[At GABF 2004] A hazy yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet flowery combined with notes of yeast. The flavor is primarily yeasty combined with a slight note of alcohol.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cloudy beige colour. Aroma shows big coriander, dust-accented yeast, and a bit of pale malt. The body is firm and more or less dry. Spicy, fruity flavours atop confident pale malts. Not so brave in interpretation but solid in execution.

On tap at Elysian, Seattle. Cloudy orange/gold colour with lasting off white head. Lemon/wheat Belgian yeast wit aroma. Lots of fruit in mouth, tangerine/lemon, good intense fruit balanced by hop and cereal. Very zesty. Belgian wit and tripel collide. Excellent flavours especially the zesty citrus fruits.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared courtesy of weeare138 (thanks!). Poured a darker golden color with a very large sized white head. Spicy, spicy, spicy. Aromas of spices (pepper & coriander) and some yeast with very light spices. The spices dominates the tastes and detracted from the other flavors.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden orange hazed ale with a thick white head. Nice coriander malt with some herbal notes, and light yeast. In mouth, a rich malt with coriander orange peels, but some harshness in finale. Overall, a nice beer. Mondial 2006.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at GCBF. Cloudy, bright yellow with thick persistent head. Aroma of coriander, banana, light spice. Seems like an emperial wit. Flavour is a bit phenolic, coriander, clove, heavier bitterness than is typical. Full mouthfeel, a bit creamy. Lingering spice and bitterness. Nice, but a bit strange.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Fully hazy orange; pale orange coloured head. Very orange/curaçao nose, coriander, OK, making it smell like a "tripel wit". Extremely fruity & spicey, lots of citrus. Obvious alcohol, contributing to the sweetness; esters. Slight alcoholwarming, highly carbonated. Not bad at all, but definitely not a beer apt at sessions, I’d say. More for dinner, as Garrett O. suggested.
