What Is Drifters Belgian White Beer?

Drifters Belgian White is a hazy wheat beer with a smooth mouthfeel and a profile of citrus and spice. It's described as being bright with notes of Curacao orange peel and a touch of coriander which adds a little warmth yet not dominating the beer's easy drinking nature. 

Belgian White at 4.6% ABV is a beer that's very much designed to be eaten with a wide variety of food, from the full on festive meal right through to the more casual party food. It's a beer with a citrus and coriander character and is an alternative for those who would rather have a wheat beer than a standard lager.

What Is Drifters Mexican Crisp Beer?

For the lager drinkers out there Drifters Mexican Crisp offers a refreshingly crisp with very gentle fruity and floral notes, a very light beer. There's a soft grainy sweetness to it which provides some balance and the finish is very crisp. 

Mexican Crisp is also at 4.6% ABV, same as the Belgian White. They're very different in flavor though as  The Belgian White is all citrus along with the warmth of the coriander seeds. Mexican Crisp is all about the fruitiness, the floral notes and a clean finish. Drifters position both as beers for festive meals, house parties etc.

What Makes Drifters Brewing Company's Beers Different?

One of the things Drifters point to is the marriage of craft beer flavor with the stability of commercial beer. Both the Belgian White and the Mexican Crisp are pasteurized and shelf stable. They're stable enough to retain the beer's character and are a product you can count on.

The company also states that neither beer contains any added preservatives or additives. For Drifters the idea is to provide packaged craft beers that are convenient for any occasion whatsoever without in any way sacrificing the flavor. That's very much in line with the brand's festive positioning as both beers are positioned as being perfect for everything from a quiet night in to a big house party.
