Aug 29, 2008 Bottle shipped direct. Cloudy dirty dark yellow with a light head. Dusty banana scent - faint like the dust in a kids discarded bag of marshmallow bananas. Dirty palate. Flavour is lemon, light banana and toast. No excitement on any level as expected for the style. Lemon followed by powdered banana. Lasting sour lemon. Does gain a bit through the bottle with some grassy notes.

Aug 26, 2008 Thanks Martin Italy is now complete, Page 246 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide. This is not the most dynamic of wits, faint lemon and grapefruit, and dusty bananas. The head on this beer did not hold up very long and the beer gets slightly more interesting each sip. Only 157 of MJ’s 500 Classic Beers to go.

Apr 18, 2008 Hazy yellowish with coarse vanishing head. Sweet aromas, yeasty, little spicy. Flavour is again sweet, plain, yeasty, lacks that light refreshing note that could justify picking a wit.

Dec 10, 2007 Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a muddy pale yellow - almost creamy in colour. Aroma is powerfully spiced, lots of ginger, camomille as well as grassy and grapefruit hops. Medium carbonation and a little thin. Flavour is sweet and rather spicy again. Biscuity malts mix nicely with ginger, coriander and a light fruity sweetness. Quite dry and bitter finish.
