Barons Lemon Myrtle Witbier is the real Australian version of Belgian-style white beer. Flavoured by native Australian Lemon Myrtle, this beer is a perfect balance of zesty lemon rind and ripe citrus fruit flavours. Being bottle-conditioned, this cloudy ale is lively on the palate yet surprisingly smooth.

Bottle. Good carbonation, medium head, cloudy yellow colour. Lemon myrtle aroma and taste. Great beer, would buy again!

Bottle from a local Grocery Outlet store. Pours hazy medium gold with a two finger frothy white head. Aroma is a very strange lemon. Medium body with lightly creamy carbonation. The flavor is almost lemon perfume - but with a weird aspect. "Lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is a citrus-fragranced spice that is native to coastal regions of Australia." That tells me a lot. I think this could grow on me, but it might take awhile. Unique!

Actually pretty good, but something about the mouth feel wasn’t so great. Just enough lemon to be a nice flavor, unlike the Summer Shandy.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden. Herbal, oily, almost soap-like lemony aroma. Flavor is mild and dry, great herbal, eucalyptus-like flavors and mild bitter flavors in the background. IMO this beer was absolutely intriguing. Great local take on the style for this ozzie brewery.

330ml bottle. Poured a medium and cloudy (especially towards the bottom of the bottle) yellow color with a large sized white head. Aromas of lemon zest, spices, and some lighter wheat. Tastes of wheat, citrus, and spices.

(12oz bottle thanks to mar) Pours cloudy yellow with nice head. Over carbonated. Nose is coriander, lemon peel oil, finish is quite dry. Taste is lemony as well, but overall very low on flavor.

12oz bottle. Pale hazy yellow, with a thick foamy head. Lots of fizz bubbling up. Aroma of lemon and wheat. Flavor is a little thin but pleasant. Heavily carbonated. Overall, a nice summer afternoon beer.

I drank this on a really hot day, so I’m probably overstating the "refreshing" aspect of this beer. But it faitly tasy, with a lot of lemon flavor (as one might expect), with some herbal and winey flavors in the finish. Not bad.
