I wanted very much to like this, as I love Wits. But it was not to be...first off, it was way past expiration. Second, it was incredibly, just flat-tasting somehow, some alcohol, but just watery acididity. No nose to speak of. But it wasn’t soured or anything, it really felt to me like that’s what this wit was after. But who knows. If you’ve got a bottle you’re not drinking my address is...

Bottle at Ungstrup. Hazy yellow coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of spices, coriander and orange peel. Fruity flavour of spices, orange peel and wheat. Citric finish.

cloudy yellow ,small smooth white head. aroma is wheat, yeast, faint citrus. flavor is bitter, citrussy, milky.

Bottle 25 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Heavy coriander aroma. Light body, heavy carbonation - comes gushing if not exactly explosive - lots of citrus and coriander, almost perfumy. Ends dry. Fairly fresh if you can deal with the perfumy notes. 290212

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy to murky yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is wheaty, spiced and slight phenolic. Fruity, light phenolic and light estery. Light spiced finish.

Bottled. An unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of coriander, wheat, and lemons. The flavor is sweet with notes of coriander, lemons, and wheat, leading to a dry wheaty finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

(25cl bottle, best by 3/29/11 thanks to bu11zeye) cloudy pour, long lasting thick white head, excellent lacing and effervescent. Nose of chewable vitamins, soapy, medium to light spices. Taste of wheat, dry, unsweet grain, coriander and spice. Dry finish, pretty boring.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a milky yellow color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the wheat and coriander. The flavor is a more of the same. Outside of wheat and coriander, I don’t get much of anything in either the aroma or flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

(25cl bottle, BB 29/03/11) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, lemon, and florals. Flavor of lemon, wheat, light chemicals, and yeast with a soft mouthfeel and a dry finish.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, cloudy yellow pour with aroma of green apple and wheat, dry bitter wheat flavor

Bella blanche molto speziata, pulita e piacevole, dissetantissima; non forse il mio genere, ma ammetto una sua bella riuscita. 1300!
