Appearance: |
Pours clear, bright and golden. Needs to be 90% evenly distributed, then swirl and touch up with yeast which leaves the appearance hazy but not cloudy. |
Aroma: |
Very Belgian-gone-Californian. There is a huge coriander/orange nose with all the wit-yeast aroma characteristics adding depth, earthiness, and spice. Havent had many Belgian Wits with such pronounced aroma but I guess we are loud Americans and this is over 7% abv! |
Flavor: |
Medium/Light carbonation. Has a nice spicy taste with an almost numbing, citrusy effect (definitely the orange rind) on the bigger sips. Lingering bitterness, earthy, bitter/sweet and a light warming effect (alcohol). |
Palate: |
Soft, low/medium body with a deceptively drinkable mouthfeel. |
Overall: |
I need to make some more as a homebrew cuz I like the way it tastes now. I would like to see some of the melding of flavors over the next few years! I dont think this one will lose much over time, but it seems spicier than it was in back in February. |
