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

bottle from delhaize - brugge, nice yellow/white colour and stable white head. Smell: a bit stinking and coriander. Taste: much better: coriander, citrus (typical witbier) but a bit more bitter than other belgian whites and a nice grainy flavor in the aftertaste. I like it but I’ve had better ones.

From 750mL bottle to weizen glass, looks impressive with white crown and cloudy yellow body. The smells are a magnificent blend of fruity esters spiced with coriander, zest, mild yeast and a hint of licorice. Flavor has sub-acid fruits, bready malt, lemon, coriander, and anise. Finish is smooth, bubbles are fine, and body feels light and refreshing but after a few sips the colloid mouthfeel is appreciated. I think this is an underrated beer that I would definitely buy again.

33cl bottle, pale yellow colour, huge collapsing white head, fresh lime aroma with wheat and coriander notes, light citrus sweet flavor, light (but not watery) body, not interesting finish with some coriander aftertaste (translating this rate from english to italian with google is a mystical experience, it say: "the light of sweet citrus")

Draught at Café de Baron, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Hazy yellow colour with white head. Wheat, citrus, coriander and spices in aroma. Fresh citrus/lemon flavour with wheat. Quite light though.

750 ML Bottle-Cloudy yellow color w/a slight white head. Spiced wheat aroma. Flavors of wheat, citrus & spice. A lot drier than many Witbiers, but very refreshing, light & easy to drink. Had some carbonation to it. Solid brew, not spectacular...but solid

I wanted a decent Witbier on my 50th birthday, so I grabed this out of my beer cellar. It poured a beautiful hazy yellow color with a thick creamy white head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Flavor is lots of citrus, wheat and some coriander. Soft mouthfeel. A little tart, but a very refreshing Witbier.

Bottle 25cl. Pours a murky light yellow colour with little carbonation and a good size head. Very fruity lemony aroma to it, has good notes of lime and raisins there too. Taste is rather dissappointing, was expecting a bit more from this. Has some nice lemon there, but nothing special.
