Banana, hints of menthol and citrus on the nose, nice and tart.Very aromatic. So nice and drinkable, smooth and thick. Buttery and rich but it isn’t too heavy. Flavour is quite full on, more to the point than some wits. Delicious.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with some body to the white head. There’s an aroma of grapefruit, passionfruit, orange, and lemon... a big bouquet of citrus. Floral and fruit flavors are predominant with a bit of spice and hops. A great summer beer I’m up for drinking any season.

soft aroma of yeast. appearance is sunny straw colored, quite hazy and cloudy. flavor is of yeast and light tartness/spice. palate is a bit thick but inconsistent, at times seems thin despite the heavy carb.

Pale yellow pour with large white head. Wheat and spices in aroma, but flavor is a bit watered down, only hint of citrus. Overrated.

From the 330 ml bottle marked 15/03/10-T-02217-3511. At first glance the pour looks as clear and thin as water but after a moment the cloudy, pale yellow appearance emerges. A smoky roasted wheat aroma is the first sensation I get. Delicate but typical for a witbier. The mouthfeel is fairly heavy but the flavor explodes with wheat and coriander. A vague citrusy tartness but more sweet than that. A fine balanced beer.

Unfiltered, so cloudy yellow color with a think head. Aroma is quite strong with citrus and wheat. Much lighter on the taste buds than I was expecting, it’s very easy to drink. Good beer.

One of my all time favorite brews. You just feel all powerful when you hold that giant chunky thick glass in your hand and all the other sheep in the bar stare at you wishing there pitiful pint of yellow piss would look as good. The beer is a cloudy pail yellow, with a giant thick white head that disappears after a few sips. The refreshing sent of orange, lemon and spices prepares you for the goodness that will soon follow with your first taste. Dam I feel like I’m having sex with my keyboard writing this review. The taste is very smooth with hints of citrus and spice, the after taste is slightly tart making it the perfect choice any time your thirsty. I can’t get enough of this stuff, its like heroin it is..... (homer drewl)

Very light, but good. There is enough sweet spice notes to make the lightness refreshing instead of boring. Great feeling when there is head - not so much without head.
