COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Blond, cloudy, milky (colloïdal by cold). The cloudy appearance is created at low temperature but disappears when the beer gets warmer or when it is kept too long in the cold. Fine fruity with a scent of the used spice, coriander and bitter orange. Smooth beer, thirst-quenching but mild, slightly acidulous, powdery consistency on the tongue, not bitter

Palme (1200) - Bergen, NORWAY - FEB 9, 2012

0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. Pours a light blurry golden-yellow body with a small sidesticking and bubbly just off-white head. The aroma is quite zesty,coriander, wheat, lots of lemony-citrus. Quite alright actually. Lively carbo levels and a thin oily to watery mouthfeel. Light acidic and wheaty with peppery spices and hints of hay. Ends kinda watery. A tasty wit this, and I quite liked it. 30.01.2012

ClubGonzo (1736) - Bergen, NORWAY - FEB 5, 2012

Bottle from Centra Colosseum, Oslo, shared with BBGTC. Pours a light hazy straw body with a small, white head. Taste is classic wheat citric tones, coriander seeds and hints of honey and orange peel. Very nice. Full body, medium-to-high carbonation. A classic Belgian wit - no more, but certainly no less either.
