Bells Batch 8000 Ale

Bottle thanks to BigMilly8. Pours cloudy and deep orange with a tiny off white head. Different grades of orange layer the glass making this somewhat striped and murky! Nose is spicy, yeasty, estery, and sugary! Flavor is a mixture of your typical witbier (coriander, citrus, and wheat) with a big boozy backbone, and a ton of fruits including fresh orange, banana, and a hint of passion fruit. All of this topped off with a candy sugar coating that makes this sweet, spicy, and sticky. What an absolute treat.

(Bottle via trade with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=7443 target=blank>BBB63, thanks Mike!) Pours an apricot orange, quite cloudy with half a finger of white head that recedes to a thin layer. Aroma of yeast, a light spice which I couldn’t identify and maybe a light hint of orange or other fruit. Mouthfeel medium full, fairly smooth, light carbonation. Flavor of light spice, very slightly peppery, very light citrus and yeast. A bit of a red wine note as well. Finishes with a bit of a sour bready quality esp. as it warms. Light alcohol presence. A little bit like a saison.

Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head. Aroma of wheat, spices and a hint of alcohol. Tastes is of the same, much just like an amped up wheat beer.

12oz bottle(courtesy of gunhaver)-A cloudy yellow with a small white head that dissipated into a small ring. Aroma of oraqnge peel, coriander, wheat, and slight alcohol. Taste of the same with some belgian yeast thrown in and IMO this holds the alcohol taste very well. A nice tasting brew.

A 9% Belgian Wit! Only Bells would do something like this. I like their description "Imperial/Double Belgian Wit" better as this is not a Belgian Strong Ale in any real sense. It’s appearance, aroma, and overall taste is that of a wheat, that will kick your butt! Nice job as always.

Bottle@Dr.Bills. Clear yellow pour with no head. Light leather taste, but not much else. Perhaps it needs some time?

Big thanks to MuenchenerKindl for this one Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a fingers worth of head that dissipates quickly to a minimum amount of lace on top of a hazy tangerine body with some little yeast particles floating in it You get that typical Belgian yeast aroma followed by candy sugar and citrus very malt, candy sweet forward then you get that citrus bitter follow-up although as it warms the sweetness tended to subside .It become’s much more balanced and spice’s come forward mouthfeel is full and not much carbonation if at all on the tongue I like this one. It’s a great take on a Belgian, very drinkable, most defiantly worth the try, and to buy again

Pours a hazy wheat orange with lots of sediment that sits suspended in the glass. Makes you think its going to be thick. Has a thick white head to go with it. Should I garnish with an orange? Naaaah. Aroma is orange, wheat, coriander, and yeasty. Taste is pleasant citrus and wheat. Nice medium body. Finishes a little spicy. Very nice.
