Damm S. A. Estrella Damm Inedit Witbier at 4.8% ABV
Pours a hazy straw gold with one fat finger of fluffy white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, moderate lacing. Nose is coriander, clove, orange peel, sweet malt, faint flowery hops. Taste starts lightly sweet, finishing citrus and bitter. Medium to light body, low sustained carbonation, and a slightly spicy aftertaste.
Decent enough witbier, but nothing really stands out about it. I can’t say I really get much of the liquorice aroma the label claims, but orange peel and coriander definitely make an appearance, and there’s a lingering mild spiciness. Nicely drinkable, and definitely a serviceable patio beer, but not really the rare gem the packaging would have you believe.
My 80th from the 2010 Edition of 1001 Beers (retired from the 2013 Edition) and 82nd overall.
