Commercial Description:
This Select Special Edition Summer Ale is an unfiltered and refreshingly smooth white ale. It is brewed with malted barley and unmalted wheat. This wheat ale features a blend of spices. A hint of orange peel and a twist of lemon makes this ale a thirst quenching experience you will savor!

An off white off yellow appearance. Decent appearance. A very weird beer from the start. The aroma had a somewhat displeasing aspect. The citrus smell is only slightly there. This beer is a summer ale and we are going on Novermber, maybe the farmers market screwed up the storage somehow. The aroma is not very pleasing for a belgian white. The appearance is okay, and this is what I would expect from a belgian white, so it gets a decent mark for that. The flavor has that citrus flavor, but it does not mature as it needs to. This beer has an awful smell followed by a weak flavor. The palate is somewhat thin. The lemon really comes out after it warms up a bit, but still the flavor is not where it needs to be. Middle of the road witbier.

Bottle--Pretty much a run a mill beer. The beer was the lightess yellow color with a permanent white, fizzy head. The aroma and tasted contained the orange and lemon you would expect. An average brew. produce place, mix six pack

Smells light and yeasty. pours a pale yellow, kind of straw color, slightly hazy. Taste is very wheaty and light with a slight taste of citrus or spice. A refreshing wheat beer.

Bottle sampled. Pours cloudy golden with an average white head. Aroma of citrus, spices, and grain. The flavor is citrus, lemons, spices, with a mild trace of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Light bodied, ok i guess.

Pours a fairly clear straw gold with a small white head. Smells of mild spicy citrus, wheat, and a grain. Nothing special here. The taste is much of the same. More citrus than wheat in the flavor. A little mild bitterness in the finish. Not bad, pretty refreshing, but noticeably flawed. I’d drink it on the beach.
