This unfiltered wheat ale is a fresh American version of a classic Belgian white ale. An intricate blend of unusual spices creates its distinctive and refreshing taste. White Ale is unfiltered and displays a beautuful cloudy haze with a fine sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Cheers!

    Bottle: Poured a hazy amber color with a nice thick creamy head. Aroma was a wheat and citrus. Taste was smooth and not overwhelming very malty with wheat.

    Pours hazy gold – orange with off white head. The aroma is sweet sugary malts, mild banana-bubble gum, tartness, apples, noble hops, grainy malts but overall kind of mild in strength. The nose seems to have a lot going on. The taste has notes jumping all over the place, a bit jumbled and on the bright side. I get sweet malts then grainy malts while lemon, faint banana, apples and spices seem to be attacking the maltiness from above. Toward the finish I get notes of creamed corn that seem a bit out of place.

    Just when you think you’ve tasted most SA there is always another coming down the pike. Overall a little more bitter than I expected for a white wit ale or beer. 12 oz brown bottle. Beautiful swirling yeast appearance that I have come to expect with a wheat beer. The color is a little towards off white if a shade of brown, hazy. White beer yeastiness in the aroma along with some plastic background. A little strongish for a wit bier. Has decent carbonation that I can appreciate. Probably should be in the american wheat style. For an amereican wheat, OK. But for a wit, too many unkept manners, needs to be more refined.

    Poured practically flat. The dregs are swirled up and added to the already poured beer. This brings up a medium sized white head with decent retention and a bit of splotchy lacing. Hazy gold color is somewhat dark for a white beer. Grainy malt nose, citrusy. Light/medium body, creamy palate. Good coriander, spice flavors. Finish is dry with a hint of anise.

    The pours a very clouded golden color with reddish hues. The head is white, frothy, and lasts a few minutes. The aroma is wheat, coriander, citrus, yeast, and black pepper. The mouthfeel is light to average. The flavor is sweet and spicy, the way a good witbier should be

    Poured slightly hazy pale/straw yellow with a frothy head with a little lacing. The aroma was of dry malt with soury-grass like hops. The taste is well balanced profile of hop/malt throughout. The finish is slightly tart but crisp and refreshing. No lingering bitterness The mouthfeel is minimally tart and refreshing, smooth finish with good carbonation.

    One of the worst Sam Adams beers I have had the pleasure of trying. Misses the mark of a witbier everywhere with weakness. The colour is a bit pale, the aromas are very weak, especially the spices, and the flavour is a tad thin. I've tried ot several times with the same opinion.

    12oz bottle -

    Blue Moon tends to get all the glory with the uninformed, but this beer runs rings around Blue Moon and just showcases how great an American made wibier can be. Just oozing with a juicy orange aroma, lots of black pepper, light bread and some fruity esters. Flavor echoes the aroma with tons of fruity notes, orange juice/peel, coriander, black bepper. It's a beautiful poor, cloudy orange body with a rich, thick 1/2" head. My wish would be to see this beer at the lips of Blue Moon drinkers and they'd see how much better this really is.

    Cloudy golden yellow/orange pour with a fair amount of carbonation. Good amount of lace on the glass. The aroma of the beer was average at best. The flavor was fruit and coriander. Overall a good beer. Ideal for Spring/Summer.

    An average for the type from my "go-to" guys at Boston Brewing Company. Nothing offensive or hateful, but nothing stellar either. Pours a amber/ornage with haze into a pilsner glass with a thin head. Cloves and citrus present in aroma and flavor to some degree. Decent, but don't get your hopes up.
