Pours a hazy straw into the glass, with a fizzy white soda head that dissipates quickly. Some wheat and sour grains to the nose. The flavors have some lemony citrus, sour grains, citrus rind, light coriander notes, hay and blanched wheat. Lively carbonation accompanies a refreshing citrus-sour finish, making for a light-bodied quaff. Nice Belgian White here, and a great offering to partake during warm weather... perfect for summer.

there is a definite citrus aroma to it with a mild touch of spicyness. it pours a cloudy honey color with a fabulous foamy and thick white head. the flavor is slightly less citrusy than the aroma and the coriander and orange peel are evident and tasty. the mouthfeel is thick and creamy (the main reason why i prefer belgian beers) and the finish lingers on with a subtle citrus hoppiness.

Without question my favorite white beer. More balanced and smooth than a lot of other overwhelmingly citrus flavored whites and wheats. Perfectly refreshing.

A nice belgian ale that really sets the standard for Belgian whites. It is excellent on tap where available and usually can be found at Bevmo.

Another great beer to enjoy in the desert while camping. I love the refreshing taste and the easy drinkability. Very quenching.

Definitely one of my favorite beers of all time (and THE favorite for the white beer category). Unfortunately IMHO it does not taste as good out of the bottle and it’s a little hard to find on spicket.

Aroma de fermento e pão, mas com o paladar pouco expressivo, ligeiramente frutado. Espuma clara e pouco duradoura. Boa carbonatação.

12oz bottle and on tap. Poured a really hazy dull yellow. Thin white head that fizzles down quickly. Little lace. Smell is very fruit. Main smell is bananas. Taste is similiar, but there is more of a hoppy taste involved. Starts out bitter and then eventually ends smooth after a while. Overall, it is a decent brew for something so popular, even with the slice of orange.
