Whoot! It's final time in Tennessee, and I'm ready for a break from studying. I've been studying for my intro to Electronic Media class for a while now, and I'm a little burned out. The class is all about the history and progression of different forms of media with an emphasis on the internet, which I'm pretty into. The class is taught by an awesome guy by the name of Ed Spray, who besides having a massive list of credentials like teaching at Syracuse and being broadcasting director at CBS in LA, was the former president of Scripps Networks, which created networks like HGTV and the Food Network. Needless to say, I have an A in the class. And the best part is, he's a fan of my blog! But because i have these finals, updates to Whootbeer! might be a little sporadic for a bit, so bear with me. That said, it's time to do a review.
Great White pours a bright, white head that fades away after only a few seconds. Not very viscous. For an unfiltered beer, its really clear with a bright pilsner color. It smells of coriander, sage, and the usual citrus elements that come with the American Belgian White style beers. It actually tastes like a Blue Moon lite, if such a beer existed. It's got maybe a little too much carbonation for my taste, but not enough to burn. It tastes pretty thin, too, and is not very filling. But, the beer does have a lot of tastes floating around in it, which is nice. And it has all those flavors without anything being too overpowering.
I'm not a huge fan of this beer, but I can appreciate what it does right. It has a bunch of nice full flavors and would really be a nice beer to sit and relax on a beach with. The problem for me is that I'm separated from the beach by the Great Smoky Mountains. I also don't really like that it tastes like a slightly modified Blue Moon. I bet it gets better about three beers in, but what beer doesn't? To close, I would say get this beer if you are hot and like the Belgian White stile, but otherwise it isn't that great. I probably won't get it again, unless my purchasing options become extremely limited. 73/100.
