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 a hazy whitish amber with a decent frothy white head, decent lacing. aroma is spicey citrus and flavor came across as banana, yeast, some spice and herbs with a dry slightly bitter finish. light, would have perferred something with a little more body.

Poors cloudy pale gold with a massive white head that mostly dimishes. Aroma of banana/bubblegum. Not much happening with the flavor of this beer. Very subtle muted flavor. Definitely drinkable but could use some more spice. As 19641948 states it needs a little oomph!

Looking at my glass and it has a tint of green. Don’t need green beer and hate that the word "organic" is on the label. It has the correct wit beer profile with a lasting sour aftertaste. Head dissipated much too fast but laced the glass. It seemed like a week version of the superior euro wits.

Pours a translucent pale gold with white frothy head. Smells of citrus and spices. Mild taste of citrus and spice. Not as strong as a German hefe. Quick finish; leaves you wanting more. Not too bad, but a bit "thin" for my taste

This is by far my favorite New Belgium beer. I first tried it in the Folly Pack, and since it was such a hit, my liquor store started carrying the six pack. It reminds me a lot of a Blue Moon with an orange in it. Tastes great, though. Would be nice on a summer day.

Hazy yellow with a thin head that diminishes quickly. Citrisy taste with a weak finish. I was expecting more.
