Real Ale - White 5/18

DISCRIPTION:

White is a tip of the hat to the great Belgian-style witbiers (or white beers). While this style of beer is usually delicate and subtle, ours is anything but. It’s brewed with traditional ingredients, such as unmalted wheat, orange peel and coriander, and fermented with our house Belgian yeast strain. With a dry hop level that matches an IPA, White features a commanding aroma more like its American peers than its Belgian ancestors. Tropical notes abound with a crisp, dry finish.

ABV 4.6%

REVIEW: Well, THAT’s an interesting color; cloudy hazy yellow with a slight green tint and definite sediment. The head is white, solid, and extremely lacy. Nose is very hoppy for a Belgian white -- rosemary, pine, and orange. Substantial on the tongue, with orange, coriander, and herbal (sage, rosemary, and marjoram) notes. Lots of body. Finish is long, citric, and sweet. Nice.
