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.

Bottle. Pours unfiltered yellow with a white head. Light aroma, with notes of wheat, fruit, and lemon. Medium body. Flavor is citrus and wheat. A pretty average example of a style I’m not crazy about.

The palate was bitter, but the aromas were great - white flowers, apricots, a little citrus, and some spice notes. It wasn’t visibly attractive, but it was better than I thought it would be after tasting.

DIdn’t bother pouring it into a glass since it had a screw top, so the pour is an uneducated guess. A little wheaty, not much spice on the nose. Medium smoothness, not to creamy on the mouth. A little fizz, so it probably is the piece giving the "peppery" hints. (Bottle Pour 2/3/2008)

A lightly peppery/spicy nose, with subtle coriander and pepper coming through on the palette. Not bad, a tad bland, but good as a side to a beer.

Slightly hazy effervescent golden body with a thinnish very soapy white head. Aroma of very strong curacao, wheat, yeast, coriander seed and bananas, bubble gum and more orange peel. Medium-bodied; Super potent flavour of wheat and curacao in this one with a bit of yeast and coriander seed behind. Aftertaste is way too short, only showing a few sedentary flavours near the end - more curacao, wheat and coriander seed than anything else. Overall, a bit one-dimensional, too much of the strong flavours and no complexity make this one a strong pass, even for an american attempted wit! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 30-January-2008.

12 oz. beer from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Bottle marked brewed on 11/5/2007. Pours a cloudy gold with a white head. Aroma is a touch or spice, yeast. Taste is wheat, yeast and a touch of coriander on the end. Orange peel is non existent in aroma or taste. Average beer at best.

Not a bad beer overall. The body is a bit fuller than I like for a White Ale. Heavy smell and taste of orange, not so much on the coriander and spices. Light floral aroma yields to the orange flavor. Nice white head, a bit weak on carbonation, and sediments in the beer.
