What Our Editors Thought

“Pillowy white pepper over the faintest fruit background gives the nose a bit of snap. In the sip, the pepper note pushes forward with rigor, softened by off-dry fruit, with a white floral freshness that keeps everything shiny and bright. Remarkably balanced despite the strong competing flavors and aromas.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Slightly hazy yellow with a nice white head. A somewhat sharp farmhouse nose. Pepper, clove, and coriander intertwine in the flavor and leave a spicy impression on the tongue. A slight bitterness also makes an appearance and works well with the spice component. Light coriander, lemon, and orange peel present themselves in the off-dry finish. A very fun and different take on the classical style.”

What the Brewers Say

“Features a refreshing balance of citrus and spice. Coriander and Curaçao orange peel round out the flavor of this hazy Belgian-style wheat beer.”
