Beer blogging: New Belgium Mothership Wit

[feuervogel]

Mothership Wit is a Belgian-style white beer, brewed with wheat and spices (typically orange peel, coriander, cloves, and/or cardamom.) It's also certified organic (USDA and Oregon Tilth.)

I bought it in a 22-oz bottle, for $3.50. Pretty good price, considering that my favorite Belgian white, Hoegaarden, costs about $10 for 6 11-oz bottles.

It's not as good as Hoegaarden, but it's got a similar flavor. Somewhat sharper, maybe? Possibly cardamom, which has that sharp, astringent flavor to it.

I would recommend this to people who like Hoegaarden but don't like its price tag.

That sounds really good. I approve of cardamom.

You get bonus points for liking Hoegaarden :D

Witbier and Weißbier are love.
