Lots of gushing in Blond, hazy, dense white head. Aroma is herbal, with lime. Taste is smoewhat acidic, smooth, with a reasonable finish. Somewhat sweetish, not that special,it lacks some spirit.

On tap at De Prael Proeflokaal, Amsterdam on 1 April 2011. Straw colour with a haze. Decent condition. Estery fruit aroma. Slightly fruity - sharp and lemony on the palate. Not too much spice in evidence. A decent enough clean and easy-drinking wheat beer.

Bottle (33 cl) from the Cracked Kettle. Cloudy pale yellow with a green hue, fluffy white head. Malty and estery aroma, with notes of wheat and some bananas. No spices or oranges to be found. Creamy maouthfeel. Well balanced with good drinkability, but a bit dull. It would really have gained from more spices.

Hazey lemon-yellow with a nice white head. A super light wheaty taste. Not bad, just too light for me.

Tap at De Prael ...hazy yellow amber ... light soft banana nose ... light dry soft banana ... light toffee bublygum

(Draught at De Prael Proeflokal, Amsterdam, 31 July 2010) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, wheaty nose with apricots, citrus and hints of coriander. Fruity, wheaty taste with notes of white bread, apricots, citrus, coriander and a short, mild, lemony finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Quite nice witbier.

33cl, Dutch brewery, from Melger’s Haarlem, complex Belgian White, not balanced, cloudy, rocky head, simpel brew

Tap at Prael Proeflokaal, Amsterdam: Hazy yellow thirstquencher with an good lemony taste.

Bottle from the brewery store. Golden colour with a very "alive" foam, fast disappearing, though. Good lemony fruit aroma with just hints of spices. Lemons and orange fruit flavours. A bit hard carbonation. Interesting wit with some flaws.

Bottle. Cloudy orangey beer with a light fizzy head. The aroma is sour and citric, and the flavour is bitter, sour and citrically fruity. Overall an average sour, citric and bitter beer - in some ways lemon and barley like.
