Brewed By:

Dogfish Head

Self-Defined Style:

Belgian Style White

Specifications

Strength (ABV):

5.0% ABV

A Belgian-style White made with dried organic orange slices, fresh cut lemongrass and a bit of coriander. This beer will be a great summer quencher. Namaste was brewed with Leo from Birra del Borgo in Italy as a tribute to our friends at 3 Fonteinen brewery in Belgium, who recently had devastating production loss (1/3 of their annual production!) at their brewery

Best With:

The refreshing citrus and spice character and delicate mouth feel of wheat beer makes it a great accompaniment to boiled veal weisswurst, lighter fish such as mahi-mahi, and salads made with citrus based dressing.

Appearance: Very pale straw colored body, on the pour I wondered if my bottle was ruined somehow with how pale it poured. The head is thick but fluffy and rocky creating a mess on the glass.

Aroma: Spring smelling, lots of lemon and orange citrus with a slight spice to it. Very appealing.

Flavor: Very bright and refreshing, lots of lemon in here weaving in and out with the oranges and a zesty coriander spice underlies it all. Very refreshing and easy to drink.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied but very carbonated, even the smallest sip expands in my mouth with fizzy bubbles. Very lively and exciting!

Overall Impression: This is a great beer for anyone. It’s very inoffensive and easy to drink and will be a great bridge for those who like Blue Moon to try and ease them into better flavored craft beers.
