Hazy golden yellow beer with a brief white head. Carbonation bubbles on the glass surface. Yeasty citrus on the nose, a bit like mead. Crispy mouth feel. Medium to light body. Yeasty citrus flavors.

33cl bottle, BB 2/14. Hay yellow, dense white head. Lavendel, butter, spicy (clove) aroma, quite intense. Flavor has wheat, clove, banana, spicy more in the smooth finish. Refreshing, smooth beer.

33 cl, bottled. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma: Pale malt, banana, spices. Vanilla. Taste: Sweet, medium bitterness. Slight acidic component. Wheat in taste. Banana, fruity esters. Palate: Near medium body, average carbonation. Not bad. Some malt in aftertaste.

330 ml bottle. Hazy pale yellow colour, thin white head. Nicely spicy aroma of citrus fruits and wheaty malt. The flavour is wheaty-malty, with citrus, coriander, notes of yeast and a spicy finish. Nicely refreshing.

A slightly cloudy, yellow beer with an almost medium and blond head. Aroma is fresh, lots of lemon, wheat, spices and coriander, some sweetness. Taste of strongly wheat, yeast, lemon, quite much of spices, coriander. Taste is richer than usually, also the aftertaste is quite long. Medium bodied, lots of carbonation, fresh to drink, as a witbier should be. Tastefull beer with richer flavours than normally, still refreshning and easy; lemon, wheat and spices.

Cloudy yellow with medium sized white stable head. Lacing. Aroma.. first impression mint bubble gum, then comes wheat and some quite pushy spices, I guess coriander, butter. Quite synthetic thou not complete disaster. Mostly sweetish. Well.. its drinkable, but weird synthetic. I wont say - never again, cause theres something interesting about this.

Pours a pale yellow hazy color, average gasification. Head is average sized, diminishes quickly and leaves a weak film. Aroma is overwheelming lemon, and maybe bread and wheat. Body is mild, carbonation is high, aftertaste is sweet and sour. Taste is fruity, yeasty, but maybe not very well balanced. Certainly, not the best from grimbergen.

Bottle 33 cl, BBE 08/2013. Pours hazy yellow in color with a small bubbly white head. Perfume, some coriander and orange peel in aroma. Quite soft and has a smooth mouthfeel. A bit of coriander in taste, some lemon and just a bit of butterscotch sweetness as well in flavor. No sharpness at all in this one, which is nice. A bit of peppery spicyness and ripe garden fruityness in finish.

330ml bottle. Malty, some spicy and sweet aromas. Pous very hazy light gold, with average creamy white head, vanishing, poor lacing. Light body, average carbonation, crispy texture. Taste is spicy, some sweet, malty. A Hoegaarden wannabe.

0,25L bottle. Calm wheat aroma. Quite fruity taste and appropriately mild. I dont like wheat beers and this one is normal. Apparently it is due to a watery beer.
