pale yellow hazy beer, fizzy carbonation is gone in 15 sec. aroma: lemon, peach, perfumy and a little sulfuric. taste: acidic, lemon, coriander when warming up and some wheat. sour fruity finish with a bitter hint. bit too thin but o.k. witbier. just a little strange!

Very pale color. Cloudy to the point of milky, no head. Honey, chalk, milk and lemon in the aroma. Something like green tea and lemon, sweetened with honey. Thin, even a bit watery , but very drinkable and refreshing. Something like diluted lemon juice with a dash of fruit yoghurt. Distant cousin of my all time favorite witbier: dubbel wit Neerijse. Love it!

Bottle - bottle conditioned Fizzy, white head, which disappears instantly. Yellow/white, cloudy body. Citric aroma. Heavily sour, lightly bitter initial flavour which faints out to a lightly sour finish. I thought I would never like a White Beer, but then I tasted this one.

Cloudy yellow coloured, small head. Wheat aroma combined with citrus and coriander. Quite sour flavour. Ok wheat.

(Draught - sampled as "Blanche de Soy") The colour, consistency and aspect of peach yoghurt. Slim rim of white head. Orange, citrus, coriander and some other herbs only Dany knows come out in the nose. Very classical witbier taste - surprisingly "cliché" for Dany. It’s OK, however. Very creamy mouthfeel (like drinking yeaststarter), slick, milky. Aftertaste is more fruity than the start. I never thought Dany would brew such a stereotypical beer - if one discounts its looks. No real Brit would drink this, unless offered a loaded gun alternative!

Wheat and lemon aroma. Hazy, pale yellow color, white head, fair lace. Light sour start but soon more sour lemon flavors, light sweet in the background, wheat, rather thin.
