Saranac Belgian White

Poured a weak hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was very weak and hardly detectable of anything. Flavor had a bit more to it, hints of citrus fruits and some spices, mainly coriander.

A nice pick from the summer pack. As it was being poured from bottle to glass it had the hazy white color but as it collected int he glass a clearer yellow appearance was found, with a very small head. The aroma was different in that when first smelled i got the lemon zestiness and even some blackberry smell. But a minute into drinking that was taken over by wheat. The taste was simular when it began sweet for a second but finished with a light hoppy spice.

This is a very good effort in my opinion. This is a good refreshing summer beer and they don’t sacrifice the belgian taste.

The aroma is an odd combination of sun tan lotion, citrus, coriander, wheat, and fruit. The appearance is hazy gold with a small head and lots of floating particles. The flavor is like the aroma (don’t know what sun tan lotion tastes like). The palate is thin. Overall it’s OK.

"Seasoned ever so lightly" from the commercial description is right. Watery, weak and boring. Maybe it might make a good intro to the style for some people. Me, I’d rather drink a Hoegaarden. Or for that matter, I’d even rather drink a Blue Moon Belgian White. Both are better than this weak-kneed brew.
