Commercial Description:
Orchard White is our Belgian-style witbier. We brew it with unmalted flaked wheat, oats, malted barley, corriander, orange peel, and lavender. This is a thirst-quenching beer that will be a year-round offering.

Yellow...small head. Lovely citrus and malt and lemon grass and grapes and strolls thru fields of flowers with eye candy and happiness and I’d like some more please!

Courtesy ChzMan. Hazy gold, huge dense white head. Aroma is floral, spicy, bready, and a little dusty. Flavor adds some sweetness. Clean finish. Medium body, well carbonated yet soft. Very nice wit, great summer brew.

Pours a hazy, almost glowing glowing yellow. Aroma is spritzy, if that makes any sense, with hints of lemon curd, yeasty and some slight floral notes. Flavor is a contiuation of the aroma, with a bit of the floral note coming on.

Pours slightly yellow with a white haze. I’m not the biggest whit / white beer drinker. This one was really really good. Nose had floral, some citrus, white malt, chalk. Palate had crisp acidity, almost made it seem sour, the white’ness continued. Just as a whit beer is explained and made, tasted of dry wheat and malts. Can almost picture dry oatmeal in the tube. Tons of sage and herb mixed in with the cloud of citrus and flowers. Very easy to drink. Mouthfeel is almost dry, and the taste is very complex thus the good rating. Will seak out way more Bruery beers after this positive experience.

750 ml bottle purchased mail order from Joey at South Bay in Imperial Beach, CA. Pour is cloudy hazy golden yellow with a perfectly white one inch head. Aroma of floral hops and earthy grassy hops. Soft fruitiness present as well, strawberry or Kiwi. Very full and engaging nose. Lovely. Taste is flowers, bright hoppiness and wheat. Aftertaste is full of the hay and yeastiness. Palate is dry and on the full side for a Wit, must be the oats. Nice beer.

Bottle shared by theisti. Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a thin, creamy, ivory head. The aroma is a wheat malt front with coriander and a lighter note of orange peel in support. Light to medium-bodied and somewhat "grainy" at first, turning flinty at the finish. The flavor follows the nose with the aforementioned flintiness thrown into the mix. This is a solid wit. Thanks for sharing it with us, Tim.
