As Brugs Tarwebier has already several years the new name "Brugs Witbier", I drunk this from a 25 cl bottle. It’s a hazy light yellow-coloured beer with a meium head in the beginning becoming fast a little white, lasting head. The smell is very witbier-like: wheat, with some citrus and coriander notes as well, but not very strong. The taste is grainy, light spicy, a bit watery with a nice mouthfeel. Also some citrus tastes are noticeable. Nice and good beer to drink, but a bit lacking of a special taste to speak of "Hoegaarden"-level. Or even stronger: St Bernardus Wit-level, but this one is already outstanding phenomenal.

Draught, as Brugs - Blanche de Bruges. Small head that dissapears very quickly. Looks like a very murky lemonade, aroma of bubblegum and citrus and some spice, flavour of citrus and bubblegum, flavourfull long lasting sour aftertaste. Overall the beer feels a bit german in character. Simple but very fresh and excellent easy drinking.

[bottle @ RBESG 2009] Herbal aroma: coriander and celery with plenty of pine and apple. Cloudy yellow with a white ring. Ginger and coriander flavovur with some celery and moderate bitterness. Plenty of residual sweetness, pineapple juice, aspartame at the end. Light body, moderate carbonation, herbal finish.

RBESG Sheffield, day 2, The Wellington. Bottle. Hazy lemony yellow colour, white head. Aroma is sweet, banana, some wheat. Flavour is sweet, banana, CO2, sweet finish. Medium bodied. Very nice in between all the golden ales.

Cloudy, light blond with thin white head. Nose was slightly off, and yeasty. Excellent citrus/orange taste.

chiara buona schiuma media pwersistenza note leivei non intenda ma abbastanza corrette beverina rinfrescante ma non emozionante

Bottle. Citrus koriander aroma on a grainy bottom. But overall watery sour. Something wrong with the flavors here. Half decent though.

Small cloudy head, finishing with a egg-white colar. Orange smells rushing to your nose at first. Then the citrus-coriander nose appears. Not a complex taste but very watery, full of wheat, milk?, yeast, grapefruit with a note of sourness. A good white.
