Mondiale 08. Pours a yellow hazy gold with a med white head. Aroma is crackery dough, light wheat malt some lemon hints, grassy cracker and dusty. Falvor is sweet syrupy malts, wheat dough, very old stale malt dust- like at the bottom of a bag of barleymalt, phenolic, grassy and lemongrass and hints of yarrow- a bit soapy in the finish.

A hazy blonde ale with a thin white head. A nice fruity aroma cloves, and bananas, with light citrus. In mouth, a sweetish malt, light boiled corn, a bit off putting, but overall nice. Tasted at Mondiale 2008, June 1 2008.

aroma of yeasty, citrus, and a touch of spice. flavours are much of the same, pretty basic wit beer, nothing special.

Appearance: Murky gold with creamy mid head.
Nose Fresh , aromatic wheat aroma. 7-.
Flavor/Palate : Clean , straight soft bodied wheat . Enjoyable , refreshing and clean . Good brew.13+/20

Objectively speaking: Unfiltered, thicker than usual witbier brewed with gentiana roots in replacement of hops.
I like: Healthy and vigorous mouthfeel. No overwhelming spice impression. Limited sweetness leaves all the room to showcase the fresh wheat bill. Refreshing.
I dislike: Fine experiment I found.

My Bottom Line:
This hopless Witbier showcases straightforward wheat and timid tropical fruit esters atop a dry and lightly earthy, herbal finish.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam covers the cloudy blond.
-The authentic aroma on this one makes you believe in their idea that a Witbier’s hops aren’t that important after all, but the finish sure suffers from this perhaps involuntary absence.
-Milky allusions protrude from the yeasty, spicy nose (coriander?).
-The body is quite healthy and the carbonation very apt, making for an efficient Witbier mouthfeel.
