Name – Whirlwind Witbier
Country – United States
Type – Witbier
Appearance – Poured a hazy pale yellow color. Very thin, bubbly white head that was gone very quickly. I’m surprised I was able to capture it in the picture.
Smell – Very typical witbier smells with citrus, yeast and some spice.
Taste – Again the taste is pretty straight forward as well. Crisp citrus taste with the yeast. Some spice like coriander is present as well.
This was a good pickup for the summer. Crisp, refreshing and flavorful. This is a great beer for after a hard day of manual labor or if you are just out at the pool. I would recommend this one pretty highly as it is very close to the traditional German ones.
Overall Grade – B+

This is another one I’ve been passing over – but I always stop to think about! On one hand it doesn’t sound too special, but on the other it sounds like it nails the style which is great actually.

I haven’t purchased or tried many lately because sometimes it feels like a step backward, but I guess I should keep a more open mind.
