Commercial Description:
Our wit beer (white beer) is an old style Belgian ale, brewed with wheat and barely , and spiced with Curacao bitter orange peel and coriander. The coriander and orange zest are detectable in the beer's aroma with a lingering, yet subtle "orangeiness." A unique one of a kind brew!
Moon River earned four medals at the 2005 Georgia Craft Brew Challenge hosted by Georgians for World-Class Beer. On Nov. 5, more than 200 lucky people packed the Biergarten at Atlanta’s 5 Seasons Brewing Company to taste the best beers made in Georgia. During the blind judging session, judges evaluated 35 beers and deemed:
• Belgian Ale Category: 1st Place - Wild Wacky Wit

(On tap) Very hazy - almost milky white - with a creamy, white head. Extremely perfumy, oozing with coriander and orange peel. Light body, a bit flat, discreet wheaty accents and a dry, lightly tart finish. 010406

hazy ligt yellow, big fine white head, light sweet spicy aroma, good spices and sweet malt flavor, a bit of unidefied fruit, a touch of orange citrus that grows and becomes huge, becomes a sweet orange malt beverage and leaves the beer behind, soda, all orange

Hazy blond color with a nice carbonated head. The aroma is very orangey & musky wheat. The flavor is full of dirty wheat. The spices are there but the wheat just bites too hard finishes musky.

Draught and cask samples at the brewpub. Cloudy lemon-gold with a bit more head on the CO2 version....succulent aroma of lemon zest, coriander, lilac and honeysuckle, very floral and strong (less so in cask version)....body dry, rather yeasty, with lots of lemon oil towards the finish, light spicing....low, tingly carbonation....cask version is a bit fuller in body, and a bit more delicate and subtle but in this case perhaps too much so, rather duller than the bright CO2 version and with a much weaker aroma....rating is for regular tap version, cask would be about .3 lower overall.
