Pale yellowy Wit haze, white rim. Enticing sharp yeasty snout with an edge of sourness, banana esters, almost leafy coriander, biscuity pale malt, herbal hop, chick pea. Mouth silky, peppery, drying into a firm bittering hop finish. Yeasty, citrussy, hints of pine and antiseptic hop. Nice balance of spice, malt, hop and wheat like a hopped-up, more characterful Zot. Not bad.

33cl, from Geers Oostakker, complex brew, not balanced, hazy, good head, nice brew

Bottle, thx to fonefan. It pours a slighlty hazy, golden body with a white to off-white head. Nice fruityness on the nose, with some pale malt and generic grains. Sweet and fruity Belgian style in the mouth, with a little spicyness and pale malt. Medium, quite fizzy mouthfeel, and a fruity finish with some notes of spicyness. A quaffable beer that doesn’t stand out at all. (080412)
