- Brew: Contrail White Spiced Belgian-Style Wheat Beer
- Style: Witbier
- Serving: 12 ounce bottle
- ABV: 4%
- Ingredients: Belgian yeast, Pale and Wheat malts along with flaked oats, Cascade hops (very little for low bitterness), and orange peel and coriander at the end of the boil.
- Pour: Very murky, pale honey-yellow with a bright white, 2-finger bubbly head that dissipates quickly leaving a small white cap with minimal lacing.
- Nose: Blending spicy, lemony, doughy, and fruity aromas, the Contrail White has a very inviting nose. It is characterized by lovely smells of exotic spices, lemon and orange zest, sourdough bread, and soft banana.
- Taste: Like the nose the flavor is a wonderful blend of crackery, fruity, and spicy goodness. There are notes of freshly baked wheat bread, soft banana, lemon juice, orange zest, coriander, cloves, nutmeg, and very light caramel.
- Mouthfeel: Crisp and refreshing with a peppery/spicy finish, the Contrail White is light-bodied with good carbonation.
Cheers!!
