After my neighbor Jeff turned me onto St. Bernardus' Abt 12. ... a fantastic quadruple. .. I thought I'd try some of their other offerings. Ran into this at Whole Foods... a Belgian white ale.
P: 25 oz bottle corked with one of those metal twist off nets. Label was plastic which is a little cheesy but it's in the same style as their other beers with a pic of St. Bernardus himself... sort of sets the tone for the Belgian style beer you are about to enjoy.
A: Hazy yellow pour, decent head
S: Floral, citrus... definitely picking up some lemon tones. Other reviews all call out the coriander. .. still learning. .. but after grabbing a bottle from my spice rack it's tough to miss.
T: Light and refreshing... getting that lemon flavor and then I'm picking of that banana flavor common in hefeweizens.
M: Crisp, cool, high carbonation level.
O: This is great floral summery beer. Going to have to try to brew one of these... i can see splitting in and doing something fruit to complement the citrus. Add some apple and this might pass as a cider. Wonder if watermelon might puree and mix with beer? Watermelon wit? hmmm
