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.

pale yellow, slightly cloudy somewhat highly carbonated starts with a moderate amount of hoppyness, the mouthful is medium and the finish comes out citrusy and spiced, from the coriander no doubt. Not really the kind of beer I like to enjoy on its own, but would prob go very well with certain foods.
