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. Hazy Hoegaarden-looking. Slight vanilla, some spiciness. Lactic but in a good way that mixed with the banana flavor quite well. Mild finish, just-right mouthfeel. A very good example of a lighter weizen beer. Sweet finish, well-done.

750ml bottle from Asda. Cloudy witbier. Aroma is wheaty, spicy. Flavour is wheaty, fairly sweet with spice and fruit. Not a whole lot going on but a good quality, highly drinkable beer.

Bottle conditioned. A soft, fresh and tasty drinking beer. Just sometimes I get what wheat beers are about. When unfiltered and still living they can be very good indeed. I think it’s the filtered and gassed up versions that I find unpleasant. The softness and drinkability of this little number is really quite remarkable. Good one. ****

A Mes rate: A decent nose of lemon and spice if a little dusty. It all goes downhill from there on really. Head is over as quick as it forms and when I say over I mean totally vanished, appearance all round is pretty uninviting to be honest. Looks like urine when you are ill. Flavour is initially spritely with a hint of lemon but then that "powdery" stuff comes through and spoils everything. Finish is orangy and more powder. Just nothing to get excited about. It’s better than Stella, that’s about it. It finishes like bottled sparkling water to me. A bit salty and well yes, that’s about it.

Beer No 34 on the Wilsons’ Road Trip 2005. Falmouth Asda. Cloudy yellow brown with persistant white head. Aroma of lemon, coriander, orange peel. Minerally aftertaste. Very pleasant with more lemon character within the beer than is common for the style.

Quite pale,with thin but persistent head. Nose is lightly spicy/friuty, palate is at first overly acidic, but that mellows and a clean fresh fruit appears, and lingers through to the not unreasonable finish. Good stuff, and while it’s not Hoegaarden, it’s still a good example of the style. Asda
