Commercial Description:
White Sail is a Belgian-style white beer, craft brewed with wheat, malted barley, hops, and a little bit of coriander and orange peel. It is mild yet flavorful, with fruity undertones and a haze from the yeast and wheat. This ale is delicious on its own, or with a slice of orange.

Otter Creek’s White Sail is okay. Not by any means my favorite Belgian White, but drinkable

Pours an orange golden, slightly hazy color. There was a small fizzy white head that disappeared very quickly. The nose is a sweet cotton candy, artificial strawberry sweetness, with a slight touch of bitterness at the end. The flavor is sweet, but not quite as overpowering as the nose. The flavor has some coriander and a some spicy yeast. A very bready dry base to the flavor. Medium body, that finishes pretty dry.

well this is hardly seems like a wit beer. I smell and taste the orange and also some lemon too. The beer is a slightly cloudy light amber color with barely a head at all. Zilch on the lacing. It is refreshing, but it just doesnt taste like a true wit beer at all. Not enough body or yeast/malt in the character. Thin on the mouthfeel. This beer tastes pretty decent, it just doesnt compare to a true wit.

Aroma of dates and coriander. Cloudy amber, sediments, thin head. Tastes of clove and coriander with a trace of raisin. Too much spice, no foundation.

...decent beer, I wouldn’t call it a wit, but still good. Nice orange and corriander spicy notes, blended well with the wheat malt. On the lighter side, refreshing with an off-white head and light brown hazy color. Good sediment, which is a must for a good wit, worth a try.

Nose is lemon and wheat, hazy yellow, almost no head. Flavour is mild citrus, bit of spice. Light bodied, refreshing. Better than average. Thanks Radek.

12 oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Florida). Pours hazy golden with clearly visible dark suspended particulate matter. Virtually non-existent white head. Aroma: a little bitter in the nose with hints of butterscotch and raisin. Flavor: slightly bitter from start to finish with hints of grass and straw. Quick, watery finish.
