Comments: Fresh, wheaty, spicy example with a refreshing citrusy acidity and various fruity undertones. Refreshing, but not too complex.
JorisPPattyn (4282), Antwerpen, Belgium Oct 1, 2007 Huge, but fast disappearing just off-white head. Cloudy orange-green beer; Faint coriander, clover, and fresh Belgian white bread. Very spicy, herbal, but with orange/citrus hints for a slight acidity. Soft mineral spring water quality, light on body and alcohol. Good! Despite the characteristics it’s rather a witbier to me. Thankfully very refreshing, easy-drinking if not really great. The Etruscan (262), Tuscany, Italy Aug 12, 2005 White weak head. Dark golden/light amber color. Aroma is moderately sweet with fruity (apricots), spicy and light sour notes. Flavor is fruity too with pear, pineapple, citrus tones, ending in a sweet, slightly sour finish. Light to medium bodied. Dorqui (1283), Brescia, Italy Jul 20, 2005 Orange clearly color, enough limpid and of medium fizz. Sweet-and-sour and pleasant scent. Notes of orange and peel of lemon, slightly spicy and spiced. Fresh taste, little alcoholic, moderate bitter and balanced. Rumors of clear orange and melon. Pungent and crisp. Lightly sourish finish. malika (37), Switzerland Apr 15, 2005 Dark blond color. Some coriander aroma, very spicy. Citrus fruits flavor, very perfumy, strong coriander, poor hopping. Short finish, with a delicate sourness.
