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.

I know this is a white/wheat, however, even with that, it’s just too light for my tastes.

Decent wheat beer but nothing too special. Has a pretty full bouquet of orange peel and floral characters but doesn’t hold its own in the flavor. Decent and refreshing brew but not up to par with a real Belgian Wit. Probably won’t buy again.

A cloudy yellow appearance with a moderate white head. The aroma is nice with some lemons, spice, coriander, and orange peel. The flavor is somewhat subdue with some lemons, coriander, and bready notes present. The finish is rather dry. Overall a pretty good witbier.

Bomber. Pours a grassy yellow color with a big white head. Nose of yeast, spice, wheat. Taste is of wheat, citrus, coriander, yeast. Finishes a little bitter. Body is pretty light; this is an easy drinker. Good session brew or summer drinker.

Poured an orange haze with a rocky white head. Aroma is slight, with pepper notes. Flavor has more lemon than orange, although not a bright flavor.

22oz bomber. Pours a yellow/orange cloudy color. Nose is typical of a wit beer, with lots of coriander, yeast and some citrus notes. Flavor is the same but with more lemon zest than expected, to much in my opinion. There are much better white beers on the market for me to get this one again. It is Organic though so thats a plus.
