Alexander Keith's Premium White

       Alexander Keith's Premium White is made by Labatts and is most similar to Rickard's White and Hoegaarden. I found that it was a mediocre.


Beer:          Alexander Keith's Premium White
Beer Type:  Unfiltered Wheat Ale
Alcohol:      5% apv
Price:         $3.95 for a 473ml can


Aroma: The only aroma I could get from this was of a very fragrant floral and fruit esters. Very citrus, green apple smell. The hops I couldn't smell at all and the any spices weren't noticeable.


Appearance: Cloudy, light in colour. It's cloudy in appearance however if you linger in drinking your beer it will actually settle at the bottom, I would suggest drinking this up quickly. the head dissipated very quickly after pouring


Taste: Keith's White has mild citrus flavour. If you really look for it you can detect some spices such for flavour but they are also quite mild. It is a very clean tasting beer and very refreshing, very good on a hot summer day.


Mouthfeel: Light and watery, similar to a lot of other light beers. There was no discernible after-taste. Texturally there is no difference in this and other light beers despite it not being filtered.


Drinkability: Very easy drinking. Maybe a little too easy. Because of its mild flavour and lack of hop profile you might forget that its a 5% beer rather than a light beer, it  can sneak up on you very quickly.


      Overall the I found the beer to be very light and mild. There wasn't really enough flavour for me. There are other beers that are more flavourful that have a light crisp finish and other beers that closer reflect a traditional wheat ale. A fruity ale that takes it origins from belgian wheat and lambic ales. It isn't as flavourful as some other wheat beers but it is one that I would recommend as an introductory beer to wheat and belgian style beers, or as a good BBQ beer.
