Pours a cloudy pale hay color, with about a head of stark white, rapidly dissipating head. Aroma of bananas and orange rind. Soft flavor with orange and wheat prominent. Ends with a sweet tang. Very drinkable, decent witbier.

330ml bottle into eponymous branded tumbler glass. Pours a murky straw yellow liquid with a generous short lasting white head. Aromas of spicy yeasts, wheat, fresh coriander and oranges. Smooth thickish palate with spicy flavours of oranges and wheat. Tingly sweetish citrus finish that lingers in the mouth. Refreshing and drinkable.

Classic Belgian flavors of clove and citrus, nice balance of these two flavors. Nice golden color with a tall head. Not much complexity to the aroma or flavor but a solid mid-level wheat beer.

I am not so much all about an InBev product, and I am sure that this is not exactly what Celis brewed. But in keeping an open mind this is pleasant. This has a very hazy color and a white fluffy head. The aroma is spicy and smells of the orange peel and yeast. The flavor is nice, a little sweet but certainly contains some good orange peel bitterness and a nice yeasty and citrusy flavor. The palate is very nice and soft.

Translucent pale straw pour, thick 2 finger head fades quickly. Very cloudy, lots of pieces of yeast floating around. Quite appealing. Smells yeasty, doughy as well as a strong wheat aroma. A somewhat herbal smell. Hint of citric oils. Doughy taste, again with a hit of tangy orange, which makes for an interesting experience. For some reason boiled vegetables came to mind while drink this beer, which was a little off-putting. Flows round the mouth smoothly with notifiable carbonation. After a few sips this gets bit watery, but coming back to it after a minute or so the citrus and coriander refreshes the taste buds. Could drink many of these fast on a hot day.

Enjoyed at The Stable. Finally got to taste this classic. Very nice. It appears semi filtered with a nice white soapy head. The aroma is lemon and clove. Flavor is pretty much the same with a bit of spice. A nice beer and an excellent representation of its style.

Hazy yellow appearance with a small but delicious head. Aroma of coriander, clove, phenolic banana, citruses. Citrus is in the flavor too with fine spicy tastes of coriander and clove. Nice wheat beer notes, fine lively carbonation. Not a big body but refresh, some bittery finish because orange peels.

Bottle. Aroma of banana and yeast. Cloudy pale yellow body, white head. Not overly sweet in flavor, refreshing, mainly citrus, banana, and some spiciness. Very pleasant and enjoyable, but not head and shoulders above other quality wits.
