Pours straw and opaque/cloudy. No sedimentation. Spicy orangy taste with sour notes. Good head. Very refreshing and very good for a beer that belongs to a major brewery. Very good witbeer.

Poured from a bottle, a light straw color, thin white head that disipates quickly. Not much aroma to speak of which is kind of disappointing. Flavor has the orange peel, a slightly sweet maltiness, balanced quite well with a touch of hops and yeast. A good brew. I wonder why it took so long for me to try it.

I must say I was almost not taking this one serious due to the extreme hype that it was made for me about it. Fortunatly, me foolness passed: what a pleasant surprise! Poured opaque light orange with a pretty white foam. The aroma got me with a lot of hop herbs, some yeastiness and even some citrus: pinapple and some orange; some sourness. The flavor came with little sourness coming with little sweetness as well, very well balanced. Some orange peel, little malty and mainly hoppy flavor, refreshing mouthfeel and aftertaste, that lacked a little more taste in it. Quite nice introduction to the witbiers for me! / Devo dizer que tinha algum preconceito com essa cerveja, dado o tanto que falavam pra mim dela. Felizmente, deixei de ser bobo: que surpresa agradável! Derrama laranja claro opaco com uma boa espuma branca. O aroma veio com bastante lúpulo (ervas), algo de levedura e ainda um pouco cítrico: abacaxi e laranja; algum azedume. O sabor trouxe um pouco de azedo e um pouco de doce, muito bem balanceado. Trouxe também algo de raspas de laranja, pouco malte e bastante sabor de lúpulo. A sensação na boca e no retrogosto é bem refrescante, mas faltou um pouco de sabor no final. Uma introdução muito boa das witbiers pra mim!

Bottle. Pours Light straw with a thick fluffy white head. Orange, spices, yeast aroma. Light slightly malty, orange peel taste with a little bit of dryness. Very nice, refreshing wit.

Draft. Very hazy, light straw color with a big soapy white head. Smells of sourdough. Nice refreshing sourness, orange, and spice. A bit of a lemonade flavor. Really refreshing stuff and super easy to drink.
