Another bunch of sample goodies came my way this week, more from Wisconsin. Two bottles and a can, one bottle which I'd already tried 3 years ago (Luna Coffee Stout). So, let's check out the first of 2 new brews from Green Bay, Wisconsin's Hinterland. And once again, it's a style I'm still "iffy" about.
Hinterland White Cap White India Pale Ale. One pint, can. No ABV found, if it's given.
Hazy, clouded, pale yellow, beautiful, crystalline snow-cap head, lace-leaving, long-lasting.
Aroma: Lovely blend of coriander and citrus zest. Ah! Belgian yeast funks it up, too. Not getting anything in the way of hops, really.
Taste: Okay, here they are. Hops are bouncing on top, with the Belgian yeast character and witbier flavorings keeping them company. Medium-bodied, smooth, wheat, malty, with hop bitterness laying low after it's initial pounce. Refreshing, easy-drinking, with enough of a hop bite to keep my taste buds tingling.
Okay, here's another one I liked. More of these, please.
