teorn88 (1198) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 25, 2013
It poured a hazy yellow colour with a small white head that settled down fast in the glass leaving a thin white head. It has a wheaty aroma. The flavour is slightly bitter and tastes of wheats, water and a hint of malt

wouter (6) - , NETHERLANDS - JAN 3, 2013 does not count
I got this as a gift from my regular beer shop (Berendsen, Enschede). Excellent and apparently hard to get beer. Cloudy and pale yellow with slightly more then enough carbonation. Reminded me a little of a very nice Weizen and of Hoegaardse Das, with hints of orange, banana and coriander. Very nice beer indeed!
