Joining the Mothership

The first time I enjoyed a Mothership Wit was during a celebratory post-half-marathon breakfast at Hash House A Go-Go. Both me and my running mate were borderline delirious after 13.1 grueling miles at Red Rock Canyon, and while the first sips were absolute heaven, I was beyond buzzed halfway through the glass.

A delicate brew in the style of a Belgian white ale, the Mothership Wit has proven itself time and again since that initial, dubious tasting session. The first organic beer from the good people over at the New Belgium Brewing Company, it is crisp and light with just a hint of citrus. The exemplary summer beer, this brew goes down easy -- though my intentions were merely to reacquaint my taste buds with the MW during a recent "tasting session," I found myself accidentally killing three bottles in rapid succession. Oh well. I'm not mad at you, New Belgium.
