Maumee Bay releases Blood Orange Imperial Witbier

By Rick Published: March 2, 2012

Maumee Bay Brewing Co. in Toledo has released its new Blood Orange Imperial Witbier. “Our brewers took inspiration from a classic Witbier recipe that employs the use of unmalted white wheat and coriander spices and doubled the grain bill for a double strength take on a Belgian classic,” brewery spokeswoman Shannon Mohr said in an email. “We took it one step further by adding puree and zest of 240 pounds of blood oranges which give the beer an orange/amber hue and loads of citrus flavor and aroma.” They also added a bit of grains of paradise, which lends even more fruit layers and spice character. The beer was made as part of the brewery’s sponsorship of the The Glass City Beerfest, which benefits ARC of Lucas County and Northwest Ohio Hemophilia Society. The sixth annual Glass City Beerfest is today.
