Oskar Blues Brewery Priscilla Wit

Aroma: “Gentle wheat presence, bready and balanced, then orange peel and orange creamsicle emerge, along with some lemon esters and fruity esters. Coriander and floral come through on the retronasal, and gentle banana notes appear as the beer warms.”

Flavor: “Starts with a rich, bready wheat and a touch of sweetness that gives way to a blend of citrus and peppery phenols. Incredibly fruity, with watermelon, bubblegum, cherry, and orange, balancing superbly with the spicy, peppery phenols and coriander. The soft body and the carbonation perfectly heighten the flavors. The dry finish makes you want another sip.”

Overall: “Everything is balanced, solid, and simple—it’s rich compared to other wits out there, and the touch of sweetness is a nice accent. It’s what you want and what you deserve in a wit beer.”
