Pours a whispy, cloudy yellow with a nice white head. Aroma is lime, citrusy coriander, and orange yeast. Flavor is melon yeast, springy fruit, and peach. Tingly mouthfeel. Refreshing.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours a cloudy white. Smells of typical wit with a bunch of spices added. Grains of paradise maybe, coriander? Tastes a little sweet with a bunch of the aforementioned spices coming through over everything else. Finishes real dry with the spices lingering around way too much. Not worth seeking out, but when they have it at the local corner shop, it’s not a bad beer to drink with a spicy dinner.

Draft. An unclear yellow beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, lots of wheat, and coriander as well as light notes of lemon. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat and lemon as well some coriander, leading to a dry wheaty, lemony, and spicy finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bouteille (merci, Stephane!) Pale golden, hazy, small white stable head with a good lace; citrussy-wheaty nose with a tinge of coriander; moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, medium bodied; warming lemony finish with a herbal tartness in the aftertaste. A bit on the sweet side, but all in all a pleasant and fresh brew....
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cloudy yellowy white with a thin head, sweet citrus aroma, tastes a lot like Hoegaarden but better.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle at Tom’s Tasting, April 2009. Very spicy, rather sweet. I found it a bit sickly. Inoffensive but I thought it had more in common with Kronenbourg Blanche than a traditional Belgian Wit. Surprised to see how high this has scored.

250ml bottle - trade with Rosenbergh - thanks!
Lovely sweet fruity spicy aroma - corriander. Crisp carbonation, sweet
smooth palate. Spicy corriander and wheat taste, not as crisp as a
normal wit, but still quite tasty. Finish pleasant milky wheaty
finish, tiny touch of hops too. Covers the alcohol completely.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
0.25l bottle from Auchan Illkirch-Graffenstaden. Hazy pale yellow colour with a mid-sized white head. Fruity-spicy nose. Full-bodied, wheaty and malty with lots of spices like coriander, cinnamon, clove and a nice touch of citrus fruit always in the background. Not too dry, but not too sweet either, a well-balanced witbier. I didn’t expect to like this, but I think it might be one of the nicest beers of the style I’ve tasted so far.
