Cottonmouth

Cottonmouth Wine Details
Price:

Description: Indigenous to North Florida, it’s not hard to find this creature around the swamp. Its voluminous white head leaves wisps of lace on the glass and a subtle sweet finish that lingers. Indulge yourself with a homegrown wheat bier brewed in the Belgian tradition. Cottonmouth is brewed using traditional witbier ingredients, however, we ferment it using a Belgian wheat bier yeast that produces higher levels of esters. The result is a unique Belgian style wheat bier with a hint of the fruity esters found in a German Hefeweizen.

Varietal Definition
White/Wit Beer:
Wit beer is a style of flavored wheat. It is distinctly Belgian in origin and is still very closely associated with this low land country. Wits employ a proportion of unmalted wheat in the mash but also have flavor added in the form of curaçao, orange peel and coriander, among other ingredients. Their appearance is marked by a hazy white precipitate and these beers generally have some sedimentation.
