Commercial Description:
Ben Gleason has been growing organic wheat for twenty eight years at his farm in Bridport, Vermont, just ten miles from our brewery. Our brewers have combined Ben’s organic raw wheat, organic rolled oats, and organic 2-row malted barley. The resulting golden brew is then mildly spiced with organic coriander and orange peel and fermented with an authentic Belgian yeast to create this complex and refreshing white ale. A fitting salute to Ben Gleason. Available in 6 pks, cases, and draft for the summer.

Pours cloudy yellow with some thin white fizz on top. Smells like pork sausages. I don’t know why, it just does. Coriander and basil notes. No flavor. Pork sausages with coriander and basil notes in the finish. Overall, this beer isn’t bad, it’s just boring. They even came up with a boring label.

Bottle [12oz] shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with a bit of sediment and a small diminishing white head. Aroma is slightly sweet along with some grain, corn, citrus fruit, wheat and some hints of sulfur and herbs. Flavour of citrus, grain, wheat and herbs -- refreshing enough on a warm day. Average bodied. Better then expected, not bad at all.
