Forager Saint Francis Witbier with dandelions

Forager Saint Francis Witbier with dandelions. 5.8% ABV, 13 IBU. Forager Brewing, Rochester, MN.

Hazy, golden-toned, slim white head.

In the nose: big citrus, Belgian yeast, some spice. Quite delightful.

In the mouth: Juicy stuff. Plump and flavor citrus flavor, orange zest, with a side of coriander. (But what's this about a "secret spice blend"?) Smooth and highly drinkable. And then there's dandelions, which are not prominent in the flavor, if they appear at all. But, they add to the mystery.
Beautiful interpretation of a wit. Divine.

When held to the light this ale shimmers whitish gold. Aromas of orange zest and coriander pop out of the Belgian ale. Gentle spices dance on a mild wheat based malt body. Our secret spice blend makes this classic Belgian white ale smooth and refreshing.
