Nope. Not at all a favorite. Even to slam. Just over the top messy bread and yeast flavor. Different but bad.

Bottle. Pour is very light cloudy yellow with a nice sized bright white head. Aroma is coriander, chamomile, lemon, lightly herbal, and faint wheat-like aroma. Flavor is nice and full with coriander, lemon, and a richness that must come from the grain. It’s so much more full bodied than expected. I really like this and will buy much more in the summer.

Had this bottled in the US and fresh in Belgium and got more recently. Pour is a light gold with a thin white head. Lovely, light aroma that is pungent for a white. Tastes as though there’s an orange peel in the glass while your drinking it. Blends the sweet and sour flavors well. I love sipping on this beer every time I have it. As far as the white’s go, this is definitely my favorite. I can’t wait to go back to Belgium for more of this and others.

(draft at Trinity in Colorado Springs). Cloudy yellow color. Small white head. Coriander aroma and flavor. Short duration. Smooth finish. Thin texture. Moderate/fizzy carbonation. Good lacing.

I really liked this beer. Looks turbid in the glass. Great aroma. Very refreshing, fruity, with good acidity and a nice texture. The head is creamy but not very thick. I could drink more than one easily!

12oz. Citrus nose. Bright flavor, spice and citrus flavors pop with each bubble. Banana and wheat linger on the back of the tongue. There’s a real trub flavor that remains a couple minutes after drinking, probably from the yeast? Yay beer!

Has an extremely light color, but has a nice aroma of lemon and citrus. The flavor is also fruity with the hint of wheat. It definitely is easy to drink.

Bottle. Can’t believe I haven’t rated this before. Pours hazy pale yellow with a diminishing white head. Aroma has notes of citrus, yeast, banana and clove. Flavour is similar but more doughy and has a little bit more spice. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation and a dry but slightly bitter finish. A very good wit (one of the best), easy drinking and highly sessionable.
