<b>In short: </b>A standard Witbier but with an added wild side<br /> <b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub, first batch<br /> <b>The look: </b>Cloudy yellow body topped by a very small but long lasting white head.<br /> <b>In long: </b>Nose is typical witbier with lemony notes, some coriander, some flowers and such. Saison yeast doesn’t show much on the nose. Light-medium body, lively carbonation, wheat, coriander, tropical fruits, medium tartness, etc. But it’s really that wild yeast that makes the difference. Not funky or even countryside but that yeast is just wild enough to turn what would otherwise be same-old-same-old into something interesting. I need to get some of that yeast and add it to my girlfriend’s cooking.

En fût. Verre de 20 oz. à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur d’épices. Apparence: La couleur est orange légèrement voilée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’épices avec une pointe de zeste d’orange. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’épices en arrière goût. (Rating #1768)

<i>My Bottom Line:</i><br /> Citrusy flowers and coriander seeds suffuse the quenching wheat of this highly successful Witbier before a forthcoming hop nudge tickles its tight mouthfeel.<br /> <br /> <i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br /> -A lasting sheet of foam tops the hazy yellow-white shine.<br /> -The aroma is as intelligent as it is gorgeous.<br /> -The expressive Saison yeast is a perfect match to the Witbier grain bill.<br /> -Effervescence is quite comfortable.<br /> -Milky allusions peek once in a while.<br /> <br /> <b>On tap at the brewpub.</b>
