Bottled. A golden beer with huge chunks of sediment floating around under a medium off-white head. The aroma has strong notes of spice - coriander and lemon peal, as well as light notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of spices - especially coriander as well as notes of yeast, peaches, and oranges, leading to a dry spicy finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Aroma is complex wheaty/spelt grainy with a very pronounced note of orange peel and a mild yet distinct spice note, underlying is a very classic Belgian yeasty note. Flavour is rather complex and following the same lines as the aroma. Orange peel and coriander take a step forward in a medium sweet fruity beer. Ends with a lingering wheat and spelt flavour with a little remaining orange peel note. Lovely!

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, rich fluffy head. Evident perfumy coriander aroma. Sweet, slim and fruity, soft and mouthfilling despite it’s fairly light body. There’s orange peels and bubble gums under the coriander. Finishes with a touch of some orange brandy. Like a bigger, but still drinkable, witbier.
