One of a few from West Kill Brewing care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan samples Gone Afield, a wheat beer with orange, chamomile, and coriander.

STYLE: Wheat Beer/Witbier/Blanche
INGREDIENTS: Coriander, orange, and chamomile
ABV: 5.2%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)

Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd.

Hazy, medium gold/yellow with a white, fluffy head.

Orange hit first, followed by the floral notes from the chamomile before the coriander/spice element lands, with an impression of malt sweetness.

Sweet bread/honey bread meets the orange and coriander notes with a subtle floral element.

Refreshing, light and slightly off-dry, with soft, foamy carbonation.

It’s great to see wheat beers out and about. Not typically my favorite style, but when they’re well-executed, they are still pretty delightful. Pairing-wise, I would definitely go lighter on flavors, maybe goat or lightly flavored cheeses, flatbreads, or something fresh that can complement the orange, chamomile, and coriander notes.

Thanks again to @scotchfullyyours AKA Doug Zeigler (Speakeasy Conversations, Mortal Content, The Cult Bar) for sharing!

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
