Emelisse Witbier

Brewed by Bierbrouwerij Grand-Café Emelisse
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Kamperland, Netherlands

(Bottled / Draught@Emelisse) Opaque orange-golden with a small, but firm and lacy head. The bottle seems slightly infected, so I’ll score it by the draught version. The bottle has sourish aroma with hints of vegetables and sewer, but also orange fruitiness and coriander spiciness. Flavor is not so bad, with only slight sourness, and the orange fruitiness coming up strongly. Medium body, quite refreshing, slightly fizzy mouthfeel, a bit thinner from the bottle. The draught version was a pretty standard wit, but bottled one is something else. Both were pretty good in their own way.

Bottle 30cl.
Unclear hazy medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, wheat, sour malt, citrus, vegetable, moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20090320]
