16oz draught <br> 4.5% ABV <br> Bar Hop (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> June 5, 2014 <br> The beer pours a hazed metallic gold with a thin white ring for a cap.

2410 Blue Moon Belgian White / Belgian Moon United States Witbier 2.8

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

Had as Belgian Moon &#60;br&#62; 473ml can&#60;br&#62; 5.40&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; LCBO # 255 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main &#47; Bronte&#41; &#60;br&#62; November 20, 2018&#60;br&#62; &#36;2.85&#60;br&#62; I’ve had this for a while so I thought I better try it as witbiers &#40;and faux witbiers&#41; have short shelf lives. The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a thick bubbly head that is short lived as are all Macro beer caps. The aroma is stale grains, metallic notes, and cardboard. No wheat or spices. Is it age, or just bad beer? The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is definitely wheat with bubblegum in the mix. Still not a lot of spice or hop notes on the tongue. It certainly tastes better than it smells, and to be honest is quite a bit better than some craft witbiers here in Ontario.

2411 Mill Street White Space Wheat Canada Witbier 2.4

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 5.00&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: June 28, 2018&#60;br&#62; LCBO # 255 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main &#47; Bronte&#41; &#60;br&#62; November 28, 2018 &#60;br&#62; &#36;3.25&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a hazy pale gold colour with a very thin white ring for a head. Possibly a symptom of being 5 months old. The aroma is wheat malt, some wet cardboard, and weak floral hops. The mouthfeel is light bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is watered down wheat, with some bubble gum sweetness and weak bitter hop finish. Not very good.

2412 Insel-Brauerei Insel Kreide Germany Witbier 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

750ml bottle &#60;br&#62; 5.60&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Best Before: November 13, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO # 255 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main &#47; Bronte&#41; &#60;br&#62; February 9, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;8.25&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a slightly hazed honey gold colour with a 1: white bubbly cap supported by a large amount of effervescence. The aroma is more barley than wheat, with herbal hops, some spices, and a definite yeasty note. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, crisp, with average carbonation. The flavour is wheat, some tart fruity notes, and a definite yeasty flavour. Witbiers aren’t my favourite style, and this champagne take on the style didn’t help that opinion any.

The aroma is light spices, citrus, yeast, and wheat. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation….more full than most witbiers. The flavour is wheat, spices, almost peppery spices, yeast, and citrus. This is the best Ontario witbier I have had in a while.

2415 Collingwood Brewery FreeStyle Series: Key Lime Sour Canada Witbier 2.9

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5

473ml can <br> 4.00% ABV <br> Canned On: June 21, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 20, 2021 <br> $3.50<br> The beer pours a hazed gold colour, with some green hues. The head is bubbly, and the beer is full of floaties. The aroma is cereal malt, lime, and funky tart yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very lime forward, very tart, with a light cereal malt backbone. A bit too much lime for me.

2417 Cigar City Florida Cracker Belgian Wit United States Witbier 3.3

The aroma is wheat, smoked wood, herbs, and yeast. Interesting combination. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet wheat and bubble gum to start, giving way to charred wood, and spices in the finish. Again, a very interesting beer.

2418 Black Bellows Himalaya White IPA Canada Witbier 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 6.5&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: July 3, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #457 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge &#47; Eglinton&#41;&#60;br&#62; July 26, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.75&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a hazed golden yellow with a frothy white cap and an abundance of floaties. The frothy white cap lasts a while and laces beautifully. Aroma is wheat, citrus, light spices, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is bitter citrus peel, some fruit notes, yeast, and weak spices. One gets the “IPA” more than the “White” in this one.
