Bottle from Party Source. Poured hazy yellow color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium orange citrus and yeast aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and lively carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting refreshing brew.

Fruchtig hefiger Antrunk mit kurzem Kohlensäureschub. Anschließend eher milder wobei die Hefigkeit den dichtesten Ton darstellt. Die Fruchtnoten versiegen schnell, als Ersatz sind Kräuternoten vorhanden. Erfrischend aber wenig intensiv. In Ordnung. 7/8/8/7/7/7

Pours a transparent pale golden with a small frothy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale wheat with some coriander spice. Starts with average fullness and light wheaty sweetness with some subtle coriander and orange zest. Finishes smooth and slightly more bitter. An ok witbier.

Bottle. Pours with a hazed golden color with particles and a minimal white head. Aroma is sticky, sweet, coriander and citrus fruit juice, champagne and wheat. Taste is dry citrus fruits and wheat with seltzer. A bit perfumey. Very bland. Fizzy and dry. Forgettable.

Odd witbier, its in the style, with some citrus flavour. Very foamy with medium yellow body. Spicy lemony aroma. So-so drinkability. Extra in trade.

Bottle courtesy of Durhambeer. pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Smells of coriander, ginger, earthy. Tastes of citrus and coriander, but lacking any depth. Watery mouthfeel.
