Jul 19, 2009 A new beer from Du Bocq brewery which has mandarin, lemon and lime flavourings.
This surely cant be classed as a beer, as it tastes and feels like sparkling water mixed with some squash. It is low on alcohol but doesn’t feel even vaguely alcoholic. It is marketed as refreshing on hot days, and was drunk on a hot day, and to be fair didnt taste revolting like some fruit beers. The appearance was carbonated amber, with little to no head, and it tastes exactly as its advertised - citrus piffle

Jul 15, 2009 Fluffy transparant-white head, fed by lively carbonated hazy Isabel-coloured liquid. Partly artificial version of grapefruit/orangepeel. Grapefruitpeels (between the parts) getting stronger. Faint sour-sweet and bitter peelhints - in the nose, always. Very sweet, lightly sourish flavour, reminding me of citrus-"enriched" dishwashing liquid, after thinning. No trace of bitterness left, childrens’ sweets-like. Light, spritzy, soft-drinks feel. As terrible as expected.
sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA
Jul 2, 2009 25cl bottle.
pours very clear golden, thick white head.
aroma of strong gapefruit, lime and hints of mandarine, reminds me of freshner.
taste, mandarine, light and smooth with some light bittersweet hints in the finish.
Felt like drinking a refreshing tonic or lemonade, hints of wheat.
Label refers to it as a wit bier, not a fruit beer.
