Hansen (5449) - Assentoft, - JUL 29, 2012
Light yellow and hazy. Has a white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma is fruity, citrus, lemon. Flavor starts heavy sweet, then some acidic, no bitterness. Light syrupy texture. And artificial sweetners dosn’t belong in beers!

MichaelBruch (1486) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - MAY 3, 2013
Can from Vaals, Netherlands shared with McTapps. Starting of you get that crazy citrus aroma which is sour and artificial. But from the back to the front comes that huge Hoegaarden which makes even that pissy beer-mix a classic. Coriander and oranges save that one from being a bad one. No, they make this one a good and drinkable one.

McTapps (1487) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - MAY 3, 2013
Can. Milky light yellow colour with low steady head and thin body. Nose of lime juice. Taste of mild Belgian witbier with a light freshly pressed lime juice hint. Easy to drink but little bit too thin and watery.

250ml bottle (Janoinen Lohi, Helsinki, Kalakierros 2013)
lemonade aroma. pale and hazy actually quite disturbing. Disgusting lemonadey taste. Shitty lemoade and shitty wheatbeer mixed = shit. InBev, go kill yourselves.

Hazy yellow, fizzy short head. Lemon sweet like aroma, soda. Fair mouthfeel. Soda pop fizzy lemon citrus flavour.

Camons (3706) - Hasselager, DENMARK - FEB 26, 2013
Bottle @ Home. Pours hazy pale yellow with a fast fading white head. Aroma of sweet artificial lemon, candy, sugar. Flavor is sugar, sweets, candy, artificial lemon / citrus. Thin watery body, lively carbonation. I geuss its allright as a soft drink ala Fanta lemon, as a beer its awfull. 260213

Hoegaarden is already characterized by its strong citrus appeal. I’m not sure why this beer was necessary at all. Watery, more lemonade, than beer.

Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - SEP 13, 2012
#1048 Es sieht aus wie Bio-Zitronenlimonade; der Schaum ist auch im nu wieder weg. In der Nase ausschließlich eine Citrus-Note. Der Antrunk ist wäßrig-zitronig und gegen Ende wird es süßstoffartig. Vielleicht als Durstlöscher bei Tropenhitze zu empfehlen, aber für mich einfach kein Genuß und auch kein Bier. Vom eigentlichen Witbier-Charakter kommt nichts mehr rüber! Test vom 17.11.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 5,6,6,3,5,5 - 5,00

Cloudy pale yellow colour with no head. Citrus and acidic aroma. Citrus and acidic flavour with a sweet undertone. Limonade beer. (Bottle 25cl)

25 cl bottle in Brussels. Pale yellow beer with no head. Citrus aroma and flavour. Thin and not nice at all. Beer?

Palme (2250) - Bergen, NORWAY - AUG 16, 2012
0.33l can. This is a light cloudy yellow-milky colored thing with a small lasting just off-white head. Smells artificial with lime, sugar and lemon. It’s actually really refreshing in flavor. A bit, or make that extremely sweet, but absolutely lemony and quenching while eating a chicken sandwich in the sun. 09.08.2012
