3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 hivemind (657) - New York, New York, USA - DEC 28, 2012
12oz bottle from sampler at Erica’s parent’s around or on Christmas. Hazy peach-yellow pour. Nose has a little bit of citrus, but overall this beer lacks the citrus zest I love in witbiers. Not bad at all, though. Easy drinking, like all of the beers in the sampler pack, and good enough to probably be my favorite of the 6.

12 ounce bottle poured a hazy light yellow color with aromas of citrus, coriander, spice, and some light wheat. Flaovrs are the same, light spiciness in the aftertaste, decent witbeer overall.

This being a Christmas beer I figured it would be darker but it poured a hazy light yellowish hue. Smell was bitter and slightly spicy. Tastes light with hints of holiday spices. Good addition to three seasonal sampler.

Aroma of cinnamon, citrus, wheat and bananas. The cinnamon is really pleasant and contiguous. Color is a cloudy yellow, with white head and minimal lace. Taste of nutmeg and cinnamon, wheat. Didn’t get any citrus on the tongue except maybe at the very end. Light body and carbonation. A different wit but I think they pulled it off in the end. Good seasonal wit.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Fatehunter (749) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - NOV 13, 2012
Two fingers of head, held well. Cloudy, medium straw colored body.
Smell a lot of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg and some citrus, but I can’t place it. It smells festive.
Taste like orange and the above spices. The mildest of bitterness at the end.
Soft texture, surprising but nice. Medium body, low carbonation. Almost like sipping on a cloud.
Really not bad. Not my favorite style, but this one is put together well.

Bottle. Hazy orange yellow, medium white head, nice lacing. Aroma is wheat, coriander. Flavor is about the same, plus other spices. Nutmeg? Medium sweet with a bit of lemon zest bitterness. Medium body. Not bad. Not sure why it its getting so hammered here.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Stampion (98) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - DEC 9, 2012
Unfiltered but not heavy. Light and the spices make you feel warm. Bit not overly spiced. Nutmeg hits you and is supported by the orange. A good early winter beer.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy gold with a slight white head. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and a little orange zest. Med body. Thanks to the spice it reminds of a "pumpkin" ale. But the cinnamon fits for winter too. So much spice my mouth tingles a bit.

Bottle part of the winter pack. Decent Belgian white with some wintery spice added to distinguish from your typical summery brew. A nice change of pace.
