At the Yokohama Brewer’s Cup, on tap. It poured a cloudy gold with a small head of foam. The flavor was a nice malty base with a bit of belgianesque spicy notes. Decent.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft @ 50/50. Pours a murky, tarnished yellow-brown color; fine-bubbled off-white head with solid retention and lacing. Very prominent coriander spicing in the aroma, along with some creamy wheat notes and a modest hop character (citrus, minerals); solid, vibrant witbier aroma. Medium body; lively CO2; the coriander note figures prominently, almost like a spicy ginger addition, and really gives this witbier some life; notes of citrus, creamy wheat, hints of vanilla. Medium finish of toasty wheat, lingering citrus acidity; crisp and dry. Nicely handled spiciness.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Spent the NYE weekend on a beer trip in the Sierra Nevada area and Fifty Fifty was my first stop and it started the weekend off on a nice note. On tap, the beer was a cloudy golden yellow body with a fluffy merengue white head. Aroma was citrusy and light spice. Flavor had a strong citrus note, light wheat, and floral/soapy. Sleepy time tea on the flavor, citrusy, and wheaty. Very nice, clean, and easy to drink.
