Imperial White Orchard
From 06/04/11 notes. Thanks again to nimbleprop for sharing this one. Poured into a tulip. a - Pours a murky light yellow color with one inch of white head and moderate carbonation evident. s - Smells of wheat, oranges, citrus, yeast, spices, pepper, and coriander. I thought the nose was ok, but kind of average. Lots of wheat and spices; I would have liked more fruit and floral notes personally. t - Taste is very heavy on the spices. More pepper, yeast, coriander, wheat, and very ligh citrus. Not bad, but too much spice and pepper for me. A slight step down from the nose. m - Medium body and moderate to low carbonation. A little undercarbonated, but pretty easy to drink. o - Overall I thought this was a pretty average witbier. I thought it was pretty heavy on the spices in the nose and especially the taste, as well as wheat. Not awful or offensive, but I wouldn't seek it out...there are better witbier's out there.
