Description:

This Belgian witbier begins with equal parts malted wheat and pale barley to create its traditional cloudy white appearance. The addition of Brettanomyces gives ANCHOR its trademark "green apple" or "horse blanket" aroma and lends tartness to the flavor and finish. At over 6% ABV, this ANCHOR's got a bit of more kick than most wits.

Appearance - 4.0

Pours 2 fingers of soapy white head, that sticks around for a good bit laving some soapy lacing. The beer is a very pale straw color with a slight haze.

Aroma - 4.0

A very pleasant aroma. Wheat, a touch of lemon and light spices. There is also an almost pineapple aroma.

Mouthfeel - 4.5

Light in body with active carbonation and a crisp finish.

Taste - 4.5

A refreshing witbier beginning. It's very similar to the taste. Wheat, lemon and a touch of coriander and spices. The brett kicks in near the finish adding a bit of funkiness to the flavor without being too out of control.

Overall - 4.5

A nice complex beer. It's very refreshing and has a high drinkability. The brett adds some nice flavors and really rounds off this beer well. Highly recommended.
