2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at Baran, Bergen. The colour is hazy straw-yellow with a medium white creamy head. A distinct aroma of pepper, coriander, hay and some basement. The flavour is more strange with soap, hay and some fruit and ammonia. Has a soft and nice mouthfeel, and a light bitterness. A decent base in this ale but the flavour is a bit weird.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
On tap @ Baran Cafe, Bergen. A new local brewery in Bergen, this is so cool! :-) Let’s see what they have in store. Pours a hazy light straw body, small creamy white head. Nose is peppery soapy coriander tones, hints of earth, grains and salmiac-ish chemical tones. Taste is pale malts, coriander, sweet wheat notes and some very disturbing tones of chlorine, cooked vegetables and earthy hints in a rather disharmonic combination. Full body, soft carbonation. Weird, and not in a good way. I hope Baran gets this one right (they are still in the process of developing their recipes and brewing techniques), as this is nowhere near what a wit should taste like - or any other beer, for that matter... :-P
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at Baran Cafe, Bergen. Pours hazy yellow with a big white head. Aroma is light spicy, coriander, yeast and fruits. Taste is well balanced, with some spices and juicy citrus. High carbonated,short end.
