Long Trail Belgian White

On first pour this is a fairly clean yellow beer, however there was a noticeable amount of sediment stuck to the bottom of the bottle which, once flushed out with a swirl of beer, created the typical cloudy witbeer look. Head starts off white and fluffy, but fades to nothing with no lacing. Aroma is is very lemony, like a cough-drop...quite artificial. Taste is very lemony-orange with a bit of a bitter finish. I give it the highest marks for palate, since this is a refreshing summertime brew, but I’ll stick with other, more traditional tasting Belgian Whites.

20080626 12oz bottle - it was on the singles rack at RB Spirits. Glowing pale yellow color with small but lasting white head. Aroma is a big kick of lemon, tangerine, dish soap (no, not my dish soap), and tropical notes (coconut, papaya, cocoa butter). Unusual and interesting but also quite artificial in presentation. Flavor carries a good deal of the citrus and tropical notes, with a lingering perfumed finish (crazy with coriander). Not much eff, not at all bitter or dry, this is a sweetish, flavorful, refreshing, odd concoction that I will be glad to have finished. Oh well.

light yellow cloudy pour lots of head very spicey aroma with orange coriander and banana. a little too much spice but would make a nice session beer

Long Trail Belgian White is a cloudy light golden ale with a small white head that makes a brief appearance. The aroma is faint and tart with notes of lemon, bubble gum, coriander and mint. It is medium light bodied and smooth with a bubbly finish. The flavor is dominated by coriander. It is very spicy with notes of mint, perhaps wintergreen or spearmint. It is very bold-- a unique Witbier. I’d almost call this a Spiced Ale, rather than a Wit.

Poured from bottle 6/2008. Odd aroma - like lemon fresh Joy for dishes. Looks like it should - cloudy gold with white head which vanishes. Comparison with Belgian ale ends there - this is lemony and watered down version of what it should be. I’m not tasting the spice in this. But I do taste the hand soap. A disappointment.

Light yellow hue with pillowy white head, all I can say is soapy, I seems very evident that it was on purpose, wanted to like more but this combo was too much like Dove lemon soap. Vaguely refreshing as best. Not recommended.

@ Uno’s-12oz bottle-pours a dissipating white head and verry hazy pale yellow color. Aroma is musty wheat, secondary spice, yeast. Taste is musty wheat, tart-lemon, secondary spice, yeast. A slightly spiced lawnmower beer. OK effervescence.

Coriander aroma. Cloudy yellow color with a medium white head that quickly dissipates. Light malt beginning with a coriander finish.
