Brewers Description of this Wit Summer Beer:
“Wit, or “white” beers—so-called for their hazy appearance—are a grand old family of beers that date back a thousand years in Northern Europe. Their longevity is justified; witbiers are complex, yet subtle, dry, but creamy and always delightfully drinkable. Solstice is a carefully updated classic that starts with the traditional mix of super-pale 6-row malt, unmalted wheat and oats, giving the classic hazy appearance and rich creaminess on the palate. We use a specially selected coriander and an exotic Asian citrus called calamansi for a bright, tantalizing nose; a dash of hops add another layer of aroma. And, as with any good witbier, it is unfiltered.“
Our Review:
Solstice Wit summer beer dispenses with an appealing cloudy tangerine physique with very little head. Robust citrus and coriander notes rise from the surface. A pleasing smooth semi-sweet unfiltered wheat draw transitions into even stronger flavors on the back. A complimentary unidentifiable fruit (which is probably calamansi, tasting somewhat orange-like) surfaces in conjunction with a mild tartness.
