25cL bottle. I really enjoyed this beer. More golden colour than normal Hoegaarden with a slight citrus flavor that was refreshing. Recommend trying this beer.

250 ml. A whitish colour with lots of creamy foam. Strong on the wheat and some spices, it gives a sharp sourish wheat. For what it wants to accomplish, I think it succeeded. Interesting. I can see why you love or hate this one.

Bottle at Berenbak, Antwerpen. Cloudy, pale orange with a medium to small head. Fruity and spicy aroma, slightly tart, bananas detected. Flavours are fruity, but with good bitterness. Elegantly, bananas and clove flavours are hinted at. Medium body. Enjoyable and thirst-quenching.

Very hazy, yellow/orange, with a big and lasting white head. Refreshing fruity aroma with lemon, orange, pineapple, hay, coriander. Mild and somewhat sweet with a little citrus tartness. Very pleasant drink.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with a huge mostly lasting white creamy head. Rich aroma and taste of yeast, coriander and orange peel. A decent wit.

Bottle at home. Citrusy scent. Excellent witbier. Pleasantly carbed. Nicely balanced. Very enjoyable, even if the style isn’t mine.
