Bottle shared with McTapps. Looks great cloudy which reminds me of a nice Witbier. And that crazy aroma of coriander and oranges leeds me to think this one is a Wit. But it tastes sweetish and fluffy like a typical belgian ale. Great work, great beer and that quality for an easy going price (compared to other piwos we got in Kelmis / Eupen / Aubel).

Big bottle. Unclear yellow colour with big, steady head (like beaten egg whites) and medium body. Nose of coriander, grass and fersh hops. Delicious taste of fresh aromatic hops, lemon fruits, grass, fresh coriander greens, fresh ginger and white pepper. Hints of Belgian yeast and Belgian wit. So easy and nice to drink, really refreshing, fresh and so quaffable. Surprise of the evening.

Yellow hazy body with huge white foamy head. Looking really nice! Aroma is fairly moderate, lightly herbal, farmhouse, grassy hops. Moderate yet nice. Taste is less interesting, light bitter but well drinkable. Not as peppery, funky or full as some, but a very sessionable drink. Ending is the weakest part of this brew. Nice though! (75cl bottle from Bierparadijs)

Pours a mild tan amber .. . lots of foam, lacing is awesome .. . light mouth .. . muddled yeast, grain and wet hay .. . Pretty nice beer but lacks character .. . . I dedicate this rating to my dad who was a roofer. so dad, if you’re up there…

(bottle) pours a murky golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of dandelions, herbal hops and yeast, with a hint of powdered sugar and light barnyard. flavour is mostly the same, with big notes of wheat and a slightly tart lemony finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

75cl bottle @ home. Yellow golden coloured beer with medium but constant carbonation and a smaller white head. Refreshing citrusy fresh hoppy hinted aroma with some sweeter floral notes. Medium to full palate. Finish is sweet quite dense light herby wheat sticky hinted. Dry light bitter sweet but might have been a little lighter on the finish.

Light blond, mild hazy beer. Sweetish nose. Some fruits in the aroma too. Sweetish taste. Orange peels and coriander. Fruity aftertaste. No bitterness noticeable. This is not a saison.

Big bottle from Carrefour. Hazy citrus body with puffy head. Nose is wheat and citrus bursts. Taste is also wheaty, dry. With bitter and lime notes in the finish. Creamy texture with dry finish. Okay.

Crisp fresh citrus aroma. Some wheat. Tastes like water mixed with flakes of metal. Some artificial flavour in there.

Hazy pale yellow colour. Aroma of coriander and soap. Flavour has pepper, coriander and is fresh and quite zesty. Easy to drink, would make a great summer beer.
