Wits used to be one of my favorite styles, but of late I’ve been enjoying them less so I was pleased when this one was better than expected.
On-tap at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA.
Classic, lemon yellow, hazed pour with an attractive, dense looking head and some superb lace. The mouthfeel seemed to add an extra dimension compared to many examples of the style. A bit fuller than usual.
All the classic Wit notes with an extra dimension of mild tart apples. The extra “funk” associated with this beer tends to make it lean toward a less well defined Wit and perhaps even over into Saison categories. It reminds me very much of a mild (yet funky) Devonshire Cider. Definitely barnyard notes in the nose and the taste.
As I say, a little out of the ordinary for the style, but in a good way – tasty. Drinkability was good on a warm Atlanta afternoon.
