white head, pale white yellow cloudy body. nice faint citron smell. Easy drinking, citrus finish. no surprises. I will have no problem buying this again.

Pours cloudy and very pale greenish yellow with a tall, white fizzy head. Powerful sour aromas with hints of lemon; whatever hops are present are thoroughly occulted. Meyer lemon flavors dominate the palate. Light body, clean finish. A great beer.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with stark white head and decent lacing. Nose is yeast, banana, orange and coriander. Taste is very much the same with a tingly, dry citrus finish. Lighter mouth feel. Ok – a little sweet for me.

Bottle 75cl. Yellow hazy body with large white creamy head. A fresh yeasty nose. Fresh and carbonated body with lots of different notes - yeast and citrus. A little too lightbodied for my taste but a nice and easy beer to drink.

i’m literally on my knees in front of this beer. I’d probably fight anyone that said anything bad about it. This is the affinity i share with this amazing witbier. Nostalgic nights in the boaters (jazz on a sunday) It’s 3.50 a pint mate...no worries. Any lemon? don’t be ridiculous. A herbal sensation with a creamy sourness that basically stands up in a crowd and says im top dog. Yes, i’ve had better beers since but none of them will ever give me as much pleasure as this once did. i can only compare it to taking acid for the first time. Parsnip, grass and all the good things i like. a flavour onslaught as the carbonation dissipates. Not the prettiest of beers but my lord does it taste great. This beer is your friend and won’t let you down. I’m tempted to give it top marks just out of sheer respect.
