Light banana and yeasty aroma. Little hazy, yellow color, white head, good lace. Very light sweet, hint of banana, little yeasty, wheat, light bitter finish, light to medium body.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. A gusher. It poured a cloudy gold/orange with thin beige head. Bit of puke on aroma, not a great smelling or looking beer. Yeasty aroma, puke in mouth. Not great.

33cl, retired beer, last tasted one year ago, from Geers Oostakker, easy to drink, not complex, cloudy, good head, nice brew

Bottle. Light light unclear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, light malty, wheat, toffee, light hoppy, citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to lively. (041007)

Bottle, 33 cl. @ the Spytigen Duvel. Cloudy dark golden color, big white head. Aroma fruity, a hint of porto, malts. Medium body. Taste = hoppy a bit coriander, fruity touch and spicy + bitter finish. Nice for a "witbier", but for me it’s not a witbier more a special.

Bottle, 6.2%. Distinct orange juice aroma. Quite cloudy orange colour, some grey and green. Stable and creamy white head. Sparkling, high carbonation. Some good bread notes in the flavour in a good combination with subtle apricot fruitiness. Yeasty aftertaste. Quite peppery for the ABV. Strange, but nice.

Light golden yellow coloured with a large white head bursting out of the bottle. Lots of carbonation. Hoppy herby aroma. Full herby palate. Finish is fruity, herby, rather strong bitter with a long sweeter dry ending. Not bad, rather different Belgian white.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, amber golden with a tall, dense, handsome, white head leaving laces. Soft aroma of malt and fruit - cherry plums perhaps? Very soft mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with lightly sweet malt accents. Dry finish. 200107

A Sim rate (Bottled from the Belgian Belly): Complex aroma. Mango chutney with a hint of sour milk, nutmeg, gooseberries and christmas cake. Cloudy, hella chunky and slightly lacey appearance. Looks almost like a peach spritzer. Initial hit of alcohol but the palate is a little thin so you miss out a little on the flavour. Subtle fruity tones and spicy finish. Nothing like any other witbier I have tried!

Bottle, BBE September 2007 Clear, amber body. Off-white frothy head, which lasts mostly. Nose of yeast, oranges, pineapple, flowers, ... Moderately bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic finish. Not superb balanced. Not very bad either. Nothing special.

Pale golden colour with a big white head. Some sweetness in the aroma, but unfortunately not much aroma. The taste is very acidic and malty in the aftertaste. (Bottle 33cl)
