Bottle brown, 330 ml
Appearance: Pours citrusy lemon, milky - hazy body texture, very well and intensively carbonated in body, rather weak, small, fizzy to foamy head, very quickly decreasing to minimal, no lacing but body carbonation is very impressive.
Aroma: A kind of accidic - sour grainy touch, mineral nose, very gentle notes of yeast&alcohol in aroma, grains, flour, aroma is very weak but quite nice, lacking some pronounced fruity aroma like ’Kronnenbourg Blanc’, a bit milky, rather weak and reminding Belgian Blonds.
Flavour: Front is sour, accidic, salty with strong effervescence not strong carbonation, some smooth milky touch on palate, later on beer becomes lighter and more easy going, finish duration is medium, very mild, flavour with slightly flowery and grainy notes, lemon, lime, hints of vinegar, more refreshing than the fruity one and a bit heavy ’Kronnenbourg Blanc’, some notes of grainy, white bread, salt, some weak perfume hints, focused and pronounced taste.
Palate: Body is light, texture is creamy what is much better than in the case of ’Kronnenbourg Blanc’ with rather wattery texture, some distinctive and pronounced notes of grains, lime, lemon, clean, sour, refreshing with lightly alcoholic touch at finish.

Brugs Witbier, 25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, very easy to drink, not complex, cloudy, good head

Hazy light blond cloured beer with small white head. Herby (maize) aroma. Full palate. Finish is bit hoppy and bitter.

white blond coloured body with a white head a fruity spicy aroma a fruity spicy yeasty taste with a spicy yeasty finish

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow with a fine little white head. Lemony and quietly spicy nose. Spices, notably coriander, more present in the mouth, still in modesty and harmony with the fruity flavours. Fizzy, a bit grainy mouthfeel, slightly short finish. A well-crafted wit.

first had it on cask in a little bar en Strassbourg. also tried bottle later. a real nice fresh wheat beer with strong fruit notes and a sligt yeasty aftertaste. a real good witbier

I really enjoy this Beer in one small restaurant in Brugge, Belgium. Very good taste and color.
