The Bruery Orchard White

Tap at Sacramento Brewing. Light golden color, thin white head. Spicy nose. Taste is predominantly spice...lavendar, corriander, and sage(?). A little malt and a little bitterness but mostly spice. Would be great with roast turkey breast.

Scored a 750ml from Chevy Chase Wine in DC. Pours a hazy, translucent, orange with a frothy white head. Aroma is all spices, coriander, orange peel, white pepper, Belgian yeast. Flavor was over the top on the spice, you can get a touch of the wheat and some slight sweetness from the oats, but it’s almost all spice. Chalky finish.

On tap at the brewery. White head. Aroma is spicy, peppery, citrus. Flavor is delicious coriander, orange peel, pepper, wheat and bananas.

Bottle from SL. A big huge head and the body with hazy golden color. Strong lacing. Aroma of, gasp, ginger (some of the lavendar too), coriander. Flavor of ginger/lavendar, coriander, cinnamon, perfumey, chemical tastes (the yeast? maybe a theme for me with some of these Bruery beers), also some citrus. Mouthfeel moderate to light in body and highly carbonated. Bready yeasty malt/yeast with higher temps. Came off as a spice beer I wasn’t fond of way more than anything witbier-ish. Highly disappointed in this one. This brewery is sending me all over the place in terms of overall perception. I think it’s a personal / matchup thing, cuz others seem to have a killer high rating on this within style.

750ml – The Wine Source. Hazy gold, fluffy white head. Floral ginger-like aromas ride undercurrents of sweet peppery orange peel with a soft herbal foundation throughout. Dry citric-fruitiness and fresh florals balance well on a soft spicy peppered coriander backbone. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very refreshing…

Bottle at Mekong on 07/19/2009. Somewhat hazy golden orange body with a medium frothy white head. Huge spice aroma with lots of floral, citrus, and lemony notes. BIg spice flavor with lots of floral notes. Some citrus and a fairly dry finish. Medium body with moderately high carbonation.

Thanks Renceles. A massive milky white head takes forever to dissipate. The cloudy honey gold colored beer is very well carbonated. Malty and oats in the aroma along with some orange peel. Flavor is oats, flowers, champagne, apples, coriander. I don’t get any wheat flavor. There could be bigger flavors but have no complaints over what is there.

Courtesy of TampaBrew. Pours deep gold with 10 second white head. The aroma is sugary malts, cotton candy, apricot and flowery perfume. The taste is fresh and peppy with a pulse of carbonation bringing up white wine notes followed by grains, flowers and light colored fruitiness. This brew is both tasty and refreshing.
