I love this Brewery! I was just there this Saturday and I had a blast. Most of there beers are hard to find depending where you live in California. The Bruery brews beer that can be drank now or you can have the choice to age them a few months or year's for a better tasting beer down the road. Today I'm reviewing Their Orchard White which is a Belgian Style White Ale. This beer is brewed to some high standards, but I think It falls short compared to their other beers, but White Orchard is still a very solid offering. Orchard is brewed with spices,oats, and its fair share of wheat. Its priced well, so even if you don't like it you don't feel like you spent your money poorly. The ticket price on this is $7.99 for a 750 ml bottle. This beer drinks best out of a tulip glass so don't even bother trying a pint because it totally looses flavor and body.
Color: cloudy white. Very pale with pale white head.
Nose: plenty of citrus here. orange,tangerine and maybe some light grape fruit. Hints of lavender patrol the background of this beer. Somewhere on the nose you get some bread like flavors.
Palate. Even though you get lots of citrus on the nose on the beer does not have a tart or sour flavor. Its a light bodied beer with plenty of character.
Finish: The lavender is very evident on the finish and the citrus is in the back end. the finish is short but quite crisp.
Rating: 89 out 100
Notes: great summer beer and awesome to pair with sea food.
The lavender was immensely strong and put a damper on the drink for me. But the alchohol content does kick in quickly which is kinda convenient to forget the bummer of the floral taste and you are too buzzed to care.
