Shiner / Spoetzl Brewery White Wing

**Aroma:** “Very light wheat with notes of coriander and a little bit of hop spice blended with slight sweetness and subtle hop notes. Mainly coriander and pepper notes.” **Flavor:** “Moderate sweetness with a strong bittering finish. Significantly more hop bitterness than would be expected for the style. Complex for a wit, with slight sweetness and herbal earthy notes. Sweet citrus in the finish. Big body despite carbonation and crispness. Almost a viscous mouthfeel.” **Overall:** “Wheat and spice character are well done, but the hop utilization or timing adds a bitterness that’s atypical for the style. A refreshing and different take on a wit. More spiced than usual but still finishes with sweet citrus. Good, crisp, refreshing beer.”

**Aroma:** “Light, malty wheat sweetness accented by barely there coriander and orange. Some light floral and spice notes. Nose is hard to detect, almost absent. More spice than wheat.” **Flavor:** “Malty sweet with some acidity and some coriander. Nice sweet profile of fruity notes, orange, citrus with floral and pepper notes. Medium wheat character and balanced earthy hops flavors. Slight slickness on the tongue. Finish is sweet rather than crisp but has good acidity.” **Overall:** “Tastes carbonated despite no head. A crisp version of a wit. Nice sweetness and easy drinking. This beer could be excellent with a little more crispness and a little residual sweetness.”

**Aroma:** “Very interesting, unexpected spice aroma. Sweet background wheat with lemon, almost like lemon candy. Very faint and earthy hop notes. Nice floral coriander.” **Flavor:** “Peppery phenolic notes. Some yeast character and coriander with a carbonic bite and some bitterness. Strong wheat graininess, but finishes crisp and clean. Balance is exceptional: fruity tartness is the prominent feature. Good blend of spice and earthy notes with creaminess from wheat malt.” **Overall:** “An interesting take on the style. Crisp and refreshing. Excellent beer that accents both the wheat and lemon character well. Refreshing wit with nice balance of sweet and spice. This would pair really well with certain types of food, especially Cantonese.”
