Bottle, wonderful white golden color. Unfiltered, so cloudy. Smooth, wheat and yeast flavors, with some citrus thrown in to give it some tang. The quintessential wheat beer.

Probably not the best one to comment on this since I don’t generally drink Wits, but this is nice. Pours a nice hazy gold with a dense white head. Clear yeasty aroma and a nice balanced flavor with a creamy, smooth body. Refreshing.

Such a great standard for Wits. It’s not too sour, not too sweet, and in my view doesn’t really take a direction as far as yeast/grain vs. spice vs. fruit. A very solid common ground - one of the few great compromises in any style

Hoegaarden is pretty good, especially if you squeeze a little lemon into the glass. The base is a little different compared to what I am used to but I still think it is good.

Pours a cloudy straw-gold. The aroma is mainly wheat, yeast, and grass. The taste is a nice blend of wheat, yeast, banana, citrus, and grasses. I came into this not expecting much, but I was presently surprised. Not bad at all.

Pours very cloudy, straw-coloured and milky, with a slick fading white head. Strong wheat twang, yeasty, coriander, spicy phenolics. Tart and prickly, full-bodied and round, slightly citrusy. Mild and smooth, but definitely not boring. Refreshing if a bit watery - best tap selection at a lot of bars.
