Bottle shared with jerc, mabel, GregClow & mds -- courtesy of mabel. Pours a murky golden-orange with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma’s yeasty and sweet with light spices and fruit -- quite nice! Delicious, slightly sweet flavour of yeast, citrus, wheat & spices. Average to medium bodied. A wonderful and pleasant Witbier!

Aug 31, 2008 Hazy orange colour, white head. Aroma has a lot of artificial esters, wheat and bread. Very unpleasant. Flavour has wheat and fruits. Bitter finish. The aroma ruins everything.

Aug 29, 2008 Pours dull orange with fizzy white head. Aromas are dominated by wheat and spice. Palate shows more complexity some honey and chewy caramel are present albeit subtle, while wheat brings with it a touch of sourness that complements the hinting citrus. Yeasty spice drives home the finish. Carbonation is quite lively, giving the impression of a dry finish. I can appreciate that this example is really well balanced etc but honestly I’m not that big a fan of the style.

Aug 24, 2008 Pours gold into a tumbler. Fizzy soda pop head quickly recedes to nothing. Wheat and coriander aromas. Crisp with cereal and malt upfront and a lasting citrus finish.

Aug 13, 2008 Pours a rather cloudy, opaque "muddy" orange. Lots of yeast particules present.. Medium head that dissaperas in a few minutes. Yeast is very prominent in the aroma as well as bread. You can definetly taste the cereals in this beer. Slightly citric, tarty taste. Very different kinof wheat beer. Excellent. A+ in it’s category

Hazy golden brown with a thin white head that quickly settled to nothing in a violent fizz. Lovely estery aroma with some nice fruity hops and a lick of vanilla. Similar flavour that somehow retains an Abbaye des Rocs character. Superb spicy bitterness in the finish. More blonde than wit I think but still jolly good.
