12 oz. Can
Westbrook White Thai pours a murky yellow with a slight white head that eventually dissolves into a thin lacing. Carbonation is visible through the murkiness. The closest thing I can think of, appearance-wise, would be pineapple juice. Up front, on the nose, I get ginger, lemon grass, and a little bit of spice - definitely delivers on the description of the beer, though there's a light citrus component as well.
First taste reveals much of the same, the ginger and some sweet wheat (it is a Belgian style witbier after all) up front, lemon grass and slight sweet citrus (mostly orange) takes over in the middle, and muddles with a bit of spice at the end. None of the flavors are particularly overwhelming or strong, and there is a nice balance. This 5% ABV beer is definitely a session ale - something you can have a couple of in one sitting and not have to worry about getting drunk off of - and the alcohol is completely hidden. Moderately high carbonation works for the style.
A nice refreshing beer to have on a hot summer day with some nice, subtle flavors to it. I just wish it had some stronger flavor to distinguish it and make me want this over any other sessionable beer.
Overall Rating: 3.25/5
