unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Jul 29, 2009 750ml bottle. Deep golden color. Aroma of attic and a monk’s froch. Nice wheat character, lots of grains. very hearty. Notes of lemon, fruit, oak, clove, and bready yeast. finishes with an orange peel flavor. Seems to be a bit stronger than most other Witbier. Pinball (2693), Allerød, Denmark Jul 21, 2009 pours orange with loads and loads of yeast sediments and particles. as i opened the beer it foamed up, and a lot of the sediment rose to the top. small white head.
yellow fruity aroma, also quite dry.
flavor is fresh fruity, dry, alc can be tasted, peach, citrus, indeed like a very powerfull witbier.
i wonder why rocs beers always have SO much sediment. it’s insane.
anyway, definetly one of the best witbier i’ve tasted. JanVittrup (138), København V, Denmark Jul 12, 2009 Unclear straw colour; fine head.
Sweet fruity aroma. Simple, good. Quickly gone.
Slightly sour, not sweet on the tongue. Alcohol well hidden.
Watery, tingling.
Not very interesting. Wife says second to Hoegaarden, but good.
Purchased in Barley Wine. Swalden28 (1439), McKinney, Texas, USA Jul 1, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a hazy deep gold with white fizzy head. Aroma is filled with citrus, fruit, floral, and hops. Flavor of plenty of wheat malt, citrus, floral, hops, nice balanced small hop bitter. Mouth feel is light-medium body, soft, with nice soft high fizzy carbonation. Overall, a very refreshing summer beer (or just whenever you want it). RichardW (237), Carlisle, Cumbria, England Jun 17, 2009 Bottle, Open All Hours, Keswick. A bit unsettled, so a fair haze on this golden ale. Good aromatic spice, with plenty of fruit, particularly apple and grapefruit. Quite a tang in the throat and warming on the way down, but there’s also a mellowness, especially towards the end saxo (3511), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Jun 4, 2009 Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is hazy golden with yeast sediments. Aroma and taste are yeast, malt, citrus, grain and coriander. j12601 (1151), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA May 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a creamy white head. Little grey floaties moving about. Hay, grain, citrus. Medium bodied, but light and a touch fruity. Finishes lightly, but without much fanfare. Decent, but nothing really memorable. ekstedt (2411), Göteborg, Sweden May 2, 2009 Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Shady golden, large creamy white head. Fruity orange aroma, with bready yeasty notes, and earthy hops. Some mild pepper spiciness is also there. High carbonation. Fairly dry, low bitterness.
