Very light cloudy yellow color, short lasting head. Typical Wallonian white. More yeasty and spicy coriander, less citrussy. I prefer flemish belgian whites or german wheat, but not something in between actually.

average frothy white head. good lacing. mostly diminishing. cloudy hazy large-particled light-yellow body. aroma: lemon, heavy yeasty, dough, earth. if: ilght sweet bitter. ff: light sweet moderate bitter; long duration. palate: light body, watery texture, lively carbonation, light astringent finish. dulçor cítrico lembra limão permeado por leve amargor de casca daquela fruta, cerveja bem balanceada, agradável e refrescante, amargor escala um pouco, lembrando o retrogosto de água tônica com limão 60 s

Silver paper wrapped neck on a 330ml brown bottle (4.9%ABV), best before Dec 2013: poured into my Berliner Kindl 0.4 Litre tumbler in Mar 2012. The pour was slow, allowing the beer to leave the sediment in the bottle (I prefer it that way). Very, very pale straw body, slight haze and with bubble trails rising up towards a good deep head of white. The smell was citrusy, mild lemon and grapefruit mostly, very summery. Thirst quenching with a tangy bite of citrus flavours, better than I expected: I’m not a huge fan of this style, but this was OK. This carried the flavours well, light and easy to drink.

Wheath and citrus smell. Cloudy yellow, small white head. Spice taste, citrus flavour.

Cerveza con un pronunciado aroma a trigo combinado con la frescura y acidea de la cascara de naranja. La apariencia de esta cerveza es de un color amarillo palido, con una corona de espuma bastante blanca tipica de este tipo de cervezas y una impresionante turbiedad que proporciona la gran cantidad de sedimentos al ser una cerveza sni filtrar. El principal sabor de esta cerveza es a la cascara de naranja que posee, así como al trigo que la caracteriza. Cerveza sumamente refrescante, aun que dista mucho de cerveza caracteristicas de este tipo como lo son la Blanche des Bruxelles y la Hoegaarden.

Bottle from Asao, nearing its Drink-by date. Fruity, yeasty nose, much ester: peach, honey, spices. You can smell the age a bit. Light pastel yellow, cloudy, with lace and floaties. Sweet fruit, peach, melon, oranges, honey, malty wheat, with a slight tangy edge. Definitely past its prime, but maybe hasn’t really dropped off much. A bit of vegetable, but mostly sweet and malty. Not enough tartness to be refreshing. A bit cloying, but drinkable and not much like a wit.

Bottle @ home. Cloudy, hazy pale yellow color with a full sized, slightly creamy white head. Smell wheat, lemon and citrus. Taste wheat, lemon. Suitable soft lightly fizzy carbonation, low body. Very refreshing beer, certainly on a hot summer day.

Aromas of orange and spice. Flavor has too much orange, I didn’t care for this beer much. White beers aren’t high on my list.

Pours a very pale yellow colour with visible sediment and a short lived white head. Aroma is yeasty with some citrus. Taste is citrus fruit, yeast and some spices. Body is very thin, a bit too thin. Watery texture. Light and refreshing but not very flavourful.

(Bottled). Somewhat like drinking a yougut drink in personality. spicy and fruity nose ; murky pond scum body ,witth light fluffy clouds as a head; in the mouth its rich in fruity spiceiness ,then dry and tart.
