OLDE BURNSIDE PENNY WEIZ
Sessionable moderation perfectly re-creates zesty yellow grapefruit seed essence. Ancillary lemon-pitted pineapple and mandarin orange tartness sits below the surface at delicate white-breaded spine. Green tea wisp wavers. Though citric Belgian wit fruiting feels right, none of the stylistic sweet spicing comes forward.
RIVERTOWNE GRATEFUL WHITE ALE
Compelling canned Belgian wit retains delicate grassy-hopped citric mist, frothy pearl head and palest straw body. Sweet orange peel briskness seeps into coriander-spiced lemon candied tartness, subtle mango-juiced grains of paradise tropicalia and mild green banana starching. Subtle yeast pungency picks up lightly salted white peppering to winsomely contrast refreshing citrus spritz. Perfection.
BENNY WIT
Delicate pearl-headed straw-hazed moderation gains modest orange peel bittering alongside pithy coriander spicing. Silken sugar malt creaming inundates mild honeyed wheat base. Fleeting peppercorn and lemongrass herbage adds nice touch.
LOST ABBEY WITCHES WIT
SAMUEL ADAMS WHITE CHRISTMAS – 2012
Pleasantly hybridized holiday-spiced witbier (circa 2012) brings wispy white-peppered Yuletide seasoning to sweet orange-peeled lemondrop sugaring. Evenly spread cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread, clove, coriander and allspice niceties strengthen Seltzer-like citric nuances to mild honeyed wheat backbone. Moderate amber-hazed smoothie will soothe lighter thirsts.
BROOKLYN FIAT LUX
On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, muscle-bound draught-only 2012 witbier offers profound lime-peeled sourness and spiffy coriander dash to brazen juniper berry bittering. Wood lacquered ethanol whir, perfumed hop swerve and plasticene grouting saturate crisp citric-splashed finish. Seasoned hopheads will delight in its brash bitterness and boozy buildup.
DOGFISH HEAD POSITIVE CONTACT
On tap at Copper Mine, outlandishly hybridized witbier adds peculiar cider-spiced whimsicality to candi-sugared citric mix. Ripe red apple riff echoes through peach-lacquered lemon custard sweetness, wavering orange-candied pineapple tartness and cayenne-peppered cilantro herbage, picking up tertiary marshmallow, banana and cotton candy illusions to enlighten presumed crystal malt base.
KANE CLOUD COVER
Intriguing Belgian-styled witbier with wheat-dried barnyard-like farmhouse attributes blends floral citric pleasantries into crystal malt sugaring. Lemony mandarin orange rind bittering softly affects tangy pineapple, banana and grapefruit tropicalia. Herbal-honeyed hawthorn bush, heather and hibiscus flowering sweetens frolicking fruitiness while contrasting roughhewn alfalfa, whey and horse blanket illusions, deepening its full-bodied conviction.
PORT CITY OPTIMAL WIT
Easygoing Belgian-styled witbier proffers brisk citric effervescence. Sunny lemon Seltzer spritz spreads across subtle coriander-spiced orange peel sweetness, laidback banana-clove conflux and herbal lemongrass-peppercorn splurge to sourdough honeyed wheat spine. Musty grain wisp and peppery hop bittering merely underscore delicate intricacies.
DEFIANT ABOMINABLE SNOW BEER
Deviously abstruse witbier hybrid spreads peppery orange spicing over honeyed woodruff syrup and herbaceous Belgian yeast funk. Cedar-chipped jasmine, honeysuckle and sunflower illusions provide floral backdrop. Citric herbal peppering may seem offbeat to less experimental tastes.
WANDERING STAR ZINGARI LEMONGRASS WIT
Crisp moderate-bodied aperitif boasts lemongrass, cardamom and India fenugreek spicing (with a splash of coriander), retaining briny-salted citric zing. Delicate herbal pungency picks up dried fig-plum confluence, lemony tangerine-clementine tang and ancillary tarragon-thyme-rosemary seasoning for briskly clean-watered Belgian wit. Its subtle herbal complexities go beyond traditional stylistic genus.
