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

Sigmund (3495) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - AUG 2, 2005
Draught in Aarhus, Denmark. Pale golden milky colour, low head. Typical witbier aroma and flavour of orange peel and coriander, but there’s also a sufficient base of wheat malts and hops to support it. Well balanced, smooth and very pleasant and refreshing to drink. Not a beer that pops up and says BOOH! - but a very nice one all the same.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - JUN 8, 2010
Interesting, cloudy, glowing pastel yellow color with an enormous head. Big spicy aroma of coriander, citrus, and some wheat. Heavy on additives. Way of the top spicy flavor, creamy wheat, citrus, spice, and a bitter finish. The vulgar use of additives is too much for me—it’s all I dislike in this style. Very cloying as well, though it finishes clean. If you love spices, you’ll love it.

The aroma is tart with malt, citrus, spice, and yeast. The appearance is yellow white with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it’s not that good.

Jukkabro (3457) - Tampere, FINLAND - FEB 27, 2006
Light yellow colored, strongly hazy appearance. Big lasting white head. Citrus, mild sourness and spices in aroma, pretty thin nose.Thin to medium bodied. Medium carbonation, lemon, banana, wheat and mild spices in flavor, aftertaste has biting dryness, lemon and mild yeast. Fine refreshing white, still nothing special.

jrallen34 (3434) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 28, 2011
11.2 oz bottle into a goblet...Pours a bubbly honey gold lots of carbonation...The aroma is sweet but complex, immediatly I get lots of champaagne yeast, orange peel, sugar, and sweet licorice as if it was a spice not candyish. The licorice has a very medicinal quality to it, but in a nice way, its really refreshing...The taste is a little blah, the flavors don’t really come through as much, its a lightly sweet to start then a bit of bitter on the back.

Poured into two pint glasses. First pint poured lemonade. Second one poured orangina. Whitish head quickly dissipated. Coriander and orange peel nose. Taste is almost pure orange with a hint of honey and lemon. Almost like an orangina. Interesting all around.

Tap at ’t Loosje, A’dam. A very citrusy white. Enjoyed in a tall glass. Pours a tall head. Little bit bitter in the end. Very solid.
