Maker: Short’s, Elk Rapids, Michigan, USA
Style: Spiced wheat ale
ABV: 4.5%
Appearance: Dark straw, cloudy and foamy.
Nose: Moroccan spicy. Coriander, Meyer lemon, hint of white pepper.
On the palate: Light bodied with lots of spice tempered with a little wheat character. Coriander, faint hints of citrus. Maybe even a little creamy.
Finish: Sweet and slightly fruity. Fades fairly quickly.
Parting words: This is a summer limited release from shorts in the vein of spiced wheat ales like Whitsun. The spice dries out (in a good way) the normally fruity wheat beer profile. It’s a fun drink, especially in late summer when thoughts of pumpkin ale are in the air. Another good solid offering from Short’s. If I have a criticism it’s that the coriander is a little too strong. I would have appreciated more citrus and pepper. At any rate, Nicie Spicie is recommended.
