Zesty lemon aroma, but a bit pale in color even for white. Flavor is what you would expect for this style, smooth and easy-drinking. The lemon flavor was all I noticed, but the finish was very tasty. By no means a great beer, but a beer I could probably pound all night with out remorse. Cheers

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.

White head that sits well and laces up nicely. Less hazy than hoegaarden. Soft aroma, coriander with lemon and vanilla. Best palate of a white I can remember having, nice and full and smooth, the tartness makes a nice edge as your mouth empties. Sweet and maybe even a hint of vanilla malt? Lingering tart lemon. Nice, I'd like to side by side this with hoegaarden. (Other people are commenting on a watery thing. I definitely didn't get that. I had it at room temp, maybe that's the difference?)

Pour's a cloudy golden color, with minimal head. Thin and water body, with a sweet taste of maybe banana and cloves. Easily a drink that could be consumed by the barrel loads during summer.

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.

Aroma prevalentemente citrico con note di coriandolo e curasao. Corpo molto leggero. Persistenza retro-olfattiva piùttosto breve. Leggermente troppo astringente

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