330ml bottle. Very pale hazy yellow colour, small white head that quickly disappeared. Great citrusy aroma, with a hint of spice. Thin body did not result in the taste promised by the aroma - I found it to be a very muted attempt at the style. As a result, it is quite drinkable, but in a very unremarkable sort of way. What flavour that is there is rather lemony. Just ok.

Hazy whitish colour. Grassy aroma wasn’t all to pleasing. Thirst-quenching flavour is yeasty and spicy. The finish is quite dry. I’d much rather go with a Hoegaarden White or Blanche de Chambly

Tasted in Toronto from LCBO. Tasted in a Westmalle Trappistenbier chalice. Tasted at 11.2C. Aroma is slightly pungent with a lemon grass feel. Possible hint of spice. Appearance is cloudy yellow / hay colour. Little or no head remains in the glass. Very lemony taste. Almost overpowering. Not subtle at all. Sickly sweet and tangy after taste.

Hazy and pale yellow colour, citrus aroma and faint cirus flavours. This could be because the best before date was March 2003. When fresh this is my #1 wibier, still not too bad 9 months past it's expiry date.

Pale, hazy yellow-orange colour. Aroma of citrus with bits of yeast and bubblegum. Typical flavours of orange, lemon, corriander with a yeasty character. A very nice and refreshing example of the style.

2009-02-13. Hazy pastel yellow, small white head. (3+) Sweetish aroma, light floral, yeasty. (6+) Similar flavour, sweetish, light florals, touch of honey. Average to light palate. Pleasant, very drinkable but on the mild side.7/3/7/3/14 - 3.4 Bottle from LCBO

Sept 200X - No coriander which is a bonus. Not really citrusy either... decent beer, pretty drinkable 5/3/5/3/11 - 2.7

(33cl bottle) Imported and served at Vineyards in Ottawa. Cloudy, light amber body and a foamy white head. Cirtus and yeast nose. I was told that this would taste better than Hoegaarten and it didn't even live op to that minute milestone. Weak lemony flavour with the odd spice but overall didn't live up to much...

Hazy pale gold, huge rocky white head. Skunky nose. Fruity and yeasty. Really didn’t like this one
