Bottle @ Fastelavnssmagning 2012, Ulfborg. Pours hazy pale yellow with a small white head. Wheat, paper and grain. Medium to thin body.

[ ASPETTO ] giallo paglierino, velata ma senza residuo [SCHIUMA] bianca, non abbondante, fine e piuttosto persistente [ OLFATTO ] media intensità, con profumi di cereali, lievito ed un leggero floreale [ GUSTO ] intensità media-bassa con sapori di cereali, lievito con un fruttato di fondo nel quale si individuano note di polpa d’arancia. Finale secco che lascia la bocca leggermente pastosa, retrogusto non persistente e con una leggera sensazione metallica [ TEXTURE ] corpo medio-basso ma con una sensazione al palato piuttosto morbida, media carbonazione, percezione alcolica di fatto assente. COMMENTO FINALE bottiglia con etichetta BOURGOGNE DES FLANDRES BLANCHE, 5 %; non compare in ratebeer e neanche nella pagina del birificio, probabilmente una rietichettatura della Blanche de Brabant. Birra di frumento leggera ed effimera, con lieviti tenui, frumento che infonde una certa morbidezza in bocca; d’altra parte presenta un un fruttato poco incisivo e sfumature speziate e agrumate molto flebili. Soprende comunque la cremosità che infonde in bocca; per il resto, piacevole ma non entusiasmante. in etichetta compare come ingrediente anche un colorante... mmmm!!

Interesting bottle 0,75l
There is no yeast or any sediment in the bottle, but beer is hazy as any wit beer. Aroma is good to this style. Palate is thin but not much watery. Taste would be a soft but same punget yeast flavor than blode, spoil that feeling. Taste is dampened down but I can find a bit of wheat cereal and even less coriander.
Not bad, not awesome. I could buy more if we got summer like last one.

(750ml bottle) Pours a hazy pale yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of dry dusty wheat, yeast, coriander, and earth. Flavor of wheat, yeast, light coriander, and subtle citrus with a dry finish.

Bottle@Home. Sweet citrus aroma. Hazy, pale yellow, white head, good lace. Sweet, candy, citrus, light bitter. Medium body. Easy going but not refreshing.

Bottle @ DRBM. A clear pale yellow colored beer, with a thick foamy head. The aroma of some malt and some fruits, very little flavor. The taste of some malts, flat, dry a little fruit. The aftertaste dull. Very little flavor.

Light yellow colour, white, fast dissipating white head. Candy peel, medlar, slightly spoiled aroma, like sick (weeïg). Very light flavour, medlar, somewhat sweet. Went down the drain.
