Selin's Grove Brewing Wit

On The Beer Circle Central PA Beer Tour, I ordered a glass of Wit at Selin’s Grove Brewing Company. The beer pours a golden color with a thin bubbly white colored head. The aroma consists of lemon, grass, and a few barnyard hints. The taste is big on lemon with a nice grassy undertone. Earthiness comes out on the finish and gives great character to this beer. The alcohol content is not available online, but I would estimate it to be about 4.5% ABV. This was a wonderful beer for drinking outside on the patio in the summer, as it was refreshing and complex.

Brasserie Lefebvre Blanche de Bruxelles

At a beer pairing dinner at the Black Gryphon in Elizabethtown, I received a glass of Brasserie Lefebvre Blanche de Bruxelles with the first course. The beer pours a pale yellow color with a bubbly white colored head. The aroma is lemon, wheat, light tartness, and grass. The taste is sweet and sugary, lemon and wheat flavor. Hints of grass on the finish and it has a foamy mouth feel. The alcohol content is 4.5% ABV. The flavor of this beer was great, although a little sweeter than I expected. My only knock on the beer would be the foamy mouth feel seems out of places, but that can be taken care of with the proper food pairing.

Troegs Scratch 71- DMB Wit

I picked up a case of Troegs Scratch 71- DMB Wit. The beer was named to attempt to lure the band to the brewery on a recent concert trip in Hershey. The beer pours a pale yellow color with a frothy white colored head that leaves a little lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of thyme, coriander, lemon, wheat, and pepper. The taste is refreshing and light with a strong lemon presence. Coriander, pepper, and thyme leave a lasting impression on the tongue and provides a wonderful balance to the beer. The alcohol content is 5.2% ABV. This is one of the more refreshing wit beers that I have had, and the best of the three I have had from Troegs. I hope they continue this beer’s production some point in the future, possibly as a summer seasonal.
