Pours hazy amber with a small head. Nose shows acidic funky notes, doughy wheat, lemon and orange peel. Very refreshing flavours, with some sourness, a bit of wheat and lemon. Well-suited high carbonation and light body. Very refreshing stuff.

Cloudy yellow - kind of like lemon juice - with a small pale head. Aroma is rhubarb, peach, vinegar, daisies. Taste is apple cider vinegar, lemon peel, cloves, sour plum, grape skins. Light bodied, slightly tart on the palate, good balance of sweet and sour with a short crisp finish.

This beer pours a gray dirty blond with no head. The nose has tart green apple, and plum. Has a lite body. The taste starts with a crisp lite cider with hints of plum and finishes with apple. The crispness reminds me of a saison. Very lite an refreshing would be amazing on a hot summer day. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Cloudy yellow color, large thick white head. Aroma of sour banana and grapefruit. Taste has rising bread dough, citrus, clove. Decent.

33cl bottle with a huge clump of yeast at the bottom. Pours hazy orange-yellow with white head. Huge sharp sour aroma, citrus and yeast/barnyard smell. Fizzy and sharp in the mouth, with a big punch of lemons, vinegar and bitter hops which gave, for me, an off-putting finish. Not your average witbier, but ultimately an incongrous mix.

Hazy yellow color with an airy white head. Tart aroma. Flavor is thin slightly sour.

Hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is sweet, wheaty, citrus and light sour. Flavor is medium sweet, light sour and light acidic. Dry and light acidic finish. 220911

Dorée pâle, trouble avec courte mousse blanche évanescente. Nez de blé, levure et agrume. Assez légère en bouche, un peu terreuse, notes de gentiane, coriandre. Très (trop?) pamplemousse et acide lactique. Trop sèche pour être désaltérante.
