Commercial Description:
Mythical White grand cru follows the tradition of authentic Belgian golden ales. Crafted with genuine Belgian pale malts and yeast, and is spiced with sweet and bitter orange peel, coriander, and chamomile. Double fermented and bottle conditioned in the Method Champenoise for intensely fruity and spicy aromas balanced by a delicate blend of spice, hop and malt flavors. "The idea behind the creation of Mythical White was to take the elements of some of my favorite Belgian beers and combine them into something uniquely different. We used the spices of a white beer, the strength of a triple, the fruitiness of a Belgian red ale, and the tartness of a lambic to create a beer that is really its own style." - Mark Richmond, Big Hole Brewmaster

Golden pour with white head and lace. Light toasted malt aroma. Light dryish sour flavor a hint of spice. Pretty nice complkex in a way but not an over the top brew.

Hazy orange-tinged golden with a mediocre white head. Initially aroma is of pineapple and ammonia cat piss. As it warms and the head recedes the aroma becomes very sweet and spicy with guava fruit and peaches. Sweet fruity-perfume palate with subtle spice. There is a bit of harshness in the finish that is not truly bitter and may be the first hint that this beer is going off I am not sure which. Just okay for me.

12 oz. Thanks bitbucket. Nice golden haze, with a white head. Very carbonated. The chamomile is obviously there. Nice and citrusy. Light body. Like to have it again.

Bright hazy gold body witha large white head. The aroma is light orange peels and the chamomile. There is also some apple. The taste is definite chamomile with some dried apple chip notes. There is also some herbal character to go with a little bit of citrus. An interesting brew.

Hazy gold. Malts were cakey and drying. Sharp texture. Spicy hops (plants, flower petals). Had an off-putting starkness with tannins and bitter grains. Very peppery. Very little sweetness to cleave off its sharpness. Thus, its bitter aftertaste lingered into the dry finish. Seemed unbalanced.
