Beer of the Week: St. Cloud Belgian White

Beer score: 2.2

Company: World Brews

ABV: 5.4
IBU: 12

Has a light, dirty straw color as it comes out of the bottle and hits the glass. The smell is kind of noxious, and the taste doesn't improve it any. There's some citrus accents in the smell, just a little, and that is stronger in the flavor once you sip. There's a little bit of a wheat taste here, but that's overpowered by a sour bitterness that quickly explodes any potential for this beer to be good. Honestly, this is without a doubt the worst beer with the words "Belgian White" on its label that I've ever had.

Apparently this beer is brewed only for sale at Whole Foods, but I would've thought the folks at Whole Foods would have known better considering their clientele and the drinks they generally have to offer. Whole Foods, you can do better, and your customers deserve better.

On the plus side, this beer is relatively cheap compared to the other Belgian Whites available, but since it's so bad and has so little in common with other Belgian Whites, I can't say it's a bargain.
