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 at home. Light yellow with a large white head (unclear like milk was added). Aroma moderate malty (coriander, citrus), light yeasty/hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light acidic/bitter. Light body, watery, soft carbonated. Wonderful!

Pour amazing white into the glass. I guess it was really a straw yellow, but I’ve never seen a beer this light in color. A snow white head sat on top for most of the drink. Very delcate on the aroma with the typical corriander spiceiness. Dough, dust, and a lemon citrus note. Again, very light on the flavors as well. Wheat and spice, pepper, and orange when the beer warms a bit. Rolls over the tongue nicely. I think the temp outside helped my enjoy this beer a bit more than I normally would have.

(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy light yellow body (resembling pineapple juice) with an average white head. Aroma of orange peel, coriander, and lemon. Flavor of orange and wheat with watered down, carbonated mouthfeel.

Bottel, 25cl. A big deception this one! I love witbiers and Namur was recommended by a friend so i was expecting much more. Hazy yellow colour with a good white head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma is medium sweet, yeasty and with a hint of lemon. Flavour is very weak and watery. Light body and a sweet finish. Want a witbier? Try a Hoegaarden.

Taster at Binny’s, Orland Park. Pretty much your standard wit. Probably the whitest pour I’ve ever seen. Pretty fizzy. Taste is redolent of lemon and a bit of clove. Followup finally brings in a hint of banana. Fritziness continues through the end.

750 ml bottle, BBD 12/09/08, Winooski Beverage in Winooski, VT (May 2006), served a bit above fridge termperature in a Chouffe tulip. It pours a very pale yellow-gold, luminous with sparkly gelatinous yeasty particles, nearly opaque and topped with a lasting creamy very white head that leaves no lacing....aroma is very mild, lemon-orangy with faint hints of ginger and coriander, perhaps a touch soapy....body is lemon-lime soda, similarly thin though not syrupy, moderately sweet with barely a trace of yeast character, faintly spicy, pretty bland and insipid over all though reasonably thirst-quenching....closer to cellar temperature, the body fattens up a bit (though it remains watery at the finish) and a touch of dry cobwebby yeast asserts itself, but not enough depth is added to make it more than...ok.

Bottle at Beer on the Pier, Chicago. Wheat aroma with corriander. I don’t know that I detected orange peel. Litterally white in color, perhaps the whitest beer I’ve ever come across. A layer of white head. Gets a point for uniqueness in appearance. Thin body; might be better if it was served a little colder. Has all the correct flavor chacteristics. Not too bad; just a little light (only 4.5%).
