CLOWN SHOES CLEMENTINE WHITE ALE

Striking moderate-bodied witbier brings abundant orange-peeled clementine-tangerine-lemon tang to peppery sediment-chunked Belgian yeast funk. Banana, vanilla and butterscotch further sweeten floral-perfumed citric spunk, delicate clove-coriander-cinnamon spicing and mentholated hibiscus-eucalyptus remnant. Perfect for sunny afternoon consumption. On tap at Nanuet Mall’s Yard House, orange rotted clementine juicing swept thru more pronounced hop-dried juniper bittering and softer white wheat bed.

SAMUEL ADAMS IMPERIAL WHITE

Almost undone by its scattershot complexities, unexpectedly dark coppery witbier possesses many inconstant qualities. Though advertised as ‘wheat ale brewed with spices,’ its simple boast holds no weight, as coriander flavoring seems negligible and the wheat influence, an afterthought. Yet its medicinal rum-spiced Scotch-licked brandy scurry and boozy vodka scamper will blur eyesight. Sugary orange-candied pastry-malted sweetness dabbing white-peppered clementine, naval orange, and marmalade fruiting goes beyond penetrative liquor luster. Ultimately, zesty citric niceties and mild juniper-hopped bittering encourage venturous mainstream deviants to imbibe indistinctly defined, undeniably strong, 10.3% alcohol intoxicant.

ELLICOTTVILLE WINTER WITTE

Profound Belgian-American witbier initially brings abstruse herbal-citric souring to leafy green-hopped bitterness. Thereupon, mild orange-peeled juniper bittering delves into lemon-candied tartness and fluctuant lemongrass-thyme-rosemary herbage. Dark floral hibiscus-chamomile thicket seeps into raw-honeyed molasses sapping that sticks to the tongue before dank alcohol burn emerges. As it warms, red cherry, black cherry, blackberry, and raspberry fruiting reaches the summit.

POINT BELGIAN WHITE

Effervescent golden-hazed pilsner-malted Belgian-styled witbier retains thin light-bodied nature. Mild coriander spicing seeps into zesty Curacao orange peel bittering and subdued lemon meringue tartness, sidling yummy bubblegum sweetness contrasting banana-leafed plantain astringency to baguette-toasted white wheat bottom. Floral innuendoes adorn backend of refreshingly clean crisp-watered Seltzer-fizzed dilution.

(PIETRA) COLOMBA WHITE ALE

Lackadaisical moderate-bodied chartreuse-hazed Belgian-styled witbier from France brings sunny lemon zest, sour-candied tartness, and dry Kaffir lime illusions to fizzy herbal-spiced modicum. At the midst, grassy-hopped juniper berry, orange peel, and peppercorn bittering outweighs coriander-spiced browned banana sweetness. A certain something lacks throughout.

BLUE MOON GRAND CRU

Balmy limited edition Belgian-styled witbier aged and sold as boozy Grand Cru brings tangy white-peppered yellow fruiting to frisky coriander spicing of yellow-hazed medium body. Tart orange-peeled lemon-bruised white grape proliferation enhances creamy butterscotch, vanilla, and banana liqueur whir as tertiary peach, pear, and cinnamon apple illusions receive gin-soaked candi-sugared sweetening. Though opulent peculiarities mesh well, its understated warmth and overall richness deteriorate over time.

RIVER HORSE DOUBLE WIT

RIVER HORSE DOUBLE WITInstantly likable golden-hazed crystal-malted Belgian-styled witbier maintains fruit-spiced integrity. Coriander-clove spicing engages lemon zest, mandarin orange, tangerine, apricot, papaya, and pineapple illusions countering peppery-hopped orange peel bittering. Subsidiary whiskey-soured white wine tenacity overrides banana bubblegum undertones to doughy white-breaded wheat spine.

LAGUNITAS 2009 CORRECTION ALE

LAGUNITAS 2009 CORRECTION ALE‘60s hippie-cultured ‘We’re all bozos on the bus’ snicker and ‘this is not a Double IPA’ disclaimer aside, this recession-proof pale ale won’t scare away budgeted hopheads. Bright floral-fruited frontage receives piney-hopped grapefruit-peeled bittering. Tangy peach, apple, and tangerine illusions enjoined by tropical pineapple-mango seduction to rye-dried cracked wheat spine.
