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

Drink it very cold! It has a cloudy look when you drink it between 2 and 4 Celsius degree.The beer is very characteristic with the citrus and coriander flavour, whit the lactic acid and the fine yeast in the bottle. If you can get this beer in magnum style(1,5 L), lets buy that one!!!

Pours a hazy straw-colour with a fizzy, thick white head that retains well. The body is insanely effervesent, it just doesn’t die. The aroma is mostly lemon citrus, mild corriander with some yogurt-like lactic acidity. The flavour has everything you could want from a witbier. Orange citrus, aromatic spice, tart fruit, bubblegum yeast and again, that lactic acid, which I feel adds depth, not a distraction. The aftertaste is a bit grainy, or is that cardboard? The mouthfeel is a little thin, but it’s a wit, so it should be. Tingly carbonation.

In short: Average witbier going in the too-clean lemonade direction
How: Bottle 750ml drank relatively fresh a few months back (backlog)
The look: Cloudy straw-yellow body with a small and quickly disappearing white head.
In long: Hay and straw. Lemon skin. Slightly watery with soft drink carbonation. Lemon skin flavour with a light bubblegum yeast presence. A little annoying flavour resembling paper. Salty and tart. Not much in the way of usual witbier spices such as coriander. Too light and too clean to amount to anything. Nothing bad really but this beer will stick to my memory like a post-it on an ice-cube.

I love Belgians (the people as well as the brew). White beers are my LEAST favorite however. Still better than 75% of white beers in the states. Nose of spice and citrus fruit.

Bottle, 25 cl. Cloudy pale yellow color, with a white head. Aroma fruity, spice, citrus. Thin to medium body. Taste is refreshing, citrus, coriander, malts. A very normal white beer.

750 ml bottle from ASDA. Pale yellow with a big off-white head. Aroma of coriander, citrus and grain. Flavour had plenty of lemon with more coriander and a slightly sour finish. Good.

Plenty drinkable. Looks good. Could use more flavor. Don’t pick up the advertised spices though. Ehhh, not bad but probably one and done.
