Lost Coast Brewing 'Great White' Ale. 4.8% abv. Hazy golden color with a finger of white bubbly head. Good retention, moderate lace. Nose of earthy hops, wheat, bread, faint citrus. Front taste of sweet biscuit, light malt, hop bitter, coriander. Aftertaste of wheat grain, light sugar, spice on the sustain. Light-medium body. Mouthfeel is chewy, slightly sticky, bubbly.
This is a very good wheat beer. The aroma is hoppy with a touch of spice, followed by tastes of sweet breads and an aftertaste of fresh wheat. There are other wheats out there that stand taller than this beer, but it's still an excellent example of its category and worthy of your glass. Recommended.
From the brewery:
"A Crisp beer with a hint of citrus, made with two-row malted barley, unmalted wheat, a secret blend of Humboldt herbs, crystal clear mountain water and ale yeast."

"This light, citrus like beer is made with two-row malted barley, unsalted wheat, coriander, a secret blend of Humboldt herbs, crystal clear mountain water, and ale yeast. To serve, we suggest you pour all but the last two fingers of beer into your favorite glass. Swirl the remaining contents in a vigorous circular motion, chant the affirmation of your choice, then pour the delicious, nutrition yeast into your glass. Enjoy! Keep refrigerated, serve while fresh."
