Samuel Adams Imperial White
Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. It pours a hazy light copper color. A 1 inch beige head forms and reduces to a nice lacing. No sediment and carbonation is readily visible. The smell was somewhat weak to me but had a nice component of orange peel and some coriander. Actually, it seemed maltier smelling overall. A healthy dose of alcohol while drinking. The taste was decent. A good blend of caramel malts mixed with some coriander and a nice/tangy orange peel component. A citrussy hops component is definitely present. The mouthfeel was also reasonable. A good level of carbonation highlights the flavor nice. It is fairly smooth and somewhat sticky at the finish. An alcohol astringency is present at the finish. This is fairly full bodied. Overall, I was a bit surprised and actually enjoyed this beer, as I am not the biggest fan of witbiers. It has reasonable flavor and it's thick enough to appeal to my stout loving side. Overall, worth a try at the minimum and I will likely have a few more to enjoy.
