Bottle 33 cl. A cloudy, pale yellow colour with a high, frothy, white head. An aroma of wheat, spice and citrus. The taste is medium sweet. A medium body, oily texture, average carbonation and a long finish.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tasted bottle from Trader Joe’s into nucleated tulip glass. Pours a very light straw color with yeast haze and tall white foam which immediately subsides, leaving no lace. Aromas of grass, faint citrus, clove and coriander but no late hops. Malt flavor is nonexistent, completely cancelled out by bittering hops and attenuative yeast. All that’s left is a neutral, highly carbonated wash. Light body. Soft, mellow, wheat bread aftertaste. It causes instant dry-mouth. People who say Belgian Witbier is refreshing must simply keep pouring ’em back without taking a break. Slightly more sour and peppery as it warms, but fewer yeast phenols overall than I expected. This is an ale, right? I’ve tasted plenty of unfiltered lagers with more character than this. None of this is bad, per se. Hoegaarden is the original beloved Belgian Wit. And it IS very good; I guess this just proves I prefer some of the Americanized interpretations with more complex grainbills, more malty-sweetness, more color, more body, and more aggressive yeast profiles. Now I know; it’s good to go back to the source on occasion. See how your own tastes have changed over time.

I like this even though it pains a little - spicing is good, wheat is good, life is good

Bottle. pours cloudy pale yellow. The distinctive yeast makes for an appealing citrus and spice nose. Tastes refreshing. Citrus. Smooth with a mild CO2 sharpness. A fine beer. This was the first premium European beer to be available in Edinburgh. It holds fond memories.

One of the nicest beers I’ve ever tasted. This is one cool beer. Everything from it’s mysterious cloudy colour, to the speciality glass encompasses it. Aorma may be a slight let down, it’s complex but to me, as I spend alot of time around bacterial culture, the smell of yeast was odd, but not detering. The meat of this beer is in the taste. It glides smoothly, holding it’s medium/full body well with it’s abv which doesn’t overwhelm at all, letting those sweet citrus notes shine, along with the classic wtibier taste. A must try.

Bouteille de 25cl. Couleur jaune très pale, léger trouble, mousse moyenne et de tenue moyenne. Un classique parmi les classiques mais son statut est justifié par ses ârômes épicés et d’agrumes et sa capacité désaltérante. Je la trouve juste un peu faible niveau carbonnation même si c’est souvent le cas des blanches. Trouvée à Intermarché - Montigny en Gohelle.
