Sam Adams White Lantern

I've got a few beers in the 'fridge that look ahead to the warmer Spring & Summer months, and this is one of them. Also from the Spring Thaw variety pack, White Lantern is a Belgian style Wit brewed with spices, it pours with a frothy white head and has an apricot-like hue. Tangy Belgian yeast provides most of the taste, with a some lemony brightness sneaking in. Pretty full-bodied, yet light and refreshing. If you pay attention, you might detect some peach and some peppery zip as well. A more complicated brew than I had expected; I was pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to a few more of these later in the season.
