Brewed with divine inspiration and a combination of pale 2-row, raw wheat, and oats, this ale is steeped with a complex blend of spices including coriander, Curacao orange peels, and Kaffir lime leaves. It is hopped with Centennial and Czech Saaz for a citrus flower finish. Beneath the bright white head, the cloudy golden body holds a surprising depth of flavours with pepper, grapefruit, and a vibrant acidity. Serve at 6 C. in a tumbler. Unfiltered. 19 IBUs.

    Bottle courtesy of Oakbluff: Poured a light yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of light wheat malt notes with some coriander and loads of lime. Taste is a mix between some light wheat with light coriander and orange peel with loads of lime. It almost felt like drinking some kind of lime-flavoured spritzer. Body is a bit light but mot beers from this style have a light body with some good carbonation. I think this beer could have improve with more wheat malt and coriander ad maybe slightly less lime.

    Bomber bottle ( thanks Kris) Poured a protien-clouded pale gold elixer into my witbier tumbler...decent white frothy meringue cap lasts and laces. Aroma of citrus, spice and sweet grains some floral. Excellent nose...very pronounced and pungent. Medium body, peppery-dry mouth feel, very dry, citrus character. This is like taking a mouthful malted sunshine...wonderful!... You get the lime-orange citrus brightness and the coriander- saaz spiciness and that wonderful breadyness all mixed together in 3 dimensional flavor package that rides unchanged until the finsh where the unmalted wheat and oats combined with citrus astringency give an almost puckering dryness and citrus-spritzy decentment....and then a burst of biscuit dough in the after taste. Magnifique! A well put together, flavorful, drinkable dry white ale...one of the best I’ve tasted.
