A hazed blonde witte with a thin creamy off white head. In aroma, a lightly citrusy coriander malt with light epsom slats. In mouth, a nice spiced wit with a smooth coriander character, a bit light, but refreshing. Bottle at Bieres et Saveurs, Sept 2 2012.

750 mL bottle courtesy of obguthr at the 19th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering. Ppurs a slightly hazy straw yellow, medium creamy white head. Decent head retention. Bready, doughy citrus, stone fruits, spicy finish. The taste is stone fruits, bread, citrus, spice. Medium bodied, creamy.

Tastes like it came form belgian, other than that I can’t say much, it is a mild and unoffensive witbier.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow ale with white haze and a medium size foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of coriander and light orange peel is quite dominant. Taste is a mix between nice coriander and orange peel notes with medium wheat malt presence and light lingering sweet notes. Body is about average full with medium carbonation. The level of spice is pretty bang on but it lacks a bit of body and better carbonation.

Peach, banana, and mil lemon zest nose. Hazy golden, thin head. Banana and apricot flavor with a mild lemongrass finish. Tasty and delicious, but not very true to style. Good stuff.

Richmond 19th. Fairly clear gold, slightly citric aroma. Flavor is wheaty, very faint citrus and coriander. Not bad at all, but nothing stands out. Not bad, but definitely not turned up to 11.

Bouteille 750ml. De couleur jaune-dorée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes et zeste, traces de bananes) aux notes épicées (coriandre), léger de blé et de pain avec des notes de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-élevé ainsi qu’une texture aux petites notes crémeuses. Léger goût de levures fruitées (oranges sucrées, notes de bananes vertes) et moyennement épicées (coriandre, traces de sel) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de blé avec des notes de pain mouillé puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux. Post-goût moyen, composé de notes de levures fruitées (zeste d’agrumes), de blé ainsi que quelques traces de sel et de houblon herbeux.

Bouteille de 750ml avec bouchon de liège. Bière blonde dorée avec une mousse blanche à grosses bulles qui semblent chimiques. Le nez est chimique avec une touche de blé, d’agrumes, du citron et de la coriandre. En bouche cette bière blanche goûte trop la coriandre. Légère mais tout de même agréable.

Bottle - 750ml. Hazy blond body with heavy carbonation and a diminishing white bubbly head. Fait malty/hoppy aroma with citrusy, flowery, and yeasty hints. Its fresh, light taste carries bready, yeasty, and banana notes. Ends with a short bittersweet finish. Ordinary.

750 ml bottle from Broue Ha Ha, served cool in a tulip glass.

App.: Hazy light golden with a fragile white head. Aroma: Fairly spicy and zingy, some nice citrus peel, a little yeast, some wheat, a touch of a savoury note..., light esters, fair. Palate: Medium body, fairly lively effervescence. Flav.: More esters than the nose, a little floral honey, lighter spice and citrus character, faint yeast, fairly refreshing; dry with low bitterness and a somewhat vapid wheat-like finish.

Not particularly memorable...for either good or bad characteristics.
