Batch 84 Witbier tasting notes

Taste cold

Pours light gold, slight haze, big white head uneven but just right

Aroma malt with phenolic and bitter citrus peel, very mild stone fruit background cherries

Mouth feel, very light, carb level good, good cleansing balance

Flavor orange peel first, like pith, makes it too bitter and not well balanced.  Malt is subdued but ok, hops are buried under the orange.

Finish orange peel bitter, hard to distinguish from hop bitterness, cleansing and refreshing, summery.

Overall, very good beer except too much orange peel.  Maybe only at priming, not in the boil.
