Bottle@Home. Coriander and clove aroma. Cloudy, yellow color, white head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, light sourish, lots of spices but very well balanced, coriander, clove, laurel. Flavorful and surprising. Don’t understand why it gets so low ratings here. It’s one of the best Belgian White I ever had.

There was a wierd sidetaste that i didn’t like and that’s why this is rated quite low, even though this should have been a decent beer.

On tap in Paris. Straw body with medium head. Nose is hops, coriander. Taste is floral, hoppy and nice spices. Perhaps a tad watery. Enjoyable.

Small bottle. Cloudy straw yellow body, small head. Yeasty aroma with citrus and bread. Taste has wheat with citrus and some sweet apple. Good balance. Nice and refreshing. But what’s with the miniature 250ml bottles? Save that for the minibars.

Medium white head. Hazy opaque pale yellow body. Strong soapy coriander aroma with citric mealy notes. Dry-sweetish mealy citric coriander taste with candy perfume notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish mealy coriander aftertaste with spicy notes. Nice, but a bit artificial. (0.4l draft at Manala, Helsinki.)

Backlog summer 20100 La Rochelle on bottle Light hazy color, good foam Medium body and complexity Very fruity and refreshing Very enjoyable

Nice, quite tasty witbier. Not as banana-like as many German beers of this kind.

Bottle from Carrefour. No smell, I guess. Opaque yellow. Sour and acidic. Easy to drink, I guess, but not that great for this type of beer. A pointless beer. Unless the point is getting buzzed, because it works for that. It comes with an extra 1% alcohol compared to Hoegaarden.

Draught: Medium vast white head, which changes into creamy lacing on top of a bright yelllow colored beer. Smell lemon earth, dust, earth and sweet malts. Taste is mostly lemon dominated, with hints of citra hops, citrus and barleys malts. Not much else. Mostly strong lemon lime mix. Low aftertaste of a watery mix of citrus and lemon. Low carbo, soft tingly light creamy mouthfeel, medium body and a light creamy texture. Strange beer. Not bad but way too lemon/lime-o-nised.

Pours hazy light yellow with a low head. Aroma is malts, citrus and yeast. Flavor is malts with some wheat. Sadly the flavor is disappointingly boring.

Pours hazy yellow with a low head. Aroma is citrus, yeast and malts. Disappointing flavor is malts with some wheat. Decent.
