Absolutley the best beer i’ve tasted in my life so far and thats a lot of diff beers from many countries, just stumbled across this site trying to track down where to get it again as the Uni bar I drank it at in Coventry, UK has insanely stopped doing it saying it wasnt popular (bloody young students all into their Stella and Carling etc i suppose and wont try anything new!!!). A wonderfully refreshing beer with a hint of spice and fruit flavours. Very very moorish.

This beer is not quite as good as my rating, but its associated with so many good memories sitting along the Oudegracht in Utrecht, with a lemon slice added, I can’t help myself. The "hampster beer" is the best Dutch contribution to a style dominated by Belgians.

Perfect white for a sunday afternoon on a terrace. Fruity taste and a bit nice foamy collar, Look a bit darker then the usual white.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2003 Re rate: same as below though not as fresh. Banana and apples in aroma, some sour twang in taste and a lingering pineapple aftertaste. Full bodied and very sweet. Some sugar was detected. The best white I have tried.

I LOVE the touch of gray in some witbiers, added to the brown, yellow, bright gold. This is one of those. Great dense foam head in the final 300 ml, great body for a witbier, solid, filled with great sediment. The aroma has some cheese and forest mushroom, pungent, other really fragrant and direct spicing in the mouth (clove, pepper). Flavors lightly sour, lightly bitter, lightly sweet. Wheaty tangy creaminess with actual citrus fooling me going on; there seems to be orange in here. Very spicy. Best before August 2011. From Wine of Dreams. Awesome witbier experience. I recall fondly reading about this beer on this website something like 8 years ago - oh wait, let me check that here on Ratebeer!

UPDATED: SEP 20, 2008 Lemon meringue haze and perfumey white suds. Zinging lemon and elderflower fruitiness, finished off with a moreish touch of dryness. The smooth, teasing spice of Hoegaarden (coriander seeds, curacao orange peel). As refreshing and balanced a wit as you’re likely to find. And what a bottle. HAIL the hamster.
