Mothership Wit (Organic Wheat Beer)
Having just recently viewed "An Inconvenient Truth" on cable, it became clear to me that I need to be drinking more organic beers...beers that are environmentally friendly, and have lower CO2 emissions. So...off I went upon a quest to find a beer that had a Soul of Green...I walked (naturally). Mothership Wit. Hello. Your recycled paper label tells me of your commitment to your environmental friendliness. I like you, and I don't even know you. I pour you into my tulip, and am wondering why your color has been removed. I know, however, that you are (in fact) in my glass because it is heavier now than when it was empty. I still like you, even if I can't see you. I slowly poured the invisible liquid into my mouth, and discovered the taste had also been removed. I'm beginning to wonder if "organic" means "everything has been removed", OR "it was never added in the first place". I don't like you so much anymore...you may be gorgeous on the outside, but you're a hollow shell of a woman on the inside. Where is your substance? If you enjoy light (and responsible) beers, this may be for you. It brings a light lemongrass, orange rind, and light-light flavor. The mouthfeel is...well...it's wet. I think I want to get in my SUV and drive 40 miles out of my way to go get something dark, malty, full of all kinds of diversity, and politically incorrect...just like we need good old reliable coal plants built in the 1950's, we can't survive on Mothership's alone.
