One of the most refreshing beers I’ve tasted, a real match for Hoegaarden as a witte. Nothing special about the citrus and light taste but still a good one.

(Bottle 25 cl) A very unusual witbier. Clear and not hazy with a rather strong alcohol. Some odd, dry sweet’n’sour notes. An off bottle? 190896

Bottle. High creamy and lasting white head. Hazy orange body. Strong wheat malt aroma with herbal notes rather than fruity. Oranges, appless and coriander in the flavor which is otherwise astonishingly carbonated and has a long sweet aftertaste.

bottle from beerplanet.eu. cloudy yellow, smooth large white head. dusty, soapy aroma. not very citrussy, more grassy. flavor is herbal, grassy, very slightly flowery, faint sweet malty.

Sampled as Witte Ezel in the US, 6.5% ABV. Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy light yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers), with a note of orange. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Not much going on in the nose, and too much bitterness for the style.

Sweet, abricot aroma. Cloudy orange appearance with a thin white head. Taste is sweet and sour, fruity (abricot, citrus). Not much in this one. Fresh palate.

Bottled (BB 04/2009)
Hazy yellow color, small creamy white head. Coriander and grainy wheat dominate the aroma. Yeasty coriander-wheaty flavor with hints of orange. A bit sour. Spicey aftertaste. Not very refreshing witbier.

Smokeless Joe’s. Whitish head on ligh coloured body, and lots of lace dots left. Neutral aroma. The mouthfeel is thin, the wheat has a bit of bitterness, and this is very drying. Drinkable beer, but minimal on taste, poor for style.

Dark yellow colored, strongly hazy appearance. Little white head. Thin aroma: orange, mild corriander and sweetness. Thin to medium bodied. Spices, mild orange in flavor, aftertaste lasts with mild orange and dryness. Some lace in glass.

Bottle @ Poatersgat, Brugge. Pours a slightly hazy pale golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity wheat malty aroma with hints of citrus. Fruity malty slightly yeasty citrus flavor. Has a fruity malty finish with some hints of citrus in the aftertaste.
