330ml bottle. Pours cloudy golden in color with white head. Aroma wheat, yeast and citrus. Taste yeasty, wheat and spicey with dry finish.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Has a slightly fruity, bready aroma and a medium head that dissipated relatively quickly. An opaque, pale yellow from the fact it is unfiltered. Had a sweet, bready taste, with just enough of a hint of citrus flavoring. Finishes very cleanly; it had very little hop bitterness, though I don’t expect this kind of beer to be very hoppy. Extremely drinkable beer overall.

Pours a pale yellow color with a large white foamy head that is easily aggrevated. Nose is yeasty, clove, corriander, other spices, orange peel/citrus. Initial taste of clove and corriander, moving into wheat and spices. Finishing is crisp and refreshing but too light and flavor qualities fade quick. Palate duration is average. Better than some belgian whits that I have had but this is no prize itself. Above average head retention. Extremely light bodied.

Pours Like a 50/50 mix of milk and lemonade, with a thick head that takes a while to fade and leaves some lacing. Lots of wheaty citrus and cloves in the nose and some Juicy Fruit gum. Lots of citrus and wheat in the flavor with a nice fresh baked chewy, yeasty bread finish. Carbonation is strong but pleasantly refreshing and really helps thin out what may be a sticky mouthfeel otherwise. Nice and refreshing like a good Wit should be.

Refreshing and easy to drink. Very nice taste of citrus, wheat and grass. This beer has a nice natural feeling.

My rating is caused by a lack of delight in this style of beer. I only tried it because someone gave me some to try at my Homebrewers Society meeting. Didn’t like it.

Cloudy light golden color - almost white. Yeasty and citrisywith less of coriander and spice than I was expecting. Superior to any wits brewed in the United States. An excellent summer drink if you can afford it.
