Commercial Description:
"Belgian White Ale" (North America) / "North American Craft Beer" (UK)
Brewed with oats for creaminess and spiced with the perfect combination of orange peel and coriander.
An unfiltered wheat ale spiced in the Belgian tradition for an uncommonly smooth taste.
Gold medalist (white beer) at 1995 World Beer Championships, silver medalist (white beer) at 1996 and 1997 World Beer Championships. 171 calories per 12-ounce serving and 5.4% abv.
Editor’s Note: Much of this beer’s production now comes from the Molson brewery in Toronto. A small portion of Denver draught production comes from the SandLot brewery. Still other product may continue to hail from Golden. 7/19/08.

Slight citrus aroma with a hazy orange pour with little bits of orange zest and white head. Has a spiced and citrus taste, which is surprisingly complex for a macro, and with a sweet finish. A pretty good attempt at a Belgian white from Coors of all people, but still obviously leaves much to be desired.

Murky looking brew with rather nice aroma and enjoyable on the palate. Sort of light but smooth and really drinkable. I actually like this a lot.Very,very good on tap with some fruit eh.

Overall a decent attempt at a belgian from a macro. Smells average for a belgian, nothing to strong but meets standards. Some wheat tastes there with a bit of an orange citrus, but an overwhelming carbonic sting destroys any semblance of enjoyment there. A shame, this would have been quality without it, but carbonation once again takes hold of a hopeful macro and flushes it down the toilet.

Good solid introduction to the classes of beer outside of BMC. I enjoy the light taste, though the bready feeling makes me want to change brews before I "get full". Not too much to say, some wheat, a little citrus and that’s all there is. I’d recommends for anyone who wants to get someone drinking something new.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a nice, large, off white head. Taste and aroma are of wheat and citrus. Is fairly sweet. For the price, this is a really nice beer, that is very easy to drink and enjoy.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Pretty dull, but drinkable white beer.

2008 Bottle - Pours cloudy tan with a small white head, bready citrus aroma with some spice, this beer was a bit of a surprise...I had it years ago and thought it was piss...slightly better this time, decent spicy grainy beer...light but with substance, I probably won’t drink this again because there are about 1,001 wits that are better, but better than expected...
