Alla spina ad un ristorantino a Montmartre molto carino, purtroppo non ricordo il nome; me l’han portata col limone quindi le mie impressioni di agrumato strabordante potrebbero essere falsate. Tuttavia una buona blanche molto beverina, da giornata di caldo.

On tap in a cafe in Chamonix. Yellow coloured wheat beer, quite clean taste, hints of lemon and spices, nice and quenching if nothing overly interesting.

citrus flavour. pale colour. lightly bitter, lightly sour. An avergage white beer

Served with a lemon @ L’royal Opera Brasserie. Lemon & coriander on the nose. Pours clear yellow with a white head that disappears quickly (thank you lemon). Sweet lemon flavor with corander and chamomile, very floral flavor. Not bad but not great.

A wheat beer produced by Heineken in the style of Hoegaarden, with a similar citrous flavour, but also a pleasant note of bananas. Very refreshing to sip on a warm summer evening.

33cl. glass on tap at Vicdessos. It pours a hazy pale yellow liquid with a medium-high white head that lasts somehow throughout the beer and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is fresh, with hints of wheat, citron (orange and a little lemon) and coriander. It smells syrupy though, a little artificial. It tastes likewise, soapy, being rather sweet, a little sour and not bitter. In the mouth it feels mildly carbonated, soda-like, a little thick, with a medium body and a semi-dry sour finish, with a wheaty and citrusy aftertaste. Not a very good witbier in comparison to the usual ones.

05.05.2011. 0,5l on tap in Paris. Aroma is wheaty with nice aromatc flavours of hops and wheat. Notes of lemon or orange peel. Good beer!

Bottle 33cl. A cloudy yellow-orange beer with low head. A nice witbier, quite sweet, malted, not acid, low lemon aroma, very pleasant.

Cloudy yellowy white but not much head, sweet floral aroma, taste like a normal wheat beer but with a hint of vanilla, surprisingly I really like it, when in France, I buy it whenever I come across it in the shops.

from tap @ terrace in Montpellier. Hazy white coulour with nice and stable white head. Smell: lemon, sweetness. Taste: Coriander, sweetness and lemon. Very refreshing beer who misses a lot of body. But overall not bad at all!

I had a sixer of this on Christmas morning before the real drinking began :).Edelsweiss is trying to resemble Hoegaarden & that is manifested ,I reckonz. Good take on the Witbier style. Spicy,dry and kinda tart palate and flavours. . I did not get too much aromatized herbs in my glass. Damn.
