Obsolete Brewing's Tug of War Witbier, part of the Sportsolete series. 4.8% ABVFrom the label: Our tug of war witbier is a tribute to the sport last seen in the 1920 Olympics, held in Belgium. Tug of war, a test of strength and teamwork, brought nations together in friendly competition.
Our witbier, a Belgian classic, captures the essence of tradition with refreshing citrus and spice notes, crafted with wheat, coriander, and orange peel. It embodies our rich brewing heritage.
Appearance: Hazy with a lemon-yellow hue to it, moderate amount of carbonation in the body, and a moderate amount of snow white head on top that diminishes to a faint amount of bubbles within a moment or two. No noticeable lacing, the bubbles pretty much disappear as it gets sampled.
Aroma: A wheat-forward ale with notes of lemon, moderate amount of coriander, and of course orange peel. Some people like to add zest of orange to give this even more fruitiness, as for me I'm fine with how subtle the fruitness is. Hint of bubble gum at the end.
Taste: The tasting profile is a lot stronger than the aroma. Coriander is the first thing I get in every sip, it's a heavy herbal/spiced profile followed by a sweet orange zest as well as a hint of lemon. The beer is a tad bready and has a slight bitterness to it but as a while it's rather straight forward and easy to drink.
Overall Thoughts: It'll be exactly 19 years this month when I fell in love with Belgian witbiers. The style can be all over the place where you can get one that's overly spiced and another that's overly full of orange zest. This one is light but balanced for me.
