on Tap Lis Doon Varna Peoria, AZ: Smelled fruity, sour and spicy with minimal head. Served with orange slice (I removed). Taste was spicy (corriander) and citrusy. Nice medium mouth feel. Not as sweet as I expeced, but very good.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 July 2009) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Wheaty, fruity nose with notes of wheat flour, citrus and coriander. Fruity, wheaty taste with white bread, dough and spicy hints of coriander and citrus. Rather light body, not overly sweet. It has lost some character over the years, but it’s still tasy and refreshing.

Very light like hazy white grapefruit, with a nice white head. Presented a very unique flavor combination of orange and zucchini, followed by nothing, no aftertaste. Made for an insanely drinkable beer, out on the deck, talking and soaking in the sun.

Drank from bottle in Luxembourg. This is pretty good for a widely available beer. Its light and you can drink a lot, not something i’d start the night with, but definetly have and will finish the night with it.

Bottle, pretty much everywhere. Never been a fan of wheat beers but have had a Damascene conversion. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow with an initially frothy head that thins out but stays the distance. Aroma is lemon, sour apple, yeast and a touch of clove/cinnamon spice. Bubblegum/banana flavour with pepper and flowery touches. Pleasantly light palate, ideal for summer. I wish I’d been able to enjoy this before InBev got their grubby mitts on the brand.

Pours nicely, great visual of hazy yellow. Smell of citrus, tastes of orange and spices. Very refreshing, good witbier for sure.

Light, good carbonation, but funky wheat aroma (still trying to gravitate from IPA to wheat); you can taste both the sweet and sour as the description says. Excellent with a lemon and some seafood. I rarely give a 5 for palate, but this deserves it.

Pour was lightly carbonated, and hazy unique straw colored. Citrus and cloves with spices in the nose followed by a lingering floral aroma. Light smooth mouth feel and not what you’d think from the nose on taste. Alot of clove present up front with little to no bitterness to finish it out. A great summer time beer for something different great up front on the taste but lacking in the finish kept it from a higher score. P.S. On a side note my friend mentioned "it was like drinking the urine from god’s penis" Awesome
