To wedge or not to wedge.....

July 18, 2018 by Douglas Mayo in Beer Reviews

Artisanal Brew Works in Saratoga Springs, NY is a small up-and-coming brewery started by two friends in 2016. Initially they followed their love for Belgian beer and branched out from there. Being that it's Summer, a Witbier (White Beer) is a lighter alternative to the craft beer staple of an IPA.  It's a refreshing way to go on these 90 degree humid days.

I opened a can of WHITE IN THE GLASSES and poured it into a pint glass.  You first note its cloudy appearance and the impressive head.  It presents with a nose of coriander and orange peel.  You taste the spices as well as an almost nutty flavor.  It has a beautifully silky mouth feel that is the hallmark of a good Witbier.

The question is...to wedge or not to wedge...a slice of lemon or orange is a controversial topic.  My feeling is do what you want.  The first can I tasted I went naked, the second with a healthy edge of fresh lemon. Either way, you can't go wrong.

You can reach the brewery through www.artisanalbrewworks.com.
