I've been drinking this beer for about 3 weeks now trying to find something spectacular about it, but I must say that so far this beer has really come up short in about every category. I expect awesome beer to come out of this excellent San Francisco brewery. White Lightning, is a American style wheat beer (which by the way falls under the ale category) that is brewed with coriander seed and curacao orange peel. Its bottled at 5.2 percent alcohol, which is about right for a wheat beer, and it comes in a 6 pack.
Appearance: Almost a true white color,but it is more pale orange color. It has little to no head at all and what does appear fades away quite fast. It also contains very little carbonation.
Nose: Surprise! Surprise! scents of orange and other citrus appear. Also evident are spices: light Cinnamon and possibly some vanilla.
Finish: its in your mouth and like a flash its gone. not much there at all very lackluster.
Notes: Not worth the price you pay for this 6 pack(9.99). For the price you can do a lot better and save a lot more money. This beer is only good if its the only thing avaliable and you want a wheat beer,but still better than shock top or pyrimid and widmer.
Rating: 85 out off 100
It is not better than a widmer or pyramid. It is weak sauce from the start. At best it is on par with Shock Top.
