Very nice witbier from one of the most important beer manufactures in Spain. It is good that one company like Damm produce something different than the poor typical lagers. Appearance: pale golden colour with a nice head. Aroma: fresh aroma with a lot of coriander and citrics. Nice to noise. Taste: fresh and funny, with lot of flower, citrics and spicy. Palate: Good balanced and long finish wheat taste. Light but tasty. Overall: Good beer for a hot day, very nice bottle.

Clear pale golden or yellow color. Creamy bed of foam forms while pouring before settling to a thin layer just on the surface. Excellent lacing. Aroma is faint but sweet. Honey, coriander, grain, orange peel. Taste features more of the classic lager elements, very subtle and bright. Very pleasant summer beer but don’t expect to be blown away.

A witbier that pulls a little to the hefeweizen. The seasoning with coriander and orange peel is like a Belgian, but they have definitely used German yeast. Very well made, olé.

Bottle at a Spanish restaurant in Utrecht. Pours hazy golden with an off white head white head. Aroma of dough, grain, coriander, citrus and orange peel. Flavour is light moderate sweet and bitter. Light medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Poured from a 750mL bottle. Slightly cloudy yellow with minimal white head. Sweet yeasty malt aroma. Oily texture, sweet malt, apple taste.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a high rising and quickly falling head. Nose has lots of orange peel and coriander. Taste is almost like a wheat but with more spices like the above. Body is medium and the aftertaste is rather short but pleasantly balanced. Not a bad beer, but not amazing either. Good with fatty foods, I’d say.

750 ml bottle at home, poured into a weizen. ABV 4.8%. It is supposed to be made to pair with almost every food, so I had it with some chicken, if that accounts to anything. Pours a pale yellow beer, with two fingers of nice, white and soapy head. Good retention and nice rings of lacing as the foam goes down and as I drink it. Aroma is discreet, some malts, more wheat, a little bit of the coriander as well. Taste of wheat, sweet with a light acidic bite close to the end, very faint citrus. Medium thick body, carbonation is on good levels, maybe just a tiny bit above called average. Smooth on the palate. Overall, I was expecting this to be an overpriced, all hyped up beer, what with all the chefs being part of its creation, but it turned out to be a decent beer, and as far as my dinner is concerned, it paired up more than good.

Aroma is delicate with aromas of citrus and herb, hints of coriander. Pours a straw color with a light lacey head. The taste is incredibly well balanced hints of citrusy hops, orange with hints of spice. The palate is light and slightly creamy. Overall this beer is incredible. That being said, I don’t look at this as a Belgian white. It’s not really, this beer was designed for use with food, and it succeeds incredibly. There’s a lot of subtlety in this bottle, take your time with it and you’ll appreciate it more.

Ótima Witbier espanhola, assinada pelo chefe catalão Ferran Adrian. Boa formacao de espuma, cor amarelo-ouro, com media turbidez. Aroma cítrico, casca de laranja, especiarias. No paladar, media carbonataçao, com corpo médio. Sabor floral, herbáceo, com gosto de casca de laranja marcante. Notas de coentro e anis. Baixo amargor, com malte se sobressaindo. Final médio duradouro, com retrogosto herbáceo, agradável. Ótima breja! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. not what I expected, on a Belgian Wheat style, too expensive for what it is. If one of the most creative chefs sign up for this beer I expected much more.
