Day 331: Razor Wit

Name: Razor Wit

Brewer: Highland Brewing Co. (Asheville, NC)

Classification: Witbier 

Alcohol: 4.5%

Thoughts: I've just noticed that this is my 4th Wheat Beer in a row. But there is good reason for this. It's summertime. As the days get brighter so do the beers. Porters, Stouts and Dubbels go away and Witbiers, Saisons, and Hefeweizens come out to play. This Witbier is simple and straightforward. The pour is copper and the head is foamy and off-white. The nose is full of citrus, spice, and life. It is a great smell on a warm summer evening. The taste follows the same stream of thought. The citrus is bright and the hops are fruity. Highland uses fresh wheat and lots of clove to act positively with the Belgian Yeast. Of all the Wheat Beers I have had this week this has been the best. If is really well brewed from the first sip to the last.
