Original 16 Prairie White

◎ Appearance

Pale straw in color with a deliberate haze born from suspension of yeast and wheat protein. The cloudiness is characteristic of the style, lending a soft, diffuse appearance. Fine carbonation generates a modest, pillowy head with gentle retention.

◌ Aroma

Orange peel and lemon dominate the nose, bright and forward. A soft peppery spice threads through the citrus, grounded by the gentle grain presence of two-row and wheat. Saskatchewan-grown coriander adds subtle herbal complexity without dominating.

◐ Taste

Wheat builds a fuller, faintly creamy mouthfeel that belies the beer's modest alcohol. Citrus and coriander flavors echo the nose with a light, refreshing quality. Tart acidity closes the palate cleanly, with negligible bitterness—the finish is quenching rather than dry.

◑ Finish

Short to medium, tart-driven closure with no lingering harshness. Lemon and a whisper of white pepper fade cleanly, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
