Commercial Description:
Mothership Wit elevates the zesty Wit or White beers of Belgium with wheat malt, coriander and orange peel spicing - all of which are organically grown. The alluring taste is the result of gravitational balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation. "Mothership", long the nickname of New Belgium's brewing facility, has grown to encompass the brewery's sustainable approach to doing business. Appropriately, MOTHERSHIP WIT - a Wit to Make One Wonder.

Pours very pale yellow with a thick white head. Big yeast aromas with hints of pear and sour apple. Big wheat flavor with hints of barnyard and a slight saltiness. Lingering sourness typical of the style. Medium body. This beer deserves better ratings than it gets.

Zesty brew! Pours a cloudy, hazey golden colour with aromas of honey, wheat coriander. Prevalent semi-sweet flavors all the way through. Creamy mouthfeel with a wonderful aroma, honey blossoms and fresh flowers. Nice bier :)

(Draft @ FS Hou): Pours a very cloudy pale yellow color, good sized head, foamy & white. Citrusy belgian aroma, banana, spice like clove. Watery taste, citrus & some spice. Weakish flavor. Eh, not a big fan or whites, but this is a decent one.

Draft, cloudy straw collor with thin white head. Aromas of lemon, wheat, cloves, light banana. Taste is slightly acidic, lemon, with hints of cloves, coriander and honey sweetness and some bready yeasts. A very good wit.
