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.

MADONNA WHEAT ALE
LOST COAST GREAT WHITE WITBIER
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 .

MIDDLE AGES SWALLOW WIT
BACK ROAD BELGIAN STYLE WITBIER
NEW BELGIUM MOTHERSHIP WIT
Lilting light-bodied straw-hazed Belgian-styled witbier retains delicate sweet-sour banana-coriander frontage, resilient orange peel bittering and fluttered sourdough backdrop. Softly peppered floral hops spice up Granny Smith apple, lemon meringue and curacao orange fruiting plus scurried chamomile, heather and lavender illusions.

(CARACOLE) TROUBLETTE ARTISANAL WHITE ALE
Subtle yellow-clouded white-headed witbier stays moderate-bodied and less explosively carbolic than most pale Belgians. Spunky candi-sugared malting, lemony peach-orange-apple tartness and white-peppered clove-coriander spicing soften corky barnyard-hay dryness to medicinal finish. A bit askew for its class, as wheat influence neutralized by pungent alcohol-stricken sharpness.
BRECKENRIDGE MOUNTAIN WHEAT
OMMEGANG WITTE
Fizzy white-headed, cloudy yellow-glowed medium body may lack true distinction, but likable lemony clove tartness, light orange-dried honeysuckle herbage and clean Seltzer spritz cannot be denied. Slim banana-coriander cadence gains vanilla-bubblegum snippet lost amongst soft white grape souring, tingling off-dry herbal restraint and narrow wheat margin. On tap at Seven Lakes Station ’23, mild sourdough creaming mellows out dry citrus spicing.
