Bottle @ Porterhouse, London.
Pours hazy and lightly pale yellow with a fine, frothy, white head. Low duration. sweet aroma, with a good dose of coriander, light vanilla, some citrus and wheat. Medium carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Flavour is very soft, sweet wheat, light citric and a medium aftertaste of coriander. Quite a fair beer.

Pours a nice deep thick bronze and gold. Great head from the tap. Very nice at first taste, hints of wheat and citrus. This had a bit of a sweet flavor to it, which was a nice little surprise. I’ve had "Shock Top" which is another Belgian White produced by Anheuser- Busch, it’s good, but it isn’t better than Blue Moon. This is a solid beer.

Golden cloudy pour with a good foamy head that lasts a while. Sweet citrus, malt, yeast and wheat in the aroma. Flavor is also sweet and citrusy, with a bit of the grain, yeast and some spice coming through. Not a great Wit, but definitely doable.

This is a solid Belgian wit. I often will have this if I’m out at a sportsbar or some other place that is limited in it’s beer selection. Nice thick wheatiness good color and texture. I don’t put fruit slices in my beer, but some people like it with orange.

I had the 3.2% ABV, the 6% is much better. Citric, light, slight sour, highly carbonated. This would be good on a picnic.

Nice wheat ale. Goes good with an orange slice. It’s a little sweet, but I kind of like that sometimes. The color is weak, but that’s to be expected in a wheat ale.

A cloudy appearance with a small head. Has a nice citrus smell with a smooth intial taste followed by a lack luster finish. A bit too sweet for my tastes. Lots of fruit taste in it.
