COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed in the centuries-old Belgian tradition, our White Ale features the complex flavors of the classic witbier, including orange peel and coriander – all brewed with pure Icelandic water that delivers a cool smoothness that is flavorful and refreshingly drinkable.

gbe75 (42) - ICELAND - MAY 21, 2012
When I tasted this beer for the first time from tab I didn’t expect much. But out came this very refreshing nice wit-beer. Now, I am rating the beer from a bottle which of course is not the same. Pours golden and little hazy. The aroma of citrus and orange. Don’t smell or taste the coriander. Taste is medium sweet with light sour taste in the end.

foxo82 (162) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - MAY 6, 2012
Bottle from Booths, Windermere. Pours a very pale yellow, semi cloudy with sediment. Good sized head. Plenty of visible carbonation. Smells and tastes sweet, strong lemon and orange with some ginger in the nose. Deceptively light tasting given the ABV. Not much bitterness but very refreshing. Mouthfeel slightly fizzy and tart. Nice.

Pours a cloudy pale gold with a minimal head. Some aromas of clove and lemon. Flavours of clove, lemon and digestives. Not as pronounced as a Wit would normally be.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours yellow pee color with a temporary white head. Light seeded fruit aroma. Apple? Flavor is clove/citrus - but it’s also telling me apple. A nice smooth wit. Finishes a bit zesty.
