Pours pale yellow with light long lasting head. Aroma is citrus, cloves and a little spicy. Flavour is like a normal wit with notes of citrus, belgian yeast and coriander but the alcohol is more tastable.

Hazy blond and slightly darker than the white hoe. Aroma is wheaty, corriander and citric but not of the strenght of the original. Flavour is less wheaty with more sweet malt and less cloying. Finishes with a nice bitter and spicy touch.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with a slim, but steady white head. Spicey and citrus aroma. Taste has citrus, banana, fresh yeast with a slightly sour then sweet finish. A thirst quenchingly decent witbier (a bit better than the normal stuff).

Thanks to Belgianbeergal, of course, for this one. Cloudy yellow orange glow with a small head that fades fast. Aroma is light spice and sweet candi sugar. Light yeast present. Taste is sweet and light . Smooth and very drinkable. I would say this one held up, thanks!

Bottle. Deep cloudy gold color. Fruity, citrus, wheat malt, coriander aroma. Lots of rich, creamy, citrus fruit. Sweet, fruity, wheat malt flavor. A bit too sweet. Spicy, citrus. Full, smooth, body. They can still do something right over there.

Hazy yellow, with a medium white head. Sweet, yeasty and some wheat in the aroma. Very boring, yeasty flavor, sweet. Nothing special.
