to slowly dissipating dry wheat finish of well-balanced winner.

Made from Belgian recipe, dry Scotch entry adorns alcohol-doused, hop-tingled mandarin orange tang and crisp seltzer fizz of moderate-bodied Romanian wit. Phenol finish disrupts wafting grapefruit-lemon esters.

Musty coriander-jasmine waft, blurred herbaceous accents and honeyed clove pinch nearly lost amongst sunny fruited vibe. Lemon-soured red grapefruit, green apple, mandarin orange, peach and banana glint latches onto concealed wheat portal. Just as lightweight politeness gets ponderous, doughy yeast subtlety and peppery hop zip enliven agile floral citric finish of off-dry sediment-dotted pale-hazed .
