The Bruery Orchard White

Brewed by The Bruery
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Placentia, California USA

Spicy citrus pale cloudy yellow with moderate carbonation. Sour hints a subtle reminder. Refreshing thirst quenching white. Very nice.

Hazed light golden color with a lasting white head. This is certainly a brew that should be considered a relaxing sniff. Lots of lavender with hints of orange and coriander. Little bits of dough, but mostly a floral scent. Actually rather dry in the flavors. Spice and citrus lead the way. Quenching, yes, but in a near sour and spice kind of way. I seem to be missing a malt component. I could really use a bit of pale malt or wheat sweetness to balance the spice out.

Hazy yellow pour with thick, fluffy white head. Strong coriander and spice aroma. Very strong "wit" aroma here. Flavor is quite overly spiced. but remains decently dry. Coriander, citrus, a definite Sour dough bread note. It’s alright, but the dude dug it, so I’ll give it a couple more points.

750ml bottle served in a tulip. Pale golden pour with a decent haze and a thick head of slowly fading off-white foam. Slippery lacing. The aroma had light spice, dried orange peel, dusty yeast, and some sourdough. The flavor was strong lavender notes, coriander, oranges, and yeast. Subtle. Medium-bodied with a light amount of crisp carbonation. Decent enough.

From Whole Foods in Arlington A nice Witbier...good color, decent armoa - the taste was too lavender for me. Better Witbiers available/

750 compliments of doboy (thanks Eduardo), poured a clear straw colour, aroma immediate of some funky barnyard biscuits that have a coriander dusting. The flavour was highlighted with lemons, a touch of hoppage as the grains and malt come to balance this tasty treat. Really enjoyed this one...

Thanks for sharing, bro! Pours a straw color with a medium soapy head. Aroma is belgian spice, coriander, chamomile, and lavender. Taste is much the same, with some citrus, but way too much lavender.

Bottle. Pours a light yellow color with bits of yeast sediment floating around. Head is off white and very pillowing. Aroma is of intense orange peel, coriander, yeast, lemon zest, clove and light note of lavender. Taste upfront is coriander, orange peel, light lemon zest and after all those light and carefully played flavors comes the lavender messing it all up. A touch of lavender would probably work really nice here, but it’s too much and makes a refreshing beer a bit of a choke down. Also, the oats lend to a nice creamy mouthfeel, but again the lavender just adds this weird tang in the finish. Not feeling this one.
