Coney Island Albino Python

Bomber emblazoned with a creepy-ass dude, a goth seductress and one phallic-as-hell snake. Hazy yellow with a subdued head. Aroma is extremely spicy with licorice dominating, maybe some soft citrus in the background. Flavor is all about the spice, with an almost minty character at the forefront. The adjunct spice overpowers the typical clove esters of a white. Refreshing mouthfeel, and a nice change of pace, but a little too unbalanced.

Milky hazy yellow color and a thin head. Spicy; licorice/fennel/pepper aroma. Aroma is stronger than the flavor but that licorice/pepper is still there in the taste. A hit of a wit taste but too much of that spice to make something I’d order again although the lable is very cool and typical of the Coney Island era posters promoting side shows.

This is my first in the Coney Island series, which is appropriate because I was there the other day. Another nice label by Shmaltz. Cloudy butterscotch pour and a festive, tangy aroma. Malty and well hopped for a witte. Flavor of wheat, coriander, clove, and hops. A nice brew, and pretty robust for the style. I like the weirdly grinning Coney Island bottle cap too.

Just picked this up at Riley’s- $2.99 for a bomber. I guess they are from last year, but i sampled it today during lunch and it was pretty good. Poured a bright cloudy golden colour with a big fluffy white head. Taste is pretty creamy, but it tapers off near the end. noticeable yeasty notes alogn with something like coriander on the nose. Taste is fruity with some spices again, maybe nutmeg? Anyway, nice deal on a beer and it wasn’t half bad!

Bomber marked down to $2! Peach and clove aroma. Shimmering golden pour with a medium fizzy head that quickly disappears. Very strong flavor of cloves, light coriander at midpalate, and a minty finish. Perfumey and bitter throughout. Quite unique and gets points for originality.Tastes like a wibier and an apa mixed. The adjuncts make it a smidge too spicy.

Subpar effort full of spices, (barbecue curry type tasting) that don’t belong here. Not a horrible summer session, but there are three more seasons. Sorry Olde Saratoga, this one’s a miss for me. 2009 22 oz.

Bottle pourMurky yellow with a good white head.Sweet and spicey smell,the fruits are overpowered by ginger and nutmeg with some cloves along with some orange and lemon.Flavor is about the same but a little more balanced.A banana flavor also come through with the spices as well as the orange and lemon and some pepper.Very easy to drink,has a nice lingering sweet aftertaste.Good beer.

I guess it is the spices that push this out of the Witbier category. Poured a cloudy gold with a big nose of citrus hops, yeast, and coriander. Lively mouthfeel. Flavor is very spicy, with citrus, white pepper, clove, and wheat. The warmer it got the better it tasted, and finished very pleasant.
