This beer came with a lot of hype. I found it very bitter and lacking in flavor. Very dissapointed.

This is another absolute favourite of mine. A quite obvious citrus flavour makes this a perfect summer beer. The aroma experienced as the glass approaches your mouth is simply refreshing and is half the experience. The appearance is light and cloudy with a pure white head. The taste is nothing complex, quite apparent really. I suggest pouring this into a freezer chilled glass for those of you who live in the warmer climates.

Pours a lemony yellow with a citrus aroma. Specific smell of lemons with a hint of spice. Taste of sweet and sour lemons, very distinct lemon taste, almost too much. A refreshing summer drink, a true Witbier, with an overall lemony explosion.

Bottle. Poured a hazy pale yellow with an average sized white fizzy head that was mostly diminishing and had good lacing. The aroma was heavy with a leathery yeast scent, light flowery hops with notes of orange and allspice. It tasted quite yeasty with a mild acidic flavor at first and finished about the same except for the hints of orange on the tongue left , to linger for a nice while. Mouthfeel was light to medium in body and was suprisingly very creamy in texture. Overall a very tasty wheat beer, definitley worth drinking a few.

Pours very pale yellowy...almost white, with significant white, foamy head that lingers for a long time. Nose is very sweet with notes of bitter orange and spices, like most good witbiers. The taste is very well-balanced, with the usual spiciness, citrus, and sweet malt expected with a white and all are exceptionally good in this beer. Finish is sweet with a touch of alcohol. Probably the best witbier I’ve had.

Pours hazy yellow with rich white long lasting head. Aroma of fruits, citrus, yeast and some malts. Well carbonated with small bubbles. Fresh fruity, slightly sweet, a hint of grass and sour flavor. Crisp and a bit sour and hoppy on palate. Finish is quite short with a weak aftertaste of hops.

Sweet and bready with a slight nose of spices. Slight bite of coriander and orange peel but not noticeable unless you are looking for it. Overall a very well rounded good example of a traditional Belgian wit.

Pale blonde pour into thick frothy white head that quickly dissipates into a swirl of foam and minimal melting lacing as carbonated bubbles rise through the hazy golden hue from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of yeasty sweet bread, malted wheat, and sweet citrus. Initial flavor of yeasty biscuits, spicy citrus and lemon zest fading to a crisp light finish.
