Mothership Wit (Organic Wheat Beer)
12 oz bottle poured into a Stella glass. Best before October 09 on the glass. From the start I didn't like the look of this beer. It was very pale; like peach juice in water. Not very cloudy or active in the glass. Like most wit beers this has a very thin head. As far as aroma goes, the expected citrus was there. However, I detected a dried grass scent that did not blend well with the grain and malt notes. I wasn't expecting much out of the flavor based on how pale the beer was. Citrus was the strongest quality, with an earthy grain flavor coming in second. The beer is slightly bitter on the finish, but everything here is very weak. Definitely not nearly as interesting as other beers in this category. I just can't get over how light this beer really was. Even the feel of it was very light. I really like white beers, but this one is not for me. Weak and unappealing to me. (From tasting notes dated 12 Jul 2009)
