Picked up a Keith's sampler containing three of their brews, including this one which I had never had before.

Pouring it into a standard beer mug produces a one-finger head that wastes no time dissipating into a thin ring. The beer itself looks like cloudy apple juice, except with a constant stream of bubbles percolating to the top, indicating heavy carbonation. The bubbles become far less dense once the beer has had time to settle, though. Looks appetizing enough. Smell is a little disappointing - has some fruity overtones, but other than that it smells pretty much like any macro lager.

The first sip reveals it to be a rather watery concoction, and surprisingly enough the carbonation is kind of subdued. The taste is dominated by (unsurprisingly) wheat, yeast, and some barely-noticeable citrusy notes. The label claims there is spice in here, but I couldn't taste it. This beer is extremely smooth, and I can easily see myself pounding several of these back.

I think I can safely say that this is by far my favourite offering from Keith's so far. That being said, it's still pretty uninteresting for the style, and I have definitely had better witbiers. If I buy Keith's again, it'll probably be this.

At last this version of Alexander Keith's has some flavour. However, compared to almost every other white/wit beer out there this is truly a pathetic attempt. I'm not sure why the macros even try.

Alexander Keith's Premium White

The look of it: Nice color like a Witbier, but lots of carbonation about almost 2 fingers of head not like a Witbier.

The smell of it: Nothing. Very disappointing.

The taste of it: A bit of orange and citrus but very light. Goes very fast. The aftertaste is watery, there is not much left.

So overall would I recommend it? No ! Go buy a Hoegaarden, you won t go wrong with it.

This beer is my definition of "okay". It's safe, but nothing special. It had a very plain feeling to it but I still can enjoy a bottle or two.

The mouthfeel is very soft and it is mildly carbonation. I actually like the taste to an extent-there's really nothing wrong with it aside from the fact it taste's a tad bit "watery" but not to an obvious extent.
