Witbier (White Gold) - Barkerville Brewing Co. - $5.70

Mood: Chill Thursday night making a desicion between going to a conference tomorrow in Seattle or staying in Vancouver and planning my weekend. 

Where to Buy: BC liquor

Price: $5.70

Beer Type: witbier

Ingredients: 

Country: Canada (Quesnel, BC)

%: 4.9%

ml: 650ml

Appearance: cloudy yellow, like gold! (No joke)

Smell: like hoegarten, sweet, refreshing.

Taste: like hoegarten (they all kinda taste the same), sweet with a slight white wine taste and apricot taste, slightly bitter the more I drink

Mouthfeel: tough on the tongue at first and then turns into a light cream

Finished: light and slightly bitter the more I drink it. The bitterness can get old fast.  Goes away after about 20 seconds. 

Overall: Not bad. I like the packaging as well as the cheap price tag (for BC at least) and it's a nice witbier, honestly at this point they all taste the same to me.  Lighter than other beers so does not give me much of a buzz.

Smell: like cheap beer from undergrad (keggers)

Taste: not really sure, tastes like normal beer, but much more bitter, and I dont taste pumpkin or spice, unless that's the bitter taste....

Mouthfeel: 

Finished: bitter but wait... there it is!  I taste some pumpkin and some spice! score!

Overall: Not a fan.  It tastes cheap.  I know that wasn't the effect that it was going for, but seriously. Its super bitter in the mouth (not IPA hops bitter, just bitter beer bitter) and there is no pumpkin or spice to be had except for the lingering aftertaste.  Boo.
