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

Draught at Microbar, Clapham, London 26/01/08. Banana, wheat, sulphur and coriander in the bouquet. Pours an opaque lemon coloured beer with a firm frothy head. Carbonated. Citrus, grapefruit and pineapple on the pallette. Dry bitter finish somewhat powdery. An ok wheat beer.

Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow color with a moderate white head. Aroma is airy and citrus bound with bits of spice. Flavor is crisp, yet soft with spices, citrus, orange peel, bits of coriander. Thanks Jordan!

Pours a very light lemon yellow with a medium amount of white head. Aroma is spice mixed with lemon. Flavor is spicy (coriander/pepper) with hints of citrus (more lemon than orange). Medium carbonation. Very mellow but a decent beer. Good summer beer.

Draught in Pullman Bar, Helsinki- Cloudy, hazy and golden in appearance with an attractive head. Tangy lemon aroma which reminds me of a lemon meringue pie. Lemon in the taste with a slight hint of spice which is subtle but tasty. Very refreshing.

Hazy yellow with medium head. Coriander, oranges and yeast is in the aroma and flavor. My favourite witbier. Nice on those hot summerdays.

Hazy greyish gold with a large white head. Aroma of yeast and citrus zest. Citric sourness in the taste with a wheaty background. A little soapy dryness. Didn’t get on too well with this. Perhaps wits need a summer evening...

750 ml bottle. A very cloudy and pale blonde beer with a big and persistent white head. Near soapy lemon aroma with spicy touches of coriander and orange peel. The flavour has wheaty, yeasty and spicy notes (again orange, lemon and coriander). Perhaps less picy than expected after the aroma. It has a nice refreshing tartness, but maybe the body is too thin. Well carbonated with short/medium aftertaste and light bitterness. At least thirst quenching.
