I rarely have more than one beer in a night, but we were at the restaurant for a while, and I wasn't driving, so I ordered a Sam Adams Cold Snap after my meal:
Vittles:
Witbier
5.3% abv
7 IBU
6 SRM
187 cal.
Score:
Appearance: 7/10
Aroma: 22/25
Taste: 36/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 4/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 85/100
Impression:
Just like with the Wells Banana Bread beer, this one had virtually no head and very weak carbonation, so I'm blaming the bar on that one -- they must not have their kegs set to the right psi. I'll have to try this one again either at a bar that has its shit together or out of a bottle for comparison. The aroma had a prominent but savory yeast quality backed by fruity, floral, spicy, bready, herbal, and earthy notes -- nicely complex and intriguing. I can taste many of the same characteristics, but the citrus (orange & lemon) comes through much more clearly, as does some plum and a golden raisin flavor that I find pleasant. Coriander rounds it out nicely with an earthy-spiciness, and it's well-balanced, refreshing, and crisp overall. I'd definitely try this again, but probably not from this bar.
Cheers!
