750mL thanks to Simon at Cave a Bulles. Pours cloudy light orange with a diminishing quick head. Sugary, red apple oxidized nose with acetaldehyde. No lace. Taste is odd and tangy with water and cantaloupe and honeydew melon. No stickiness. No hop character. Tangy, thin, fruit juicy palate. Decent fruit juice tanginess. How about using some hops?

Hazy amber with a tiny white head. Sweet fruity aroma with malty and caramelish notes. Sweet fruity flavour with malty, hoppy and caramelish notes. Finished bitter.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy deep blond color. The aroma of this beer at least is a bit fruity and honeyish. It has a reasonable body structure, without real malt qualities but with an average sweetness; in the end, signature of the brewery, there is light yeast; also the alcohol, although low, manages to show up; low bitterness. Average French beer.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of honey, malt, and some fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, honey, and some fruits, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

33 cL bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, light spiced towards herbal. Sweet malty, mild citrusy touch. Vague sweet to citric malt flavoured finish, no bitterness.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy white head. Fruity nose. Medium body, sweet orange accents and other fruits - apricots perhaps. Subdued bitterness. Very far from a classic Belgian Wit. 110110

Bottle from Caves à Bulles, Paris. Hazy orange with a smallish head. Bready and fruity aroma, caramel. The quince provides some unique aromas and flavours, a nice blend of orange and lemons, but still rather balanced between citric and sweet (or rather tilting to the sweet side, actually). A bit flat. It is nice to encounter some new flavours in between, and this Belgian-style wit provides that with elegance.
