New Belgium Mothership Wit

Another offering from New Belgium.  This time a selection that falls in the Belgian style ales, Wit.  This is a nice refreshing ale with a load of flavor.

Aroma - Spicy cloves upfront followed by a hint of citrus and sweet malt.

Appearance - Hazy straw yellow.  Not much head on this one, but there is a ring around the edge of the beer that laces down the glass.

Flavor - Upfront you get a crackery sweetness followed by the spicy, peppery phenols that you would expect from a Belgian yeast.  There are also hints of lemon-orange citrus and something slightly flowery or floral in the finish.

Mouth-feel - Very refreshing light to medium body.

Overall - Very nice Wit.  Belgian yeast characteristics balanced with a nice cracker-like malt.  Hints of citrus and flowers in the finish give this ale an interest depth that makes you coming back for more.  Refreshing!
