Transparent & sediment free lemon colour. Overall weak in both aroma & flavour. Thin texture. Drinkable but go for something with more oomph.

I definately had a different batch to the rest of you. Yes, it was extremely pale, and is obviously a softer wit than usual (vis the low alc.) but grainy... nup mine was smooth, a little thin, but still well rounded on the finish, definatly not watery. A refreshing sourness was evident, as was the lemon flavour, but I found neither excessive. Spits all over any local macro wit attempt, and if you hadn’t guessed by now I kinda liked it!

About the whitest wit I’ve seen - virtually transparent, and not very cloudy at all. Once you get past the sharp, decomposing cheese aroma, it’s drinkable enough, with a simplistic flavour like eating lemon barley and banana lollies at the same time. Finishes slightly grainy and creamy.

It’s bloody well Lemon meringue. Watery, bloaty, andsmells better than it tastes. Medical smell going on. Did I mention it was watery.. and there’s that weak orange taste.. Something up here. It’s gotta be a bit of a loose fermentation process which accidentally takes on the citrus qualities. Quick Palate (which is just as well), generally quite a speed miester...oh yeah and it’s a bit watery.

Not the greatest Belgian Wit, a bit sweetish and grainy. Goes down easily though, Its OK.

Pale yellow, very hazy. A bit sweetish, light bodied, very drinkable, but not overly flavourful.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2004 hazy lactic-orange colour, almost no foam, cinnamon and coriander, citrusy, notes of straw, acidic, light to medium body, the finish is short and quite flat with a lemony touch
