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.

<b>100th rater </b>. I love Wits and this is a safe man’s wit. Very mundane and quiet. Light coriander and a bit of yeasty sweetness, which is nice but a bit out of place in such a light and water-y wit. I have no problem drinking and offering this to someone new to the style but its a very mailed in/mainstream attempt at the style.

Pours cloudy yellow with suspended sediment and no head. Smells bland like wheat malt and really bitter hops. Flavor is tart and bland. Nothing special. No fruitiness. Dry finish.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow with a thick white head and lots of yeast flocculation. Bready coriander and wit yeast phenolic with lighter lemony notes. Full-bodied and nicely balanced orange and coriander. Good texture with spicy yeast and carbonation. Great yeast character.

a typical belgian white with a immediate vegetable taste and smell accompanied by a mild yet intense sweetness something like a saccharin and sugar mixture. thankfully it easy on the chalkiness perhaps due to the modestly mild citrus that i find lemony with just a touch of grapefruit and orange. the body is light although not too much so and overall not bad since i am not a particular fan of the style

This may have been the most hum-drum beer I’ve ever tasted. Despite the other reviews, I experienced a small, quickly dissipating head. Slightly citric, watery flavor. I’m all about Vermont breweries, but this beer should be avoided.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a cloudy yellow with fizzy white head that went away quickly. Aroma of some citris. Flavor has some wheat and light citris orange peel and corriander. Mouthfeel is light-med. body with high carbonation...Overall, it’s ok....would make a very nice summer beer, easy drinking.
