Style: Belgian White (Witbier)

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

Cloudy lemon in colour. Mild citric aroma with lots of yeasty notes. Grainy start with a refreshing lemon finish. Not a bad wit.

UPDATED: FEB 27, 2006 (Bottle 25 cl) In my original version brewed by "De Gouden Boom" in Bruges. Pale, hazy yellow with a small white ale. Very typical witbier look. Has all the nice spicy and citrusy flavours but is more bitter and pilsner-like than most wits. Less wheat malt perhaps. A bit flat but nice indeed. 181096 and 280499

Pricey at $6.50 pb in the Australian market. Very light yellow gold, thin head, a touch cloudy. Not bad nose, some clove and banana peel, a bit subtle. Subtle palate as well. Quite authentic but needs a bit more ’bang’. Carbonation just a touch high as well. Needs to deliver more.

Bottled at DBF 2005. Pale yellow coloured with a white head. Fruity aroma with notes of citrus and spices. Flavour has lots of fruits mostly citrus and bananas with notes of spices.

By the bottle. Fair and average. I guess good for the mass produced end of the scale for this style.

Since I had no glasses available, I had to drink from the bottle. This means mostly that I had no way to judge colour. However, the citrus aroma was quite enticing, and the beer itself pleasant, but perhaps with too long an aftertaste. Quite nice.

(bottle) Light & hazy yellow colour with a fizzy medium white head. Slight aroma of citrus fruits, spice and yeast. Clovy citric taste, light bodied, spicy, yeasty refreshing finish.

Bottled. Cloudy, pale yellow. Fresh aroma, slight sourish with coriander notes and maybe orange and wheat. Flavour is reminiscent of wheat and has a salty touch.
