Bottled on April 21, 2010, batch 4, bottle 359 of 472.
Pours cloudy with several inches of meringue, white foam. Retention is average with nary any lacing.
Aroma is Belgian yeast with spice scents. Pear or white grape are deep in the beer but not much else.
This is old and musty with a bit of off spice. Nothing good really here.
This is water. Pure water with yeast.
A year or so ago I was really searching for White Birch beers and was excited to land a few. Now not so much. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
This straw colored beer greets with an aroma of noble hops, pears and Belgian esters. The flavor follows nicely with a moderately spicy hop and Belgian yeast effect buoyed by a soft malt body. The finish is crisp and dry. We enjoy this beer with spicy foods, grilled steaks, grilled chicken and mandarin salad. Where you take it is only limited by your imagination. For those interested in styles, the name of this beer comes from the color over trying to meet any particular style.
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." - Cliff Clavin, of Cheers
