Feb 11, 2007 Updated: Jun 30, 2007I have had all three verisons of this beer and the best was the texas one. It tasted like cascade was the hop in the texas verison but I know it wasn’t. A little thin but good.Page 112 of Michael Jacksons Great Beer Guide and only 190 out 500 Classic Brews to go.

Feb 6, 2007 Bottle at home. A nice witbier. This is a style I am getting to like more and more. Colour is creamy yellow. Quite citrusy. Could detect pineapple too. Refreshing.

Feb 5, 2007 (Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm) Yellow colour, rather cloudy, with rocky white head. Fruity nose with banana, vanilla and ... custard? Fruity taste with the same notes of banana, vanilla and custard mingling with citrus (mandarin, lemon) and notes of Wrigleys Juicy Fruit. Rather sweet, more fruity than spicy. Easy to drink, but actually quite tasty. Very summery (although this is february and the snow is falling down). On the philosophic side: a begian beer style brewed in Belgium for an American brewery. That would make this a Belgian American Belgian white?

Jan 15, 2007 Updated: Oct 22, 2007Pale, clearish haze with a thin creamy head. Large, visible pip-like pieces of sediment. Pineapple sweetness and a sour tang of citrussy lemon. A potent dose of coriander followed by some lovely biscuity notes long after the swallow. Very fruity and very wheaty. A refreshingly tangy Wit. (Re-rate) A dusting of clove. Bittersweet, slightly sickly Witbier sodden with estery banana fruitiness.

Jan 13, 2007 Hazy unclear pale yellow. Aroma and taste of yeast, wheat & citrus. Little lemon & spice - coriander. Dry slight bitter finish. Funky fresh! . Very pleasant & drinkable. Good Belgium Witbier.

Dec 25, 2006 From 2002. I was excited to find this after being introduced to this beer in Texas during college. My disappointment in this was great. The aroma and flavor were dominated by a level of diacteyl rarely encountered in beer, commercial or homebrew. The extreme butterscotch aroma and flavor overpowered the obvious nice formulation of ingredients underneath. I hope this was a batch issue and not a consistency in the Belgian production of this once-great beer.

Dec 10, 2006 Draught. Summer, lemon and soap in the aroma, but not in a bad way. A bit more yellow than Hoegarden. Taste of flowers, with a very long finish.
