COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"Gruut" is an ancient Flemish coin. In medieval Ghent, brewers used Gruuts to pay taxes on the richness of their brew. Gentse Stadsbrouwerij has revived this tradition with Gruut Wit Beer. Enjoy it’s natural cloudiness, golden color, and refreshing finish.

Slight smoke flavour, slightly soapy, but in a nice way, slight citrus too, not a bad example of the style

sebletitje (4407) - Enghien, BELGIUM - APR 6, 2012
33cl bottle. Dorée au départ devant trouble sur la fin/foin, col blanc. Arôme est léger, levure et épicé avec un fruité modéré. Assez décevant. En bouche, le tout est léger, pointe de levure, qcq agrumes et épices, note herbacée et houblonnée pour une amertume légère en fin de bouche. Le tout est moyennement pétillant et se termine sur une note moyenne citrique/agrumes.

thirstyrabbit (540) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - FEB 18, 2012
Bottle. Pale straw yellow, medium head. Weak aroma of lemon and wheat malt. Thin mouthfeel, taste falls short in both wheatiness and spiciness. Too light and has no real character. It would be forgivable in a cheap gulping beer but this is supposed to be a sipping beer, no?

Botella de 33 Cl. Aunque este tipo de cerveza no es de mi santo devocion esta me ha gustado bastante.
