Kuhnhenn Tangerine Wit

Brewed by Kuhnhenn Brewing
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Warren, Michigan USA

Tap at the Blind Tiger. Very thin, uninteresting flavor. Super dull. Some wheat, not much else. Lightly floral, stone fruit/apricot nose.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Pale yellow cloudy pour. The nose is loaded with coriander but surprisingly not a lot of citrus. There is a little bit of banana flavour that gives it a hefe-like quality. The spiciness of the wheat pops through quite a bit though as does a leaner yeasty spiciness. It’s a pretty lacklustre interpretation.

Tap at Blind Tiger: Beautiful cloudy yellow pour with a dense white head. Fresh bright lemony wheat aroma with some mild coriander, lavender and orange peel. Creamy crisp body. Wheaty flavor with a soft bright citrus rind character leading to a spicy lavender and mild coriander note with white pepper phenols and bitter hop notes on the back. A nice witte.

On tap at the Blind Tiger at their Kuhnhenn event. Pours a hazy gold with a medium to thick white head. Coriander, light orange. Thin to medium body, light wheat. Finishes with a light crisp bitter. Where’s the tangerine?

Pours a golden body with a 1 finger white head. Big citrus fruit body. Tangerines, clementine, coriander, and oranges. A little wheat lemon zest and a soapy chamomile.

Draft sample at MBGF07. Poured hazy orange with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate yeasty orange and sour citrus aroma. Light to medium body. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of long duration. My expectations where not met.

This is pretty much what it says it is. Taste almost like orange juice. A pale beer with strong citrus, lemon, a little sour. If you want a beer to go with your banana at breakfast, grab one of these.
