Bottle. It’s an unclear, orange-golden beer with some microfloaties and a small, dense, off-white head. Fruity and citrusy aroma, slightly spiced, with some yeasty notes. Lemony and fruity flavor with some spicy hops, leading to a fruity finish. Medium body. A quite nice one, nothing extraordinary, but a pleasant, easy drinkable beer. (090213)

Bottle. Golden-orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, citrus, yeast. Flavour is sweet, yeast, earth, spices, hop. Medium body. OK beer.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of ozujsko (thanks!)
Poured a hazy, almost opaque ochre colour, with an enormous thick white head that collapsed at a medium pace leaving tons of lacing. Belgian style nose; spices, lime, yeast. The taste is light, a bit metallic, Belgian spiciness, tiny hints of honey (way less than the other French beers with honey I’ve had), tiny hints of hops. A pleasant, underrated Belgian ale knockoff, that I wouldn’t mind having again.

Bottled(330ml). -looks like German Weizen and looks and smells like Belgian Ale. Aroma is yeasty and fruity with slight spicy and honey notes. Few alcoholic hints and pleasant bitter finish.

Bottled. Golden/Orange appearance with a light persistent head. The aroma is very alcohol based and the flavour is fruity and mulled. Overall a good immitation of a Belgian beer but I cannot taste the honey.

Bottle in Chablis France. One of the nicest aromas, but the flavor didn’t quite match it. Fairly strong tasting Belgian ale. Was quite filling, but still enjoyable. The label on the beer is just like a wine label, it’s kinda cool. Pours a medium to light body.

Muddy blond color. Smells like an ordinary Witbier, with light citrus fruits and wheat. Ordinary taste, with poor malt and virtually no hop. Useless.

Stupefying starfruit sherbet fragrance over tumefying coriander milkiness...Dispassionate flowery honey on a gracile cereal character...With no ending at first tasted, the yeast shot helped quite a bit while expanding the sherbet theme...

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2009 Not a large head with my sample, somewhat cloudy. Had a pleasant, clean but spicy flavour but not a significant aftertaste. Would drink againScore 3.3
Subsequent rating scored 3.4. Average unaltered

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2004 Hazy blond ale with a thick white head. Pleasant aroma of yeast and honey. Sweet taste of malt and honey with a slight bitter finish. Enjoyable...
