Definitely one of my favourites. You can finish it without even noticing!

As far as wits are concerned, it doesn’t get much better than this. It is light, refreshingly tart, beautifully spiced with more than just coriander and bitter orange peels - i think nutmeg for sure and maybe some cardimum. The spices linger in the background as the lightly bittered beer flows easily with wheat and bitter oranges being the prominent flavors. This is my favorite wit, it is extemely hard to find in North America - in fact this is the only beer that I’ll import a couple of cases yearly. Just lovely.

Pours a cloudy pale yellow, decent white head. Slight citrus and spice aroma. Very "fresh" scent. Flavor was nearly immaculate. Full, citrusy, floral, spicey, floral and tasty. Goes down completely smooth, fantastically crisp. This is a fantastic Witbier.

Bottle from Centra Colosseum, Majorstua, Oslo. Hazy light yellow colour with a white head. Frutiy and light sweet aroma with some notes of orange. A fresh and lovely mild sweet flavour. Fruity, light acidic, some orange and wheat. Lovely stuff

What a beer! Great fruity aroma and flavor. The coriander is in it, but there is more to it than that. I realy like the taste and aroma this beer has. But it’s a bit to sparkling.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2004 Tried on draught in various Amsterdam bars. This is a delicious wit beer, bright, sweet and exquisitely fruity. With or without a wedge of lemon, this is a swig of citrus heaven.

Large 1 pint 9.4 oz bottle with pretty blue label. Yummy. This beer had a huge head that disappeared very quickly. Hazy yellow body with huge sized particles. Light maltyness of grain, slight citrus tone, maybe orange. Soapy nose. Tast of coriander and licorice. Intial and finish was lightly sweet with some acidicness. Average duration. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. By far a superior witbier. I would recomend this to any one. This would be great for summer or anytime. Bravo.

Drink it very cold! It has a cloudy look when you drink it between 2 and 4 Celsius degree.The beer is very characteristic with the citrus and coriander flavour, whit the lactic acid and the fine yeast in the bottle. If you can get this beer in magnum style(1,5 L), lets buy that one!!!

Pale milky blond color with nice billowy head. Yeast and citrus on the nose. Flavor is citrus like lemon or bitter orange peel. Nice and spicy from the coriander. Nice long lingering slightly sour finish and not overly yeasty. Very nice.
