Mikkeller Vestebro Wit Witbier at 4.5% ABV (C$5.80 at Sherbrooke Liquor, 330 ml, best before 13-Oct-2017, acquired 17-Dec-2016, reviewed 9-Jul-2017)
Appearance: opaque pale gold with two fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: orange peel, coriander, doughy wheat, herbal, earth. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter, light tart. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, crisp lightly spicy and tart finish. (4/5)
Tasty! Given the BB date, I assumed this thing was on the older side, so I made sure to give it the bottle a good roll and swirl before uncapping and trying an inverted/submerged pour. Complete success: I got the requisite “white” colour, and a nicely towering fluffy white head that retained well. Bright citrus and pleasant spice led the way over doughy wheat and an herbal, earthy end. (16/20)
