Bottled at Le Bier Circus, Brussels. An unclear orange beer with a thin though dense off-white head. The aroma is very fruity with peaches being strongest, but also light woody notes. The flavor is very sweet and very fruity - again peaches, but also mango, and oranges. The flavor also contains light notes of coriander and yeast.

75 cL bottle, courtesy of chris_o. Pours hazy pale yellow with a fully diminished white head. Poured as an extreme gusher showering more than half of the content out of the bottle, "pour" Tom :) Aroma is mild yeasty and wheaty with a mild spice yeasty note. Flavour is surprisingly clean wheaty and yeasty with a vague yeasty spice note. Clearly phenolic yeasty on the back of the nose. Yeasty finish with a smooth wheaty note.

Bottled. Hazy opaque yellow colour with mediumsized bubbly head. Aroma is sweet fruits, some glue, cooked vegetables and mild spices. Flavour is fruits, caramel malts, some mild vegetably hints as well as a mild sting of alcohol. Aftertaste is mainly fruity and earthy with hints of yeast. Refresing, but strange.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2008 Bottled. Hazy golden, rich airy head. Fruity nose with some pineapple Dry and spritzy, elegant and champagnelike. Underneath lures milky lime-yoghurt and grain. Citric finish without bitterness.

A very simple label, artisanal look, bringing back to memory my first travel to Belgium in 1996. Cloudy blond color. The aroma is quite fresh, a Wit; but the body is too weak, the flavor too simple, the bitterness too low. Not much effort here, expectations turned down.

Bottle, 6.5%. Mild fruity aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Very small white head. The flavour starts off fruity, turning quite citric. Has a lemony finish that is not entirely unpleasant, but neither does it seem clean.
