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

(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%).

Very pale, straw body with a tall fizzy head. Smells of soft wheat, coriander, with strong licorice overtones. The latter tones down in the flavor and complements the wheat, coriander, and orange rind nicely. Very refreshing with a crisp, dry finish.

Cloudy light golden color. Large rock head slowly fades away. Coriander and orange peel on the nose. Wheaty, fruity taste with a spicy finish. Not bad on a hot day.
