Beer 365- #153 Amadeus White Beer
Pours a milky light yellow with ample white head. The nose is chock full of spice (coriander, orange peel) some lemon and citrus notes as well. Mouth is light with mild carbonation. Flavor follows the nose in the fact that the coriander hits first with the crisp citrus following behind. (4.5% ABV)

Beer 365 #145 Blue Moon Belgian White
Beer 365 #145 Blue Moon Belgian White
Pours a orange color with white head. The nose had hints of orange (of course this could have come from the orange slice that the bartender dropped in without asking), grain, wheat, citrus. The mouth is somewhat thick with little carbonation. The flavors are watered down, orange, sweet citrus, grain, coriander. People love to bash this beer because it's a Coors product and because it doesn't taste very good. Unfortunately sometimes you have limited beer choices and you have to choose the lessor of all evils. I'll take this over an Coors Light every time. (5.4% ABV)

Beer 365 #119 Harpoon UFO White
Beer 365- #119 Harpoon UFO White
Pours a hazy yellow with thick white head. Strong citrus on the nose, especially the orange element. Nice active mouth that is light bodied. Flavors are skewed towards the citrus similar to the nose. A sweet orange flavor that dominates with some honey and spice aspects fight through. All in all not a bad beer if your hanging out in the sun on a warm Summer's day. (4.8% ABV)

Beer 365 #104 Unibroue Blanche De Chambly
Back in the saddle with something light. Pours a very hazy straw yellow with minor white head. Intricate nose of, banana, citrus, spice (especially clove). Loads of active carbonation in the mouth. User freindly flavors of yeast, malt, citrus, spice and hops. All in proper proportion, none overwhelming. Not my favorite wit but very drinkable.(5% ABV)

Beer 365 #59 Schneider Weisse Hopfen Weisse
Beer 365- #59 Schneider Weisse Hopfen Weisse
Pours a hazy golden with thick dense off-white head. Fantastic complex aromas of clove, vanilla, orange, brown spice, very attractive. Pretty dense and creamy mouth with nice brisk carbonation. Great balance of flavors, nice wheatiness with hints of banana poking though, smooth malt sweetness in the mid with a clean mild hoppiness in the finish. Doesn't drink like the 8.2% that it is... this could be a good or bad thing. (8.2% ABV)

Beer 365 #56 Southern Tier Pale Wheat Ale
Beer- 365 #56 Southern Tier Pale Wheat Ale
Pours a cloudy bright yellow gold with a lacking thin head. Nose of corn on the cob? Light thin mouth feel. The flavors are mild wheat, corn up front followed by a metallic bitter finish and lingering after taste. I'm not a fan. (5% ABV)

Beer 365 #55 Bell's Oberon American Wheat
Beer 365- #55 Bell's Oberon American Wheat Ale
Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a thin white head.
Nice wheaty nose with hints of fresh citrus. A creaminess in the mouth that seems out of place for a wheat beer. Very mild flavors, hints of citrus, sour dough, dry bitter finish.
Drinkable but not my favorite example of this style. (5.8%ABV)

Beer 365 23/365 Harpoon UFO Raspberry Hefe
Beer 365- Beer #23 Harpoon UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen
Had this shot in mind and chose the beer to fit the shot. Didn't think I was going to enjoy it at all. I was pleasantly surprised. The sweet raspberry flavors were somewhat subtle. The Hefe was a clean frame to hang the refreshing fruit on. In the heat of the Summer I will definitely revisit this beer. (5.0% ABV)

Beer 365 19/365 Sam Adams LongShot Cran Wit
Beer 365- Beer #19 Sam Adam's "LongShot" Cranberry Wit...
Hmmm... My Mom always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say..."
Well.... I will say this, it wasn't awful, just not what I wanted at that moment in time. Perhaps on a sunny Fall day this beer would hit the spot. The added flavors are very subtle, which is a good thing... actually all the flavors of this beer are subtle, almost non-existent. Oh well, I have another bottle of this in the fridge, perhaps that one will hit the spot. (5% ABV)

Dogfish Head Red & White
Classic!
The wine drinkers beer. Made with a certain amount of pinot noir juice then aged in used pinot barrels. Great complexity throughout. Dry and crisp with warming notes throughout. Long lingering finish. AWESOME! (10% ABV)
