Point Belgian White

Brewery: Stevens Point Brewery
Supplier: Beer52

The fifth oldest, privately owned, brewery in the USA with production in the UK (which is where this bottle is from). This is their year-round Witbier made with barley, wheat, and oats. Flavoured with Noble Hallertau and Saaz hops along with Curacao orange peel and coriander
Appearance: A cloudy, pale yellow (not gold) colour with a slightly thick white head that thins quickly
Aroma: A very typical but sweet Witbier nose, with corn, citrus and a floral note present.
Flavour: The corn notes are coming through, but not unpleasantly, with some spicy notes. However, they taste like they are watered down.
Body: Medium body with a solid finish, a bit too fizzy for me, but again that is just my preference. 
Aftertaste: That tangy spice of a witbier.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, its got good flavours but it tastes like a nice witbier watered down. Pleasantly drinkable, but that is it; like flavoured water.

Price Range: After my first Beer52 subscription I got a £10 off voucher, giving me 8 beers for £14 (usually £24), so that would make this approximately £1.75 for a 355ml bottle; good price, would get it if I was going to drink a lot.

Food Pairings: Some salty breaded white fish would go well, or even calamari.
